The Conservative Craving for Anti-Intellectual Stew

I think Ted "the Douche" Cruz needs a little lesson on Constitutional principles - I suspect he was asleep during Con Law, or busy recording videos talking about staring in "booby films."

1. An excellent post. Rccommended. Except for number 3

3) Moses inspired the Founding Fathers to establish a new government. (What?!)

This is actually true. Thomas Jefferson had a twin brother, Moses Jefferson. He was the one who inspired Thomas Jefferson, and the one who did all of the writing that T Jefferson published as his own.

Moses Jefferson also parted the waters so Washington could cross the river.

3. The most instrumental founding fathers didn't even self-identify as Christians

Of the 7 founding fathers that had the most influence over the creation of the new republic, only one self-identified as a Christian at the time of the signing of the Constitution.

Adams - Unitarian
Franklin - Specifically rejected Christianity. At times identified as Deist.
Hamilton - Irreligious at the time of the Constitution signing. Identified as Christian later in life.
John Jay - Identified as Christian.
Jefferson - Unaffiliated.
Washington - Unaffiliated.
Madison - Unaffiliated.
