A Call to Reclaim America, by Jody Hice: on Principles & Values
Freedom without Judeo-Christian context leads to corruption
[Islamists such as Hamas' leader] believes the Islamic worldview is superior because it is more moral. Their culture will not tolerate such vile behavior as our 'freedoms' permit. He hates what our liberties have given to the world.
Frankly, few people could blame him for his abhorrence of the U.S. for our immorality. Unfortunately, in his criticism he has misdiagnosed the problem. The problem is not our FREEDOM; it has served us, and the world well for centuries.
The problem is that we are trying to exercise liberty from a secular humanist worldview, and it does not work! 'Freedom' within any context other than a Judeo-Christian one, only leads to corruption. 'Freedom' without boundaries is not freedom;
it breeds degradation.
On the other hand, it should also be stated that [any other] philosophy will not work either. You cannot force morality upon people--morality must come from within.

Islam is incompatible with America's founding principles
Islam is Incompatible with America's Foundation: Our Founding Fathers gave us a nation firmly established upon Judeo-Christian principles. This condition alone describes the major problem with any discussion of Islam and the American way of life. In
fact, the system of government the Founders designed would not succeed in any other environment than Christian. If America continues to 'flirt' with the erroneous effort toward leniency with Islam, she will eventually fall with no capacity to rise again.
We are already dangerously close. Islam's mindset is not one of tolerance with America, but control and dominance. There is no room for merging two opposing philosophies. The ground on which the ideological war is being fought is worldview.
Saturating the soil of these foundational beliefs and values rests the blood of untold soldiers over centuries past. They died, not merely for 'freedom,' but for our distinctive Christian society.
