History can be what you want to make of it, I guess. But when you believe it, well, that is close to being delusional. Perchance he needs your services instead of your arrest?

There’s plenty of caselaw protecting the right to deliberately lie.
It’s only restricted in a very few specific cases:
1) Not permitted to lie under oath
2) Not permitted to lie to Federal Law Enforcement
3) Not permitted to abet Fraud
4) Not permitted to lie to harm individuals not public figures.

Nelson says: “We are fast becoming historically illiterate …”
I agree that there is, in this ‘instant soundbite’ world of ours, a real danger of this. Working to maintain a proper approach to history (‘enquiry’ is the literal meaning of the Greek word from which our word ‘history’ comes) is a huge task, but an essential one.

@ Lynn David
Love your comment! But Warren should charge ‘top whack’ (a good portion, maybe all, of which I know he would give charity).

Frankly the thought of a citizens arrest of the far right wing squirrel nut job history revisionists thrills me to no end. The trouble is that lying although unethical and immoral is not against the law in any way except in a court of law. We need to ferret out the prevaricators for ourselves and what will help in this endeavour is knowing the historically accurate information regarding the founding of this nation.
Please stop the madness of listening to the far right wing squirrel nut jobs and start hearing and listening to those who have given their lives to the pursuit of truth and knowledge of the founding of this nation. We are fast becoming historically illiterate, and should this trend continue we’ll eventually fall prey to the likes of people like Bradlee Dean, David Bartion and of course the ever present and most watched prevaricator Glenn Beck.
