Dwight D. Eisenhower

Ansichten

Eisenhower sagte am 22.12.1952, dass die Idee der Gleichheit aller Menschen essentiell für die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sei:

"And this is how they [the Founding Fathers in 1776] explained those: 'we hold that all men are endowed by their Creator...' not by the accident of their birth, not by the color of their skins or by anything else, but 'all men are endowed by their Creator'. In other words, our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don't care what it is. Of course, it is the Judeo-Christian concept, but it must be a religion with all men being created equal."
