  • Glenn Beck and David Barton will be appearing at a Ted Cruz campaign rally in Iowa this weekend.

  • Bryan Fischer cannot understand "the mysterious attraction evangelicals seem to have for Donald Trump. It makes little rational sense." 

  • John Stemberger is likewise mystified, though he says that he'll hold his nose and vote from Trump if he is the GOP nominee versus Hillary Clinton "but he won't advise others to do the same."

  • Linda Tripp says that "I believe Monica Lewinsky is alive today because of choices I made and action I took."

  • The folks over at Shoebat.com want it made clear that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a "modernist antichrist and Christ-denier."

  • Finally, David Barton brags that his "The Jefferson Lies" book has recieved endorsements from "a number of important academics" and then proceeds to cite one who never even graduated from college.

David Barton

Despite having obtained only a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oral Roberts University in the 1970s, David Barton now routinely bills himself as “America’s premier historian” and has established a reputation as the Religious Right’s go-to “expert” for making the case that the Founding Fathers intended to establish America to be a Christian nation that operates according to the laws of God as set out in the Bible.
