From the Mouth/Pen of a Founding Father

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

~ Thomas Jefferson

Does this make anyone feel any better about the religious mob that voted for Prop. 8?

(For those of you who might wonder, that question is meant to be rhetorical, sarcastic. It's impossible to feel any better about Prop. 8.)

I'm also working on collecting quotes from the Founding Fathers that express their distaste for religion, namely Christianity, in an effort to discredit the argument that this was meant to be a Christian nation. They did after all insist on separation of church and state! More to come...

Please send along any quotes you have pertaining to this topic. Thanks!
