2. We are doing "The Truth Project" in my Bible Study

We are studying the American Experiment right now. I have been preparing for combat (as I did when the study went after Darwin). This clip directly talks to that point. My daughter asked me why I am doing it, and I tried to explain to her I feel that I have the duty to at least try to explain the reality of the situation (we are not a Christian nation - we are a nation that incorporated some Christian ideas along with much from the Enlightenment. We also were not perfect at birth, but malformed but trying (I am hope) to do better.

I guess Demint wants to return to when you convert, then you can eat (after we have killed all your buffalo etc off).

3. Right Wing Authoritarianism

DeMint needs to read about RWA and get back to us. RWAs are skewed greatly towards Christianity, but really need to be controlled by authoritarians.

He has this all completely backwards. This makes sense because RWAs tend to believe what they want to believe, facts be damned. If Jimmy said so, his RWA followers nod their heads and will do some data mining if challenged. This is how we get AGW deniers.
