The Founding Fathers did not believe the primary purpose of their guns was to hunt ducks, but to keep the government in line within the bounds of the Constitution. The Founding Fathers said that armed citizens are a bulwark against a tyrant in the White House.

John Coleman

The Constitution they wrote was designed to protect the rights of white, male citizens. As there were no black Founding Fathers, there were no founding mothers - a great pity, on both counts. It is not too late to complete the work they left undone. Today, here, we should start to do so.

Shirley Chisholm

You want to reclaim your country? You got to go back to the first men who started this country, the founding fathers and this is going to be shocking for the liberal professors out there that are indoctrinating our kids but the founding fathers believed in the Judeo-Christian god that believed we have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! You can pursuit it. If you don't get it, it's your fault! You messed up. Go back to work. Work harder.

The Founding Fathers believed that our Creator gave us certain inalienable rights. The Pledge of Allegiance simply reinforces the beliefs that led to the birth of our great nation. It is an oath of our fidelity to our country, and I am disappointed that the [9th Circuit] Court chose to rule against this American treasure.

This is the gay agenda: equality. Not special rights, but the rights that are already written by [our Founding Fathers].

LZ Granderson

I think our founding fathers believed in nullification. There's no doubt about that.

Matthew Whitaker

Thomas Jefferson understood the greater purpose of the liberty that our Founding Fathers sought during the creation of our Nation. Although it was against the British that the colonists fought for political rights, the true source of the rights of man was clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson wrote that all humans are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . . It was self-evident to him that denying these rights was wrong and that he and others must struggle to win what was theirs.

William J. Clinton

Our Founding Fathers drafted the Bill of Rights to ensure that We the People could determine how best to protect our communities.

Mike Quigley

The Founding Fathers believed that faith in God was the key to our being a good people and America's becoming a great nation.

Ronald Reagan

The Founding Fathers believed devoutly that there was a God and that the unalienable rights of man were rooted - not in the state, nor the legislature, nor in any other human power - but in God alone.

Tom C. Clark

When our founding fathers drafted the Constitution and Bill of Rights, black people weren't even considered human.

Claudette Colvin

Inequality was written into the creation of the American Republic when our Founding Fathers denied voting rights to women.

Stephanie Coontz

The notion of a world government to defend our rights would have sent the founding fathers running for their muskets.

Pat Buchanan

The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs.
