We do not have Patrick Henrys leading us today because Christians have been careless. Even though we say "God Bless America" with our lips, we often reject God by our actions.

More of Falwell's sanctimonious slop, in the same vein as 9/11 being caused not by the bad guys, but because God lifted His "protective veil".

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

I once saw a public forum in which Falwell participated. A man quoted an Old Testament verse in which God promised that his covenant with Israel would never be broken. Why then, the man asked, must Jews accept the "new covenant" of the New Testament? Falwell got a big laugh from the yokels by saying, "Sir, you'd know better than to ask that question at Liberty Baptist!"

Have paid Falwell very little attention since.
