More Wingnut


Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton says that "the Constitution is a God-given document based on God's word" and thus electing Christians to office "allows God's principles to work in a nation."


His argument is circular to the point that it's chasing its tail right up its own ass.

But it is kinda clever.

He needs to dodge the obvious question (If an all-powerful god wanted us to be a theocracy, wouldn't we be a theocracy already?), so he skips backwards to the founding, claiming the US is supposed to be a theocracy, but those rotten liberals are thwarting god's plan.

But that demands the conclusion: if god's plan can be thwarted by a few bureaucrats and activists, then that's one weak-ass god you got there, Skeezix.
