On America's 250th birthday today, it is imperative to remember that the United States was originally a Judeo-Christian country, not just a Christian one.
"There’s something treacherous, gross even, about Americans who hate America or are ashamed of it." For me that says it all about those Americans who reflexively hate their own country. As I say often these people speak like communists on the barricades but want to live like free-market capitalists. If this country is so vile and evil then pick another country.
Thank you & your Family’s contribution, dedication, & service to the USA. I appreciated the history lesson of Jewish involvement in the founding of our nation. Maybe one day the antisemite/anti Israel people will understand that the G-d of Israel is in control of everything & everyone. Maybe someday they will come to realize that the Jewish people have been chosen by G-d to spread light upon darkness in the world. Maybe then we can look forward to tolerance, understanding, & peace for everyone. Maybe Moshiach can help facilitate this process. Let’s hope he comes soon! Tomorrow would be fine with me. Happy birthday USA 🇺🇸 🦁
I very much appreciate the helpful history of Jewish contribution. Our contributions are too often left out, or otherwise dismissed.
However, we are not a Judeo-Christian country, either. We used Judeo-Christian values to establish and clarify our own. But we were founded as a country with religious freedom. For all. In fact, the only mention of anything related to "God" are references to "Nature's God," "the Supreme Judge of the world," and "the protection of divine Providence."
I personally think it's just as dangerous to say we are a Judeo-Christian country as it is to say we are a Christian country. Both imply we are a country based on religion both exclude others

Thank you for considering this.
Let’s also remember that The Lord Jesus is a Jew! His love and kindness is an example for all!
