Glenn Beck talked about revisionist history on last week’s Founders’ Friday. A year ago, would you have said that Washington was a diehard Christian? That Woodrow Wilson was an OK president, or that he had spies and put 30,000 Americans in jail for speaking out? That Hitler’s Geobbels learned about propaganda from American progressives? That the New Deal saved America? That FDR was loved?
Guests included Peter Lillback, author of “George Washington’s Sacred Fire“; Jerry Falwell Jr., Chancellor of Liberty University; and Burton Folsom, Jr., professor of history at Hillsdale College, and author of “New Deal or Raw Deal?”
I watched this episode of Glenn Beck with awe and gratitude. I am old enough to have learned some of the GOOD things about George Washington during my elementary school days more years ago than I care to mention. I have been worried for years about the garbage they have been teaching in public schools and calling it History. I was blessed to grow up near Washington D.C. and went to George Washington’s birthplace for our sixth grade class trip. I KNEW Washington was a Christian. I am glad to see that others are speaking out now. If they have lied about Washington, you can bet they have lied about others. I have read the Constitution MANY times and have a text book with the Constitution in it — the whole thing — and NOWHERE have I ever been able to find ANYTHING pertaining to “separation of church and state”. Please, people, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! READ READ READ everything you can find about the Constitution and all the GOOD books about our founding fathers. You will learn that what is currently being taught by the progressives is NOT (I REPEAT NOT) true.
