I’ve been doing a lot of deep reading on our founders in recent months and have been amazed at how much we don’t teach anymore. College libraries are a great source of info that unfortunately aren’t used by college kids.
The attacks and attempts to discredit our founders goes back to before the revolution. The british papers of the day warned colonists of the danger of following violent godless men like Samuel Adams and George Whitfield, Religion was an important part of America and the british used claims of atheism and paganism to discredit.
It’s a common tactic to issue ad hominem attacks when you can’t address the issue presented. I don’t care what you think of me nor does anyone else. Try responding to the quotes. BTW Zappa was a strong libertarian and more of a conservative then the Holy Rollers who want to subvert the Constitution to their religious beliefs. There already is a political party interested in telling people how to live their lives. It’s called the Democrat Party.
