"Well,
I think it’s pretty clear in the original document, the Declaration
of Independence of the Founding Fathers, that we are endowed
by our Creator certain inalienable rights which are the rights
of liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. And I think what
every listener needs to understand is that in the minds of Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the people who wrote
that document, they literally meant that your rights come from
God, that you then loan them to the government, which is why
the Declaration of Independence begins “We the people…”. And
therefore if we drive God out of the public square we drive
out the source of our own rights and our own source of power."
