adams...in regard to atheists...”that’s their problem”

Simplistic nonsense. But hey, if it convinces people to vote for smaller gubmint, that’s fine.

But scholars say the course's emphasis is flawed. Gutzman, a Republican-turned-libertarian, found Skousen's work "filled with inaccuracies" and a religiosity that gives the free-market system a "patina of religion." Sean Wilentz, a professor of history at Princeton University, called Skousen a "fake authority."

Leave it to an atheist libertarian to believe that the free market CAN work without Chrisitan-Judeo values.

The founding fathers were brilliant. Today’s career politicians are mere azzhats.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Anyone who thinks that the Founders were libertarians, especially in the social sense of that word, is an uninformed dunderhead.

Glenn Beck does a Friday show of one Founding father bio....it’s very good.

Our Constitution is the fortress wall around each and everyone of us, we surely best start defending it!

Taylor . . .spun stories (of) Thomas Jefferson as a conflicted soul who wished to abolish slavery but because of his benevolence was reluctant to free his own slaves. "If you've been to Monticello and you see how Jefferson cared for them, they didn't want to leave," Taylor told the class.

He didn't free them because, as property, they were assets on which he could borrow. Jefferson liked to live the high life was almost always in debt. He needed those people held in slavery to hold off creditors. At his death, his estate was $107,000 in the red. The man who made the word "democrat' acceptable (it had been a slander) is the poster boy of what the Democratic party is now and has always been.

Thanks for posting this article! The left is busy trying to protray the Founders as godless satanists in an effort to derail this movement. The Tea Party should recruit from this desire.

Never mind. This story relates to white, middle aged tea party/militia type Christian Men, worshiping middle aged white Christian Man slave owners who rebelled against the king who owned everything. The Constitution is irrelevant because of that.

I am working my way through the Federalist Papers and I have started Tempest at Dawn by James Best. It is a fictionalized account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, based largely through James Madison's eyes. It is awesome.
