It’s remarkable that people who invoke the Founders so regularly and in such tones of devotion could be utterly deaf to the Founders’ concern to ensure freedom for mistrusted minority religions. They might start by reading George Washington’s once-famous letter to the Newport synagogue, paying special attention to this sentence: “It is now no more [...]

It may be too easy to say that the president hasn’t provided proof of his place of birth (Which he has on countless occasions. Those in question just don’t think it’s proof enough. Tough shit ). It may be too easy to totally discount the fact that various independent souces have verified and confirmed all [...]
This is a photo of a slave boy named John. The picture was found in an attic in Charlotte, North Carolina, a nondescript hiding place for such a magnificent, haunting piece of American history. Along with the photo of John and his companion, was a document detailing the sale of John for $1,150 dollars in [...]
