I’m going to ignore Lemon’s religious provocations, and focus on the secular.
“So, why are we deifying the founders of this country, many of whom owned slaves?”
Who is this “we” Lemon has conjured from nothing? Who is doing any deifying, as opposed to honoring the founding fathers? People outside of mental institutions view Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, et al. as mere mortals who did exceptional things, despite having the same feet of clay we all share. That is precisely WHY they were great. Owning slaves was a very ordinary phenomenon in their times, and a negative blot on the character of the slaveholders. Is Lemon too infantile to understand that it was one of many aspects of complex individuals?
The Left have deified Marx and Che.
Really they have. Karl Marx is supposed to have a unified theory that explains all science micro and macro and “political” too. They believe Marx was without sin an the prophet to save humanity.
