... the moral equal of our Founding Fathers  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) And truly, when you look at the Constitution and our founding fathers and their writings, the things that made this country great, you might draw those conclusions: That they were conservative. They were fiscally conservative and socially conservative  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) I was musically baptized by the black founding fathers of rock-and-roll, and like all real music lovers, the music changed, enriched, upgraded and fortified our lives forever.  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) The ideas of ancient Greece helped inspire America’s founding fathers as they reached for democracy. Our revolutionary ideas helped inspire Greeks as they sought their own freedom.  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Throughout American history our presidents have invoked our nation’s founding fathers. This is particularly true of recent presidents.  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Our country was founded on a distrust of government.

Certainly not the kind our Founding Fathers intended. We live in a corporate dictatorship represented by, and beholden to, no single human being you can reason with or hold responsible for anything  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Have you seen the Olympic uniforms? It’s for the American Olympic team and it’s berets. To me, nothing says America like a guy in a beret.

Not special rights, but the rights that are already written by [our Founding Fathers]  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) The one thing our Founding Fathers could not foresee - they were farmers, professional men, businessmen giving of their time and effort to an idea that became a country - was a nation governed by professional politicians who had an interest in getting re-elected. They probably envisioned a fellow serving a couple of hitches and then eagerly looking forward to getting back to the farm  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) When our Founding Fathers passed the First Amendment, they sought to protect churches from government interference. They never intended to construct a wall of hostility between government and the concept of religious belief itself  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) I’m a Progressive. Much in the same way our founding fathers - who, oddly enough, wouldn’t get elected today - were Progressives  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Hey, our Founding Fathers wore long hair and powdered wigs - I don’t see anybody trying to look like them today, either... But we do look to them as role models  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Congress is functioning the way the Founding Fathers intended-not very well. They understood that if you move too quickly, our democracy will be less responsible to the majority  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Second, marriage is an issue that our Founding Fathers wisely left to the states  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Coercion by government, the main fear of our founding fathers, is now its most common attribute  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) ...Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our founding fathers, they were believers. And George Washington, he saw faith in God as basic to life  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Two hundred years ago, our Founding Fathers gave us a democracy. It was based upon the simple, yet noble, idea that government derives its validity from the consent of the governed  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) The best way to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) For the freedoms our founding fathers not only dreamed about, but made into reality. It is that same pursuit of freedom today that is helping to make our world a safer place  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) The problem is that democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism, which is inherently incompatible with real freedom. Our founding fathers clearly understood this  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) It’s the way our founding fathers would have wanted it, if they had founded corporations instead of just a country  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Isn’t it somewhat remarkable that we can go back a a few hundred years and find no shortage of quotations from our founding fathers warning us against the dangers of democracy, yet today teachers and politicians use the word as if it were an offering of gold  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes) Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times  (Our Founding Fathers Quotes)
