Ah the Constitution was established upon the belief that the Creator gave unalienable RIGHTS that man/government could not take or give. Then there was the "Bill of Rights".

No doubts and no argument there. The founders were all religious folk and it's nice to read some of their writings to understand where they were coming from. However, in defining what federalism means in this coutnry they left us with the Constitution and the Constitution alone as the controlling document. We are not bound by the founder's particular religious beliefs, their tastes in wine, women or song or even their reasons for declaring independencee from Britain. We are only bound to protect and defend the Constitution and that is what a Conservative conserves.
