"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"FREEDOM"
"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written as a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."
~ Alexander Hamilton, 1775
Each Supreme Court Justice takes the following Oath of Office,
"I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."
Justice is one of the great pillars of American society.
The ethicist, Evelyn Shirk, in her book The Ethical Dimension states in part,
"Any individual law can be unjust or ludicrous. Especially in a large democracy, a particular law may be enacted as the result of power, prestige, special privilege, and pressure rather than consensus, agreement or compromise.
"Worship of law prevents the necessary critical examination of particular laws - of the ways they arose and the ways they operate. It inhibits the awareness of social injustice and of the need for revision."
Love comes in many forms. We may have a Love of Country, Love of God, Love of Family
Through love we pursue other truths of humanity, including our sense of human potential and opportunity.
Through unselfish love and respect for mankind's unalienable rights, a sense of true freedom flourishes: Freedom to provide for ourselves and our family; Freedom to pursue our talents and be rewarded with self-reliance; Freedom of religion, to believe or not believe
"HONOR"
In his Farewell Address in 1796, replete with the importance of virtue, George Washington, America's first Commander in Chief, spoke eloquently:
"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great nation..."
