re: #352 Gus 802

some people today may resist this notion but it is absolutely true—it was founded by people of faith. It was founded on principles of faith. The whole idea of equality of men and women [and] of the races all springs from the notion that we’re all children of a just God.

How is this sentence supposed to work? I mean… if you want to claim that the founders were men of faith, fine, whatever. Then you throw in that second part about equality. Okay. But the founders didn’t do any of that… Those men supported slavery and didn’t give women the right to vote.

Can we send this man an American history textbook? (not from Texas!)
