I remember this revelation this passed week... And it’s very telling.
For if this guy is as ‘supah smart’ as every one claims (I really don’t see it) then he didn’t make a mistake in the number, just the subject matter
As for the quote on the rug and the mistaken history... This is a perfect cue for GBeck and would fit perfectly with his theme that historical teachings in the US are horrible at best, revisionist at worst
Glenn Beck is pretty good.
He has revived my interst in history again.
I just purchased the original
STATES RIGHTS Nullification CIVIL WAR Virginia published in 1832
...
“The second collection is the 1832 work The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and ‘99; with Jefferson’s Original Draught Thereof. Also, Madison’s Report, Calhoun’s Address, Resolutions of the Several States in Relation to State Rights. With Other Documents in Support of the Jeffersonian Doctrines of ‘98. This book contained the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, the Report of 1800, and other documents in support of the states’ rights position, which was at that time under fire due to the nullification crisis. As H. Jefferson Powell puts it, Elliot was more than “simply an assiduous gatherer of historical information about the Constitution: he was an active participant…in the constitutional debates of his day.”[1]”

Thre are many intersting websites where you can atually read the ORIGINAL document and not be dependent on everyone elses spin on it.

The one I purchased I have not seen on the net or in libraries online. I am eager to receive it.
