The quote sounds accurate to me. What else does a gutted, underfunded government have to run on besides a hope and a prayer?

History is the easiest subject to fake expertise in, because it happened so long ago, nobody alive remembers it. Abner Doubleday first said that, after he built the first bible-powered rocket ship and invented selenium.

What's most infuriating is the clear long game strategy involved (and the fact that it's gaining traction.). Honestly, other than common sense, are there any equally aggressive long range efforts for people against mass stupidity?

I heard that yesterday. When you have historians from Messiah and Grove City Colleges, two of the most conservative, evangelical instituions in the country, saying that you are totally wrong...you must not even be in the same state as the ballpark.

> It's delicious watching my old professor losing what little credibility he had.

You take that back. David Barton has never had any credibility whatsoever, except among the extremely gullible.

@14- Steely Dan? The band named after a steam powered dildo (whatever that means) from William S. Borroughs Naked Lunch? The band founded at Bard College, where black-listed intellectuals could get a job at the height of the Red Scare?

You've got gall to quote them as if they're part of your fascist dream world.
