One of the teachers at my church supports him. So I read John Feas book just in case.

AND I would point out that opposing David Barton really isn’t a political issue. It is an issue of facts and reality. David Barton is a lying liar who lies. If he told me the sky was blue, I’d be checking out the window, that’s how trustworthy his word is. All people of good will should be out there telling the Idaho GOP that we want our government based on reality, not David Barton’s lies.

To represent all the people does not mean one has to agree with all viewpoints or never take a stand with which a portion of them may disagree. It sometimes means making decisions which are in the best interests of the whole. But again, this was a GOP event and any member of that party should be allowed to object to a misuse of it’s pulpit to spread dangerous misinformation from a proven fraud – for the good of the party and the public. Some would call that good leadership.
