“Excluding the proceedings of legislatures and conventions, upon which the sample does not draw,”
I.e. records from when the framers were actually governing and creating laws were excluded.

” Also on my list is liberal hypocrisy, which I point out when I can.”
Simply because Warren is unfamiliar with everyone pushing a misguided view of history, doesn’t make him a hypocrite. Nor does the fact that he doesn’t have the time to go after every person who pushes a misguided view of history.
Also, the fact that Warren tends to focus on guys like Barton and Peroutka does not make him a liberal. I would say he focuses on guys like Barton and Peroutka because he is NOT a liberal. I..e he is trying to show that not all evangelical conservatives agree with twisting the facts to support a particular view.

You are creating a false dichotomy. Both gentlemen can be (and probably are) wrong but I am at this moment more sure about Mr. Peroutka. To my eye, what it appears you are doing is trying to change the subject. The subject of this post and others like it are the verifiable errors in Mr. Peroutka’s presentation. Mr. Peroutka’s polemic is not simply about Christian influences, but rather an attempt to make a case that the framers set out to create an expressly Christian government based on biblical law. I do think a Christian reconstructionist (ala Rushdoony) paradigm is dangerous and antithetical to the actual government set up by the framers.

Also on my list is liberal hypocrisy, which I point out when I can.
You say you don’t know Mr. Lumumba (or as you prefer to spell the man’s name, “Lamumba”) but I doubt if you know Mr. Peroutka, either.
Why is a polemic that highlights the Christian influence on America’s founding some kind of threat, but an elected official promoting the “Republic of New Afrika” is not? If your concern is historical accuracy, why aren’t you bothered by Lumumba’s glaring error?
