Can you imagine of a conservative republican said these things in 2020?

"There is a lesson for us in the passage from the Bible ... The Book of Ezra describes the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem after the long captivity in Babylon ...

The writer describes the people shouting with a great shout when the foundation of the new temple was laid ... Some of those in the crowd, particularly the old men, did not shout. They wept ...

These were the men who remembered all the sacrifices -- all the suffering of all the people -- what their people had undergone during the captivity.

They knew that these sacrifices had not been made in vain.

They realized that, in spite of all their troubles, and in the face of overwhelming odds, their faith had prevailed. And so they were too deeply moved to shout; they wept for joy.

They gave thanks to God 'because He is good, for his mercy endureth forever.'"

"I surely wish God Almighty would give the Children of Israel an Isaiah, the Christians a St. Paul, and the Sons of Ishmael a peep at the Golden Rule."       "The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don't have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State!"     " Without a firm moral foundation, freedom degenerates quickly into selfishness"   "We believe that all men are created equal, because they are created in the image of God."       "Society is made up of men, who are often weak, and selfish, and quarrelsome. And yet, men are the children of God. Men have within them the Divine spark that can lead them to the truth, and unselfishness, and courage to do the right. Men can build a good society, if they follow the will of the Lord. Our great nation was founded on this faith. Our Constitution, and all our finest traditions, rest on a moral basis ... ... The greatest obstacle to peace is a modern tyranny led by a small group who have abandoned their faith in God."   "The essential mission of the church is to teach the moral law. We look to our churches, above all other agencies, to teach us the highest moral standards of right and wrong. We rely on the churches particularly to instill into our young people those moral ideals which are the basis of our free institutions. This great Republic is founded on a firm foundation based on those very principles ... Religion is ... a positive force ... We are under divine orders--not only to refrain from doing evil, but also to do good and to make this world a better place in which to live ..."   " Selfishness and greed can tear this Nation apart ... Our only defense against them is to follow those moral principles which have been handed down to us by our forefathers and which are enshrined today in churches such as this one ... When organized crime and vice run loose and are accepted and patronized by the people, they threaten our free institutions and debase our national life. These evils are clearly moral issues and our religious beliefs command us to fight against them ... We are defending the right to worship God -- each as he sees fit according to his own conscience. We are defending the right to follow the precepts and the example which God has set for us ..."   " The international Communist movement is based on a fierce and terrible fanaticism. It denies the existence of God and, wherever it can, it stamps out the worship of God. Our religious faith gives us the answer to the false beliefs of communism. Our faith shows us the way to create a society where man can find his greatest happiness under God ... I have the feeling that God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose. And up to now we have been shirking it."
