Stephan:   This is the latest on the Orwellian revision of the country's founding, a trend driven entirely by the CTR. In many ways I am more concerned about the trend of CTR willful ignorance then I am  of climate change itself. If the American media constantly pointed out the factual distortions and lies of the CTR — The U.S. was founded as a Christian nation — as good journalism demands, this nonsense would be stopped by public ridicule. Theocratic Rightism of whatever form, wherever it found  is the most toxic social force in world civilization today.

    Not only Thomas Jefferson, but all our Founders, Framers and their wives, those who fought in the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War and all the wars through Bush’s invasion of Iraq… to name a very, very, few, must be turning over in their graves. I also include those immigrants who came to America seeking a better life, such as my grandparents and parents and everyone who has passed to spirit up to today. Those 57% need to occupy their own planet (of their own construction) and worship in their own theocracy and at the altar of greed!
