I found some good quotes from men I consider patriots of our American civilization. Her is one from James Madison, the architect of our Constitution--a statement that Newdow would light up like Dracula would upon seeing a crucifix:
"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to government ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." - 1778, to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia
