July 4th Watch: Birth of Jesus Linked to Birth of America?

By Rick Pearcey • June 24, 2009, 01:13 PM

Of course not, one might feel, if you simply take for granted Barack Obama's recent factually challenged attacks on the Christian heritage and founding of the United States.

Then, again, free-thinking, open-minded Americans may appreciate the following July 4th corrective to the record by John Quincy Adams, who served as the sixth president of the United States:

Why is it that, next to the birth day of the Savior of the World, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? . . . Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the corner stone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?
