"I was also looking forward to this opportunity to dispel some of the mythology surrounding myself and my fellow founders-particularly the myth of our infallibility...." "We had flaws. Adams was a unbearable prick and squeeled girlishly whenever he saw a bug. And Ben Franklin? If crack existed in our day, that boozed-up snuff machine would weigh 80 punds and live outside the Port Authority. And I had slaves. Damn, I can't believe I had slaves!..."

and if you take this seriously....I will pity you...
on a more serious note I think that you can use them to back you up...but they aren't arguement enders. How dated their words are does hurt their application to today's society. However when people say that we should do something because this is what the founding fathers "intended" it's bull...unless you can channel their soul...oh man would that be kinda cool...
