Amen, Mitt Romney!
The following is an excerpt from Mitt Romney’s speech today addressing the role of faith in his life. The speech kicks off at 10:30; I will publish the full text afterward.
Amen, Mitt Romney! It is too bad that a majority of our politicians do not have the same understanding of the relationship between faith and government as does he.
“There are some who may feel that religion is not a matter to be seriously considered in the context of the weighty threats that face us. If so, they are at odds with the nation’s founders, for they, when our nation faced its greatest peril, sought the blessings of the Creator. And further, they discovered the essential connection between the survival of a free land and the protection of religious freedom. In John Adam’s words: ‘We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion… Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people.’
