Your cut and paste is woefully wrong as it relates to the Episcopalians on the list.

"Your cut and paste is woefully wrong as it relates to the Episcopalians on the list." ~ Siobhan

On the contrary, it relates to any American who, like our founders, loves and defends FREEDOM both at home and abroad.

Reiterating:

"The U.S. Constitution is a Calvinist's document through and through."

And because of that, they made sure that in America, one man’s liberty will not depend upon another man’s (religious) conscience (as in Europe)!

Dr. George Bancroft, arguably the most prominent American historian of the 19th century — and not a Calvinist — stated:

"He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty"
