The First Thanksgiving

Speaking of Freedom, can you imagine our President today giving a Thanksgiving Proclamation that mentions “Almighty God” twice, describes him as “the great Lord and Ruler of Nations,” and calls for prayer and confession of “national sins”? Ya, me either!

A few years ago, however, things were a bit different. Freedom of Speech held more clarity, and people of all faiths (or none) gave respect to one another and their various beliefs. Below is a Thanksgiving Declaration thanking God for the ability to put together our state and national Constitutions in relative peace.

There are numerous evidences our Founding Fathers, though they did not agree on the definition of God or His “intervention” in daily human life, agreed on the existence of a beneficent, providential and sovereign God. They understood and gave credence to His Creative authority as the Source of our unalienable rights. Try as some may, history cannot be rewritten.

General Thanksgiving

By the PRESIDENT of the United States Of America
A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”

NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; — for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish Constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; — for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; — and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also, that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; — to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us); and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

GIVEN under my hand, at the city of New-York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

(signed) G. Washington

A Proclamation Signed in Script Type by George Washington
Appearing in The Massachusetts Centinel of October 14, 1789

    The Sharon Statement: 12 Timely Statements on Conservatism – 1960 and 2012!

    The Sharon Statement, William F. Buckley

    The Sharon Statement

    M. Stanton Evans

    1960

    Written by M. Stanton Evans with the assistance of Annette Kirk, wife of Russell Kirk, and adopted on September 11, 1960, the statement is named for the location of the inaugural meeting of Young Americans for Freedom, held at William F. Buckley, Jr.’s home in Sharon, Connecticut.

    In this time of moral and political crises, it is the responsibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths.

    We, as young conservatives, believe:

    • That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual’s use of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of arbitrary force;
    • That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom;
    • That the purpose of government is to protect those freedoms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the administration of justice;
    • That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions, it accumulates power, which tends to diminish order and liberty;
    • That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power;
    • That the genius of the Constitution – the division of powers – is summed up in the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal government;
    • That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand, is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of personal freedom and constitutional government, and that it is at the same time the most productive supplier of human needs;
    • That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation; that when it takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the integrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both;
    • That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of the United States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies;
    • That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties;
    • That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistance with, this menace; and
    • That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States?

    If we, as Americans, fail to appreciate our personal freedoms, it will not be surprising to see our liberties vanish, as we sit back in our mock security!
