I first heard David Barton speak on our Christian heritage about 8 years ago. The knowledge that he shares is quite inspiring.
(It is said that President Garfield, a scholar of the Bible, could write a sentence in Latin with one hand, while simultaneously writing a sentence in Greek with the other.)

And George Washington, on the day of his Inauguration as our First President, immediately after the ceremony (which was very brief) walked a few blocks and attended his church, desiring to take the Lord's Supper as his first official act upon becoming our President. Seems HE had some priorities sorted out, and had no fear of violating any "separation of church and state."

I have always had a great appreciation for that video (yes, we got it many years ago before DVD's!!) Wonderful info.

Points we disagree with David Barton:
He cosied up to mormon, Glen Beck
also John Haggi and Sarah Palin
to rally support for the war
at the Neocon fest
at the Lincoln Memorial
proclaiming their admiration for
one of the most murderous tyrants
Abraham Lincoln
the first to put Marxist in his cabinet
in US history.
