Falwell would have seen Henry having beer at breakfast (very common in the 18th century) and agitated to have him hanged.

Your weak attempt at humor falls flat here.

Your statement imputes a point of view to Falwell that is absurd. Falwell knows that many Christians even today drink beer and wine. Even though he disapproves of that practice, he nowhere calls for anyone's hanging.

Perhaps you resent Falwell's exercising his Constitutionally recognized freedom to preach his conscience on the use of alcohol.

Can you not separate this particular doctrine (with which you may disagree) from the other things that Falwell says and stands for?

Or, are you to smallhearted to see that the man truly loves God and his country.

Sure, I have no problem with him teaching that one ought to not use alcohol, even if do not agree.

I have a very large problem with his sanctimonious stupidity that blames us for 9/11.

Of course I can. But based on his smug moralistic statements, I doubt Falwell would be happy with a constitutionally-limited government which is precluded from sending tax dollars to Israel or decreeing what people can and cannot do with their own bodies. He is an authoritarian, not a lover of liberty.
