David Barton & Jon Stewart: Good Lord, Rick Perry Made This Guy a Textbook Expert?

• So David Barton claims that he was the ghost writer for the Texas School Board requirements for text books? I am sure that the Afro-Americans in the United States will have trouble accepting that their conclusion is that there was no slavery, but "Atlantic triangular trade", and the whites were innocent.

• David Barton is a joke, the same as the Republican Party is a joke. Barton and the party try to appeal to minorities as stating they are the party that "freed" the slaves when the Republican Party that is now is not the same as it was then. Lincoln would rollover in his grave if he saw what the party has become. Then they try to push the fact that out of 315 democratic congressmen, only a 198 voted for the Civil Rights bill, WHAT THEY DON"T MENTION is that of the ones who DID NOT vote for it, were considered DIXIECRATS, southern Democrats who were supported by southern racists. And then as time went on those Southern Racist Democrat supporters became Republicans as they saw the Democrats as a party that supported civil rights, which with the exception of Dixiecrats was true. The problem is Barton does not indicate this and just leaves it as Democrats could not fully support it. This is one example of false truths and the implementation of leaving facts out, which is what this douchebag does to history to try and rewrite it. He does that here is Texas and trys to blur history while pushing his Christian agenda on history which is has no place. Those Dixiecrats are what we see today in the Tea Party, direct decendents or the actual racists who were around then. Problem is most do not know they are racists, which makes it the more scary.

• Unitarianism in the 1700s was basically the same as today with the views of the Godhead. It was an English movement based from Sociniamism, which, like Arianism, asserted there is no Trinity. The Founders that were Unitarians largely denied the divinity of Jesus, which is a distinctly Socinian view (but certainly not Arian). No divine Jesus = no Godhead.
