Tolerance is a concession, bigotry with feigned acceptance. James Madison and Jefferson knew this. When the Virginia Declaration of Rights was being drafted George Mason had an amendment read [T]hat all men should enjoy the fullest toleration in the exercise of religion,” That was not good enough for Madison and Baptist John Leland, who had Madison’s ear. Madison debated for it to be changed to “All men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion.”, and he won.

I joined Barton’s FB page in order to bring this information to his sheeple. I quickly found myself and my post removed. In threads littered with ad hominem attacks on Barton, and facts discrediting Barton’s finding, they felt compelled to delete and information relating the Early Baptist influence on our Government. Perhaps this is something that needs further exploration and exploitation.

He continues to lash out at any and all who dare to to question his revisionist history. I have to wonder where he gets the intestinal fortitude to continue this tack in the face of a moral and ethical G*D? Our founding fathers where mere men, although men of courage and valor, their hearts were those of men, with all the foibles and quirks that go into our humanity.

Should he continue to inflict on this nation a kind of malaise, a malaise which will endanger our nation with incomplete and fantastical historical facts, it will only serve to embolden those who seek to destroy the nature of our democracy. A democracy which is founded on tolerance and a welcoming nature, which is endangered at this very moment, by forces which seek to close the borders, which seek to demonize those who are “different.” What is the root cause of this danger, a lack of control, a changing demographic which will see WASP’s become the minority soon. Hopefully soon, Christians will awake from their slumber and choose to live peaceably and with a welcoming heart.

They believe Barton will go to any length to prove a Christian link to the founding at the risk of the reputation of evangelical Christianity today.

If Chuck Colson were still alive, he would have quashed this perfidy with one swift stroke. How convenient that Colson is no longer here to defend Barton. Are we supposed to believe that this is all a coincidence? Hopefully, Barton, Lively and Beck will get right on this and expose the conspiracy before it spreads any further.
