David Barton often quotes John Adams as having written a letter vigorously opposing any separation of church and state. What Barton knows, having examined the document himself, is that Adams was outlining a view so that he could disagree with it. Barton just leaves the people-who-believe-this-are-pathetic part off. Barton does this sort of thing often, without conscience. He is as dishonest a polemicist as you will ever find purporting to be an historian. Not to put too fine a point on it, he lies in service to the Lord. T. Paine, at Saving Common Sense, describes Barton as "a brilliant historian with nearly encyclopedic knowledge of America’s history". He then uses Barton as his source to prove President Obama is hostile to Judeo-Christian religion. T. Paine is a long time friend and contributor, often willing to educate me on the virtues of conservatism. I'll try and come up with some conservative historian with more integrity. It's the least I can do to help out a real friend.

Al Stefanelli, Georgia State Director for American Atheists, inhabits Mad Mike's America. He takes note of the Republican war on the separation of Church and State. He responds with a warning about the founders' original intent being undermined by majoritarianism, as the Christian horde overrules the freedom of atheists. Neglected is the possibility that some of us in the Christian majority would stand with those who do not share our faith.

Rumproast's Gil Mann is shocked at video proving that a young Obama once embraced a liberal black professor with a full body fist bump, thereby proving that the President hates America and wants to jail white people. Or something. Maybe that he was for gay rights? Jon Stewart questions whether their nipples touched. I suspect Gil Mann of sarcasm. Read for yourself.

Tommy Christopher of Mediaite fame watches as Soledad O'Brien doesn't let a Breitbart successor, the new Editor-in-chief at Breitbart.com, get by with smearing President Obama with the body-bump-video. Tommy notes that the site tries to slam O'Brien in return, but makes an embarrassing error during the attack. Worthy of a snicker or two.

Slant Right's John Houk has discovered that President Obama is actually a Kenyon. I wonder about Arizona Governor Jan Brewer simply pointing her finger when she rushed up the tarmac to confront America's Commander in Chief. Maybe she was trying to arrest and deport this most notable of illegal aliens.

Chuck Thinks Right uses a so's-your-old-man defense on behalf of Rush. Think of all the others who have done said so much worse. Those on the left. Those ignored by media. Those who pretty much run one of the political parties. Okay, so Rush is the only one who does that. Still, misogyny is wrong no matter the source.

Manifesto Joe of Texas Blues has an answer, though, on the Rush question. Has to do with quality and quantity of the abuse.

Dave Dubya reminds us of the target of the Limbaugh attacks. It wasn't Sandra Fluke.

Max's Dad has a great visual graphic representation of the travails of Rush.

Nancy Hanks at The Hankster reports that young voters are becoming independent of party identification.

Jerry Critter is back (Yay!) at Critter's Crap with Bad Lip Reading video speeches by the remaining GOP candidates. Did they really say all that?

Jack Jodell, friend of the working blogger at THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON POST, previews the coming general election. He seems to feel we'll have a choice, not an echo.

Infidel 753 finds a video of the single individual Rick Santorum accuses of masterminding all these years of progressive change.

The Heathen Republican plays a bit of rhetorical jujitsu on those of us who criticize Mitt Romney for bellicose talk about Iran. Fair is fair.

Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson continues his investigation into municipally financed Giant guitars, complete with diagrammed specs. Darnedest scandal you'll ever read about.

Ned Williams at Wisdom Is Vindicated finds research indicating the capacity for politeness, more than IQ, may predict success in life.

PZ Myers, writing for Pharyngula, takes a militant approach to his birthday. I'm getting to the age where I hum through Happy Birthday so I can remember my name. Happy Birthday dear Bur-urr.. That's it. Burr.

Vincent of A wayfarer's notes visits farm country and finds beauty in agriculture. Actually, Vincent finds beauty pretty much everywhere. Maybe the source is within the observer.

Papamoka at Papamoka Straight Talk is inspired to wit and wisdom by Facebook.

Our favorite John Myste at John Myste Responds proposes that, when it comes to beliefs, reasoning and actual reasons are often independent of each other.

Ryan (I think) at Secular Ethics responds to John's observation creatively. Don't worry, he seems to say, evolution will conquer all.
(Update: Ryan points out that I got it all wrong. He's right. Click to see why)

Why do we have to do this, Sir? speculates with women he knows about man-flu, a malady women never get, and creatively segues into a holy confrontation with a parent.

Tim McGaha at Tim's Thoughtful Spot considers the role of technology in deciding the outcome of the Civil War. Remember the Monitor!
