I avoid Jefferson. He writes one thing and a few days later, writes an explanation of what he wrote a few days before which interprets the matter differently than one might think. He appears to be constantly in conflict with himself.

Read Madison!!

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

I've read that Columbus was an outstanding businessman, who assembled the financial, political and technical resources to go someplace new.

It is speculated he assembled alternative route information, including the Nordic explorers, that got to North America, who left maps.

"When we did separate from Great Britain in 1776, more than half the states abolished slavery --New York, Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania. Not every state did, you had four in the south that kept it. But you have a huge majority of Founding Fathers that were anti-slavery. Never owned slaves."

I don't understand this quote. Did Barton mean the importation of slaves? There were certainly more than four states in the South that allowed slavery after 1776, and in the year that Washington died, 1799, there were slaves in New York.

So, you are saying that Liberals are anti Christian and Conservatives are the only true Christians?

What utter nonsense!
