Reader comments about this quote:
For those that have eyes to see, we hold this truth to be self evident. A grave question here raises its all encompassing head? WHAT is the focus, what is it that Madison would have America united on? Today, how many American's can even accurately define what "the laws of nature and of nature's God" are or what individual sovereignty, inalienable rights or liberty even mean  let alone unite around. To unite around the current philosophies of men (immorality, legal positivism and demonic religion) means an exhibition of a most forbidding posture of disunity and destruction.
