DR. ALAN KEYES — I am sending you this Thanksgiving message with a prayer that your day be filled with the joy of faith and family. But I am also sending a national alarm. Unlike ever before in this great nation's history, our ability to freely, publicly profess our faith and Thank God for His blessings is under grave repression by our own government, and Americans must prayerfully gird themselves to face a tumultuous New Year...

BILL FEDERER — After the victory of the battle of Saratoga during the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress proclaimed the first national day of Thanksgiving, Nov. 1, 1777: "The grateful feelings of their hearts...join the penitent confession of their manifold sins...that it may please God, through the merits of Jesus Christ, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of remembrance...and...under the providence of Almighty God...secure for these United States the greatest of all human blessings, independence and peace."...

MONICA CROWLEY — There are two particularly quintessentially American holidays: Independence Day, when we celebrate our declaration of independence from the British, which began the most successful experiment in human liberty. And Thanksgiving, when we offer appreciation for the wondrous blessings in our individual lives and in the life of the nation.

JOSEPH FARAH — "When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing -- they believe in anything." That's what G.K. Chesterton told us, and it's true. Because so many of us no longer believe in the God of the Bible, we no longer have any standard for truth. Some even dispute whether there is such a thing as truth. That's how crazy it can get....

They perfectly reflect seven years of Obama-administration policy aimed at eroding the First Amendment in order to accommodate Islamic blasphemy standards.... (more)
