Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and I guess this happens to be one of those times.
You meant it sarcastically, but you are indeed accurate. Now let's see if you can figure out why.

That's quite the statement. All of the founding fathers were Protestants of some sort. Some were heavily influenced by deism. Most were not. It was a range of influence as well. The Declaration of Independence wouldn't look like it does if most were deists.
To get things passes and get people on board sometimes you need to fake it a little or read the room and the crowd to get things going. I am sure that's what happened in the 1780's just like today. I am sure that if they somehow did not invoke God in some way our new republic would have evaporated. Some people come across as uber religious just to get votes or get elected. Some say they are Jew-ish , some say they are for one thing or another and they are not. But in reality, who knows for sure? Who knows what they really thought.
Why the backtracking? You said they were deists. Now you're saying someone else said it? Who said it?
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
I want to run through a wall right now. WVU sports sure isn't doing that for me lately.
Thanks for the grammar correction. If only you weren’t too cowardly to address the substance of what I posted.

More executive denying the oversight authority of legislative. The deep state won't let go at all.

We shouldn't be sending tanks to Ukraine.
They belong on our southern border, where America is being invaded.

Did you just call Jesus an idiot again?
We shouldn't be sending anything to Ukraine. Had you bleaters not elected Pedo-Joe, there wouldn't be a war going on to begin with.
I agree we shouldn't have to send Ukraine money..... what is happening in Ukraine is what happens when a Democrat wants to disarm you and promise you protection.... but if we must send them money to protect their borders instead of ours they should at least show where every nickel gets spent .
