Some consider the Nation’s Capital as “Fantasyland on the Potomac”. Other outsiders are “Fed Up” with the Federal City. It's better to consider D.C. as “the District of Calamity” (sic).

Patrick Henry on America's Foundational Values
Post Scriptus: A reader pointed out a piece from SNOPES which challenges the attribution of Patrick Henry to this comment. Other sources, like Wallbuilders consider this quote unconfirmed from primary sources but reflecting the founder's personal predilections.
Whether or not Patrick Henry uttered this pithy phrase, it does reflect this thinkers understanding of the ideal of the American Republic, which was founded by spiritual leaders from different religious persuasions which established a pluralistic polity which welcomes all creeds and those of no creed.
