this history of the intimacy of christianity and the united states is not endorsed by the harvard university faculty, nor by columbia university's, nor by walla walla community college's. odd, the role of orthodoxy in the affairs of the intellect, and the suppression of fact upon which it rests: an interesting gymnastic, to profess truth, as professors do, based upon the suppression of truth. well, i will leave the consideration of that to better minds.
the video is entitled, "u.s. capitol tour with david barton." it seems a bit lacking in describing the role that islam played in the founding of the united states, but, we'll just leave it to b. insane obama to fill in the little omitted niches of "historical fact," with regard to how islam is such an integral feature of our heritage.
well, when the marines went ashore at tripoli to wipe out the little pirate's den that was extracting tribute and ransom for american sailors and dignitaries kidnapped and murdered at sea, they did make it into the proud marine corps hymn. "hymn." not anthem. not song. but, "hymn." hhmmnn.
you may find it interesting to note the muslim tradition of priracy in north africa that percipitated the marine landing in this little history at wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirate . the muslim tradition of murder, rapine, piracy and thuggery go back centuries. nothing changes very much, does it?
