The American Founders believed that the principles of the Declaration and the Constitution were not simply preferences for their own day, but were truths that the sovereign and moral people of America could always rely on as guides in their pursuit of happiness. This course considers the principles of the American Founding-which are described most famously and concisely in the Declaration of Independence-as well as key features of American government based on those principles. Led by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn, the course also examines the major challenges posed by Progressivism to American constitutionalism.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

There is an amazing amount of consent in this headlong rush toward tyranny. First, a couple of generations had to be propagandized in our public schools. These generations were to be largely uneducated in history and critical thinking, morally bereft, and fundamentally cowards willing to consent to manipulation because they cannot discern right from wrong. (The lyrics of "He Plays the Game" by Mark Heard sum this up as, "Right is what he thinks he does for others. Wrong is what he thinks they do to him.")

25 important questions related to our reality: 1.If there is a pandemic why we don't hear constant ambulance sirens during the day and night? 2.If there is a pandemic why undertakers say business is under normal or less than usual? 3.If there is a pandemic why we don't see endless queues at the cemeteries or crematories? 4.If there is a pandemic why the statistics saying the death rate was in the normal parameters in the last year? 5.If there is a pandemic why the normal influenza deaths nearly disappeared? 6.If there is a pandemic why if the 1st lockdown worked why we do it again? 7.If there is a pandemic why if the 1st lockdown didn't work why we do the same thing again? Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 8.If there is a pandemic why the government listens only to their own very small panel of experts and refuses listening to the vast majority of doctors, nurses and health experts? 9.If there is a pandemic why do we see scenes of pandemonium in TV in hospitals when in reality hospitals are nearly empty? 10.If there is a pandemic why thousands of nurses are out of work? 11.If there is a pandemic and started in 2019 how did all of the governments around the world ordered and delivered CONvid-1984 PCR tests kits the year before in 2018? 12.If there is a pandemic and used and discarded masks could be highly contagious then why do we see thousands of them littering the streets in country side? 13.If there is a pandemic (global) why the rules and regulations differ greatly from city to city and country to country? 14.If there is a pandemic and CONvid-1984 does not affect children why the schools are closed? 15.If there is a pandemic and masks work why didn't we use them each year for the flu? 16.If there is a pandemic why we have never seen people killed and dying on the streets by CONvid-1984? 17.If there is a pandemic and we should avoid crowd of people why the supermarkets which can hold hundreds of people are open and your corner shop which can fit 3 people have to be closed? 18.If there is a pandemic why is the government calling positive PCT test cases and not just positive result? 19.If there is a pandemic why has the BBC and all other media including CNN fail to tell you that WHO has published the update saying PCR tests are unreliable and should not be used? 20.If there is a pandemic if the cough or sneeze droplets can carry out up to 30 feet why we are social distancing only 6 feet? 21.If there is a pandemic why are you ok with rubbing poison into your skin 10 times a day (cleaning hands with chemicals)? 22.If there is a pandemic why do we need experimental DNA changing "vaccine" for a virus with 99.97% recovery rate? 23.If there is a pandemic and vaccine works you can still catch and transmit disease after you get the vaccine? 24.If there is a pandemic and you had your vaccine jab why do you need still wear mask and social distance? 25.If there is a pandemic answer a question yourself: how many people you personally know who have died from CONvid-1984 and then compare that number with how many people you know who had vaccine damaged family members?

There are three phrases in the Declaration of Independence that are so misinterpreted! “Creator” and “The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” and “Devine Providence”. Undeniably these are reflections of the individual inherent natural unalienable right of “conscience”. Nowhere in the Declaration is there any appellation to the Christian god! It is to a deity as the individual interprets according to their “right of conscience”. That the founders were Christians is unequivocal, however, they were all of different sects, each with their own interpretation of what their dirty was/is. Quakers, Catholics, Baptists, Anglicans, Lutherans, etc. all had their own interpretation of “god”. Jefferson himself was an agnostic which in the context of his time was a sin so he had to “play the game” of those around him lest he be prosecuted and persecuted. You must remember that forced religion was mandated by Colonial Charter of each British colony in America which entailed mandated participation. The American colonies were founded on religious persecution, a fact most people are ignorant of today.

@ruthnovena40 3 жыл бұрын

The persecution for some may be freedom foe others. The reason Pilgrims left England was to be able to practice their faith. Jefferson had a bible . He is the one responsible for our right of religion. He did not want the state (fed.) setting up a state religion. At the time some mis took this to mean no religion.. After some time Jefferson, wrote his own bible, He believed that the message of Jesus had been lost . He called himself a Christian.

@richardkramer1094 3 жыл бұрын

@@ruthnovena40 The Pilgrims left England to escape religious persecution, however, they sold their souls to the company who financed the voyage. That company set the religion for those on the voyage. They went from religious persecution to religious persecution. There were colonies long established on American soil before the pilgrims arrived in 1622. I am descendant of those on the Mayflower as well as those who came before. You must read Jefferson’s own words to have an understanding of Thomas Jefferson…I have. Yes, he wrote his own Bible but have you ever read it?

Christian orgnanizations at Hillsdale are big-time oath-takers? My Bible says, "Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." (Matthew 5:33-37) and "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation." (James 5:12)
