    Benjamin Franklin's Request for Prayers at the Constitutional Convention

    Benjamin Franklin

    July 28, 1787

    The Constitutional Convention had been meeting for five weeks, and had hit a perilous deadlock. The large states were insisting that congressional representation be based on population; the smaller states wanted a one-state-one-vote rule. The entire effort to create a stronger union was in jeopardy. Eighty-one-year-old Benjamin Franklin, quiet during most of the deliberations, then addressed the group. According to James Madison's notes, here is what happened next.

    Mr. President

    The small progress we have made after 4 or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other-our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.

    In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.- Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor.

    I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth- that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?

    To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth- that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.

    I therefore beg leave to move-that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service-

    Mr. SHARMAN seconded the motion.

    Mr. HAMILTON & several others expressed their apprehensions that however proper such a resolution might have been at the beginning of the convention, it might at this late day, I. bring on it some disagreeable animadversions. & 2. lead the public to believe that the embarrassments and dissensions within the Convention, had suggested this measure. It was answered by Docr. F. Mr. SHERMAN & others, that the past omission of a duty could not justify a further omission-that the rejection of such a proposition would expose the Convention to more unpleasant animadversions than the adoption of it: and that the alarm out of doors that might be excited for the state of things within, would at least be as likely to do good as ill.

    Mr. WILLIAMSON, observed that the true cause of the omission could not be mistaken. The Convention had no funds.

    Mr. RANDOLPH proposed in order to give a favorable aspect to ye. measure, that a sermon be preached at the request of the convention on 4th of July, the anniversary of Independence; & thenceforward prayers be used in ye. Convention every morning. Dr. FRANKn. 2nded. this motion After several unsuccessful attempts for silently postponing the matter by adjourng. the adjournment was at length carried, without any vote on the motion.

    My Thoughts exactly, Let us pray.

  17. Obama: What has he done?

    Obama Will Triumph -- So Will America

    By Frank Schaeffer

    Before he'd served even one year President Obama lost the support

    of the easily distracted left and engendered the white hot rage of

    the hate-filled right. But some of us, from all walks of life and

    ideological backgrounds -- including this white, straight, 57-year-

    old, former religious right wing agitator, now progressive writer

    and (given my background as the son of a famous evangelical leader)

    this unlikely Obama supporter -- are sticking with our President.

    Why?-- because he is succeeding.

    We faithful Obama supporters still trust our initial impression of

    OMG yove got to be kidding me.

    him as a great, good and uniquely qualified man to lead us.

    Obama's steady supporters will be proved right. Obama's critics

    will be remembered as easily panicked and prematurely discouraged

    at best and shriveled hate mongers at worst.

    The Context of the Obama Presidency

    Not since the days of the rise of fascism in Europe , the Second

    World War and the Depression has any president faced more

    adversity. Not since the Civil War has any president led a more

    bitterly divided country. Not since the introduction of racial

    integration has any president faced a more consistently short-

    sighted and willfully ignorant opposition - from both the right

    and left.

    As the President's poll numbers have fallen so has his support from

    some on the left that were hailing him as a Messiah not long ago;

    all those lefty websites and commentators that were falling all

    over themselves on behalf of our first black president during the

    2008 election.

    The left's lack of faith has become a self-fulfilling "prophecy"--

    snipe at the President and then watch the poll numbers fall and

    then pretend you didn't have anything to do with it!

    Here is what Obama faced when he took office-- none of which was

    his fault:

    # An ideologically divided country to the point that America was

    really two countries

    # Two wars; one that was mishandled from the start, the other that

    was unnecessary and immoral

    # The worst economic crisis since the depression

    # America 's standing in the world at the lowest point in history

    # A country that had been misled into accepting the use of torture

    of prisoners of war

    # A health care system in free fall

    # An educational system in free fall

    # A global environmental crisis of history-altering proportions

    (about which the Bush administration and the Republicans had done

    nothing)

    # An impasse between culture warriors from the right and left

    # A huge financial deficit inherited from the terminally

    irresponsible Bush administration.

    And those were only some of the problems sitting on the

    President's desk!

    "Help" from the Right?

    What did the Republicans and the religious right, libertarians and

    half-baked conspiracy theorists -- that is what the Republicans

    were reduced to by the time Obama took office -- do to "help" our

    new president (and our country) succeed? They claimed that he

    wasn't a real American, didn't have an American birth certificate,

    wasn't born here, was secretly a Muslim, was white-hating "racist",

    was secretly a communist, was actually the Anti-Christ, (!) and was

    a reincarnation of Hitler and wanted "death panels" to kill the

    elderly!

    They not-so-subtly called for his assassination through the not-so-

    subtle use of vile signs held at their rallies and even a bumper

    sticker quoting Psalm 109:8. They organized "tea parties" to sound

    off against imagined insults and all government in general and

    gathered to howl at the moon. They were led by insurance industry

    lobbyists and deranged (but well financed) "commentators" from

    Glenn Beck to Rush Limbaugh.

    The utterly discredited Roman Catholic bishops teamed up with the

    utterly discredited evangelical leaders to denounce a president who

    was trying to actually do something about the poor, the

    environment, to diminish the number of abortions through

    compassionate programs to help women and to care for the sick! And

    in Congress the Republican leadership only knew one word: "No!"

    In other words the reactionary white, rube, uneducated, crazy

    American far right,combined with the educated but obtuse

    neoconservative war mongers, religious right shills for big

    business, libertarian Fed Reserve-hating gold bug, gun-loving

    crazies, child-molesting acquiescent "bishops", frontier loons and

    evangelical ***-hating flakes found one thing to briefly unite

    them: their desire to stop an uppity black man from succeeding at

    all costs!

    "Help" from the Left?

    What did the left do to help their newly elected president? Some of

    them excoriated the President because they disagreed with the bad

    choices he was being forced to make regarding a war in Afghanistan

    that he'd inherited from the worst president in modern history!

    Others stood up and bravely proclaimed that the President's

    economic policies had "failed" before the President even instituted

    them! Others said that since all *** rights battles had not been

    fully won within virtually minutes of the President taking office,

    they'd been "betrayed"! (Never mind that Obama's vocal support to

    the *** community is stronger than any other president's has been.

    Never mind that he signed a new hate crimes law!)

    Those that had stood in transfixed legions weeping with beatific

    emotion on election night turned into an angry mob saying how

    "disappointed" they were that they'd not all immediately been

    translated to heaven the moment Obama stepped into the White House!

    Where was the "change"? Contrary to their expectations they were

    still mere mortals!

    And the legion of young new supporters was too busy texting to pay

    attention for longer than a nanosecond. "Governing"?! What the hell

    does that word, uh, like mean?"

    The President's critics left and right all had one thing in common:

    impatience laced with little-to-no sense of history (let alone

    reality) thrown in for good measure. Then of course there were the

    white, snide know-it-all commentators/talking heads who just

    couldn't imagine that maybe, just maybe they weren't as smart as

    they thought they were and certainly not as smart as their

    president. He hadn't consulted them, had he? So he must be wrong!

    The Obama critics' ideological ideas defined their idea of reality

    rather than reality defining their ideas-say, about what is

    possible in one year in office after the hand that the President

    had been dealt by fate, or to be exact by the American idiot nation

    that voted Bush into office. twice!

    Meanwhile back in the reality-based community - in just 12 short

    months -- President Obama:

    #Continued to draw down the misbegotten war in Iraq

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Thoughtfully and decisively picked the best of several bad choices

    regarding the war in Afghanistan

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Gave a major precedent-setting speech supporting *** rights

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Restored America 's image around the globe

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Banned torture of American prisoners

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Stopped the free fall of the American economy

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Put the USA squarely back in the bilateral international community

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Put the USA squarely into the middle of the international effort

    to halt global warming

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Stood up for educational reform

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Won a Nobel peace prize

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Moved the trial of terrorists back into the American judicial

    system of checks and balances

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Did what had to be done to start the slow, torturous and almost

    impossible process of health care reform that 7 presidents had

    failed to even begin

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Responded to hatred from the right and left with measured good

    humor and patience

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Stopped the free fall of job losses

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Showed immense personal courage in the face of an armed and

    dangerous far right opposition that included the sort of disgusting

    people that show up at public meetings carrying loaded weapons and

    carrying Timothy McVeigh-inspired signs about the "blood of

    tyrants" needing to "water the tree of liberty".

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    #Showed that he could not only make the tough military choices but

    explain and defend them brilliantly

    (But that wasn't good enough for his critics)

    Other than those "disappointing" accomplishments -- IN ONE YEAR --

    President Obama "failed"! Other than that he didn't "live up to

    expectations"!

    Who actually has failed...

    ...are the Americans that can't see the beginning of a miracle of

    national rebirth right under their jaded noses. Who failed are the

    smart ass ideologues of the left and right who began rooting for

    this President to fail so that they could be proved right in their

    dire and morbid predictions. Who failed are the movers and shakers

    behind our obscenely dumb news cycles that have turned "news" into

    just more stupid entertainment for an entertainment-besotted

    infantile country.

    Here's the good news: President Obama is succeeding without the

    help of his lefty "supporters" or hate-filled Republican detractors!

    The Future Looks Good

    After Obama has served two full terms, (and he will), after his

    wisdom in moving deliberately and cautiously with great subtlety on

    all fronts -- with a canny and calculating eye to the possible

    succeeds, (it will), after the economy is booming and new industries

    are burgeoning, (they will be), after the doomsayers are all proved

    not just wrong but silly: let the record show that not all

    Americans were panicked into thinking the sky was falling.

    Just because we didn't get everything we wanted in the first short

    and fraught year Obama was in office not all of us gave up. Some of

    us stayed the course. And we will be proved right.

  20. ALLAWI REVEALS RI/RV DATE!

    in Dinar Rumors

    Posted

    COULD WE FINALLY HAVE THE DATE? When I read this paragraph below it made me think. Did Allawi give us the Date of October 31st? he states next month which would put us at the 16th of October, then 15 more days, which brings us to the 31st. This would be a Sunday, good for RV, and just 2 Days before Election. Allawi just in a article Today said November, then this Article kinda leans that way! Just thinking! Am I way off base here?

    Predicted Shammari to see the next few days failed to National Alliance because of the conflict between the coalition authority and the absence of concessions, «In this case, will be used to the constitution and mandate our list during the month to form a government, and if we fail will cost another block and slowed to 15 days, if the failure also will be used a compromise candidate or re-election.

    Where did you read this?
