1791 - The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution (the Bill of Rights) went into effect following ratification by Virginia.

So much anguish went into guaranteeing these right, yet the politicians of today want to deny or pervert the value of many...Particularly the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th Amendments.

1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

What part of this speaks of 'separation of church and state?' The Founding Fathers surely had no intention of such foolishness...This is a modern concept, created simply for the sake of destroying religion (or more to the point, destroying moral codes of any kind).

Also, the Left is well on its way towards destroying 'freedom of speech,' by insisting that only the speech they approve of should be free...A true tyranny of the language, defined as 'Political Correctness.'

2nd Amendment: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

What part of that says the government can deny people arms/guns? The Founding Fathers knew the dangers of an unarmed citizenry. Specifically, the danger of an unarmed citizenry against an all-powerful government.

4th Amendment:  The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Ya, this is a complete farce.  We are under constant surveillance, in every way possible, and our government has no intention of ever changing this fact.

10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

This one is the saddest joke of them all, as modern-day Liberals have hijacked the concept of 'leave it to the states' or 'leave it to the people,' and taken it to mean 'leave it to the judges' - Liberal judges that is.

1938 - The U.S. sent its fourth note to Berlin demanding amnesty for Jews:  WWII.

I’m sure Hitler was shaken by this 'fourth note'...The other three didn’t scare him, but this fourth one must have really made him nervous.

This is exactly why you do not negotiate with insane dictators with territorial ambitions.

It's a good thing we have the U.N. to take care of these problem now, however...HAHAHAHAHA.

1945 - General Douglas MacArthur, in his capacity as Supreme Commander of Allied Powers in the Pacific, brought an end to Shintoism as Japan's established religion. The Shinto system included the belief that the emperor, in this case Hirohito, was divine.

MacArthur is one of my favorite individuals in American History, and it was events like this one which set him aside from the modern fools we have running our country...There is no way we would do the same now.

In the end Islam will cost more lives than Shintoism, but no one will ever have the balls to ban Islam - not that it would be possible...Though it would be a great idea.

1973 - The American Psychiatric Association reversed its long-standing position and declared homosexuality is not a mental illness.

I agree 100%...It is behavioral, not a mental illness.

And I'm not saying it's necessarily 'bad behavior.'  I'm just saying it it behavioral.

2001 - With a crash and a large dust cloud, a 50-foot tall section of steel, the last standing piece of the World Trade Center's facade, was brought down in New York.

I have six words for this event: NEVER FORGET! NEVER FORGIVE! NEVER AGAIN!
