Damn, I forgot that one, I guess it's old age - thanks :) :) :)

A couple more:

President Herbert Hoover:
"We must seek revival of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the sacredness of every human life. On the religious side, its highest enlightenment is the Bible; on the political side, the Constitution."

Daniel Webster:
"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it."

General Colin Powell, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
"We must not forget the past. We must not forget those who sacrificed, but we must also remember the reason for their sacrifice. They died so tyranny would die. They died to create a better world for those of us who followed them. Their sacrifice was not in vain."

Colonel Oliver North
"Freedom. Our forefathers gave their lives for it. And the Constitution ensures it. But today, some believe that freedom should be restricted. Our First Amendment rights are under attack-from the Pledge of Allegiance to our right to pray in the public square. So, what does the Constitution guarantee us? The freedom to gather with our family, our friends and our communities. The freedom to worship-not restricted by laws or regulations. But, most of all, our right to free speech grants us the freedom to pray. For more than two centuries, the American cry has been "Let freedom ring!" It cannot be silenced by vague rhetoric or judicial tyranny. It cannot be silenced by talk of political correctness or intolerance. It CANNOT be silenced. Freedom. It is our most basic right. No one can take that away from us. America needs your prayers-now more than ever."
