Miller Delivers Floor Speech on 'Deficit of Decency' in America
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) today delivered=20
the following statement on the floor of the United States Senate=20
addressing=20
several social issues facing the country:
"The Old Testament prophet Amos was a sheep herder who lived back in
the Judean hills, away from the larger cities of Bethlehem and=20
Jerusalem.
Compared to the intellectual urbanites like Isaiah and Jeremiah, he=20
was
just an unsophisticated country hick.
"But Amos had a unique grasp of political and social issues and his=20
poetic
literary skill was among the best of all the prophets. That familiar =
quote
of Martin Luther King, Jr. about 'Justice will rush down like waters =
and
righteousness like a mighty stream' are Amos's words.
"Amos was the first to propose the concept of a univ! ersal God and =
not=20
just
some tribal deity. He also wrote that God demanded moral purity, not =
rituals=20
and sacrifices. This blunt speaking moral conscience of his time
warns in Chapter 8, verse 11 of The Book of Amos, as if he were=20
speaking
to us today:
That 'the days will come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a
famine in the land. Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, =
but=20
of
hearing the word of the Lord.
'And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to =
the
east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and =
shall=20
not
find it.'
'A famine in the land'. Has anyone more accurately described the=20
situation
we face in America today? 'A famine of hearing the words of the =
Lord.'
"But some will say, Amos was just an Old Testament prophet - a minor
one at that - who lived 700 years before Christ. That is true, so =
how=20
about
one of the most influential historians of modern times?
"Arnold Toynbee who wrote the acclaimed 12 volume A Study of =
History,=20
once
declared, 'Of the 22 civilizations that have appeared in history, 19 =
of
them collapsed when they reached the moral state America is in =
today.'
"Toynbee died in 1975, before seeing the worst that was yet to come. =
Yes,
Arnold Toynbee saw the famine. The 'famine of hearing the words of =
the
Lord.' Whether it is removing a display of the Ten Commandments from =
a=20
Courthouse or the Nativity Scene from a city square. Whether it is
eliminating prayer in schools or eliminating 'under God' in the =
Pledge=20
of
Allegiance. Whether it is making a mockery of the sacred institution =
of
marriage between a man and woman or, yes, telecasting around the =
world
made-in-the-USA filth masquerading as entertainment.
"The Culture of Far Left America was displayed in a startling way=20
during
the Super Bowl's now infamous half-time show. A show br! ought to us
courtesy of Value-Les Moonves and the pagan temple of =
Viacom-Babylon.
"I asked the question yesterday, how many of you have ever run over=20
skunk
with your car? I have many times and I can tell you, the stink stays =
around for a long time. You can take the car through a car wash and =
it's
still there. So the scent of this event will long linger in the=20
nostrils of
America.
"I'm not talking just about an exposed mammary gland with a pull-tab
attached to it. Really no one should have been too surprised at =
that.
Wouldn't one expect a bumping, humping, trashy routine entitled 'I'm =
going
to get you naked' to end that way.
"Does any responsible adult ever listen to the words of this =
rap-crap?=20
I'd
quote you some of it, but the Sergeant of Arms would throw me out of =
here,
as well he should. And then there was that prancing, dancing,=20
strutting,
rutting guy evidently suffering from jock itch because he k! ept =
yelling=20
and
grabbing his crotch. But then, maybe there's a crotch grabbing =
culture
I've unaware of.
"But as bad as all this was, the thing that yanked my chain the=20
hardest
was seeing that ignoramus with his pointed head stuck up through a =
hole=20
he
had cut in the flag of the United States of America, screaming about =
having 'a bottle of scotch and watching lots of crotch.' Think about =
that.
"This is the same flag that we pledge allegiance to. This is the =
flag
that is draped over coffins of dead young uniformed warriors killed=20
while
protecting Kid Crock's bony butt. He should be tarred and feathered,
and ridden out of this country on a rail. Talk about a good reality=20
show,
there's one for you.
"The desire and will of this Congress to meaningfully do anything=20
about
any of these so-called social issues is non existent and=20
embarrassingly
disgraceful. The American people are waiting and growing impatient=20
with
us.
They want something done.
"I am pleased to be a co-sponsor of S.J. Res. 26 along with Senator=20
Allard
and others, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United =
States relating to marriage. And S.1558, the Liberties Restoration =
Act,=20
which declares religious liberty rights in several ways, including =
the
Pledge of Allegiance and the display of the Ten Commandments. And =
today=20
I join Senator Shelby and others with the Constitution Restoration =
Act=20
of
2004 that limits the jurisdiction of federal courts in certain ways.
"In doing so, I stand shoulder to shoulder not only with my Senate
co-sponsors and Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama but, more=20
importantly,
with our Founding Fathers in the conception of religious liberty and =
the
terribly wrong direction our modern judiciary has taken us in.
"Everyone today seems to think that the U.S. Constitution expressly
provid! es for separation of church and state. Ask any ten people if =
that's
not so. And I'll bet you most of them will say 'Well, sure.' And =
some
will point out, 'it's in the First Amendment.'
"Wrong! Read it! It says, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'
Where is the word 'separate'? Where are the words 'church' or =
'state.'
"They are not there. Never have been. Never intended to be. Read the =
=20
Congressional Records during that four-month period in 1789 when the
amendment was being framed in Congress. Clearly their intent was to
prohibit a single denomination in exclusion of all others, whether =
it
was Anglican or Catholic or some other.
"I highly recommend a great book entitled Original Intent by David=20
Barton.
It really gets into how the actual members of Congress, who drafted=20
the
First Amendment, expected basic Biblical principles and v! alues to =
be
present throughout public life and society, not separate from it.
"It was Alexander Hamilton who pointed out that 'judges should be=20
bound
down by strict rules and precedents, which serve to define and point =
out
their duty.' Bound down! That is exactly what is needed to be done.=20
There
was not a single precedent cited when school prayer was struck down =
in
1962.
"These judges who legislate instead of adjudicate, do it without =
being
responsible to one single solitary voter for their actions. Among =
the
signers of the Declaration of Independence was a brilliant young
physician from Pennsylvania named Benjamin Rush. "When Rush was=20
elected to that First Continental Congress, his close friend =
Benjamin=20
Franklin told him 'We need you. . . we have a great task
before us, assigned to us by Providence.' Today, 228 years later =
there=20
is
still a great task before us assigned to us by Providence. Our =
Founding
Fat! hers did not shirk their duty and we can do no less.
"By the way, Benjamin Rush was once asked a question that has long
interested this Senator from Georgia in particular. Dr. Rush was
asked, are you a democrat or an aristocrat? And the good doctor=20
answered, 'I am neither'. 'I am a Christocrat. I believe He, alone, =
who=20
created and
redeemed man is qualified to govern him.' That reply of Benjamin =
Rush=20
is
just as true today in the year of our Lord 2004 as it was in the =
year
of our Lord 1776. "So, if I am asked why - with all the pressing=20
problems this nation faces today - why am I pushing these social =
issues and=20
taking the Senate's valuable time? I will answer: Because, it is of =
the=20
highest
importance. Yes, there's a deficit to be concerned about in this=20
country, a
deficit of decency.
"So, as the sand empties through my hourglass at warp speed - and =
with=20
my
time running out in this Senate and on this earth, I feel comp! =
elled to
speak out. For I truly believe that at times like this, silence is =
not
golden. It is yellow."
