"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

Pelosi calls for mosque opposition funding investigation but not for funding of mosque itself?

"There is no question that there's a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some," Pelosi told San Francisco-based radio station KCBS. "I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded."


She continued, "How is this being ginned up that we are here talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community, as we go forward to an election about the future of our country, and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City?"


New York's Twin Towers may have taken the hit for America, but the hit was meant as hatred toward all of us in America. Yet, Pelosi calls it a local issue: "I think everyone respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property," she said. "The decision, though, as to how to go forward in New York is up to New York."
