This is truly earthshaking, though it will probably fail to cause the least little tremble beneath the feet of today's average Americans. Virginia Senator Tim Kane, Hillary Clinton's handpicked vice presidential running mate in 2016, said, during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday, that the founding and fundamental principle of our representative republic is radical and dangerous. According to Kane, the belief that our rights come from our God rather than from our government not only turns us into a theocratic state, but will also put us under the iron fist of a theocratic regime.

Another Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, is undoubtedly turning over in his grave today, over Tim Kane pulling out from under our nation its cornerstone doctrine and bedrock principle. Jefferson, the author of our country's birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, penned these famous words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Jefferson went on to explain in the Declaration of Independence that the sole purpose of government is to protect and preserve our God-given and unalienable rights, and that any government that ceases to do so should be abolished by the people and replaced with a new government that will faithfully fulfill its divinely ordained objective. 

The following quote of Thomas Jefferson is inscribed on the northeast portico of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC: "God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever." If you ask me, the fact that our Founding Fathers, like Thomas Jefferson, have now been replaced by Democrats, like Tim Kane, should cause all of America to tremble today.

Thomas Jefferson, unlike Tim Kane, understood that when government rather than God is seen as supreme, then government becomes our god and we its underlings, living under its iron-fisted control. This is incontrovertibly proven by communism, the basis of which is atheism. By removing belief in God, the communist makes government supreme and the final arbiter of all human rights and freedoms. In communist countries, the government not only gives rights, but can also take them away, whenever it is not unquestionably obeyed. While Tim Kane has undoubtedly made Thomas Jefferson turn over in his grave, he has also undoubtedly won for himself a standing ovation in Hell, from the likes of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Fidel Castro. He has also given every American a good reason to tremble and to fear for the future of our representative republic, by pulling out from under it the fundamental and foundational principle upon which it was founded!
