Raise your hand

if you want to know what this country was founded on. What drove our Founding Fathers to what they did for us.

I quote from John Adams by David McCullough:

"One day, as [Adams] and Benjamin Rush sat together in Congress, Rush asked Adams in a whisper if he thought America would succeed in the struggle. 'Yes,' Adams replied, 'if we fear God and repent our sins.'"

Marvelous. It gives me tingles.
