Bonus Tracks
Round-up

Kyle Mantyla
  • It is surprising to hear David and Tim Barton claim that Andrew Jackson was one of the worst presidents in American history given their constant praise for Donald Trump, whose own presidency was modeled on Jackson's.
  • Jack Hibbs is giddy about getting a shout-out from Trump during his recent NRB speech: "It was an honor to be acknowledged by the most pro-life President in American history!"
  • Radical right-wing broadcaster Stew Peters declares that "everything that's going wrong in every sector of life, the person that is leading it happens to claim to be Jewish."
  • Lauren Witzke is outraged about the GOP's Spanish-language response to President Biden's State of the Union Address: "This is America and there should NEVER be a 'Spanish Language Address.' Don’t know what we’re saying? Go back to your own country."
  • Finally, Eric Metaxas fumes that Christians who refuse to vote for Trump are "childish," warning that "God will judge you" for not doing so.

David Barton

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.
