At the same time <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2013/09/26/delay-and-corsi-to-write-a-book/" rel="nofollow">he has joined forces with Jerome Corsi</a> ...<br /><br />He also claims that <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2013/11/02/delay-god-created-the-constitution/" rel="nofollow">God created the Constitution</a> (apparently to get around the point that its writers were deeply immersed in secular morality and humanist ideals - they were really guided by God without knowing. Or he may go a full Barton and just deny that the Founding Fathers based the Constitution on Enlightenment, humanist principles.)G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-58289630113106641892010-11-25T11:28:51.844-05:002010-11-25T11:28:51.844-05:00This is truly something to be thankful for.This is truly something to be thankful for.chaospethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811612076302931506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-86068501076419763372010-11-25T11:21:33.679-05:002010-11-25T11:21:33.679-05:00At least he seems to be neutralized for good now -...At least he seems to be neutralized for good now - he fancies himself some kind of martyr, but I do suspect even the far reaches of the right wing will be hesitant about associating themselves with himG.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-24460168311187254552010-11-23T16:04:16.615-05:002010-11-23T16:04:16.615-05:00Question is to what extent this is an example of l...Question is to what extent this is an example of lunacy rather than vileness - being vile isn't sufficient to be a loon.
