Most of the Founding Fathers wouldn’t be considered Christian by most American Christians

“…churches show certain books, which they call revelation, or the word of God. The Jews say, that their word of God was given by God to Moses, face to face; the Christians say, that their word of God came by divine inspiration: and the Turks say, that their word of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from Heaven. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all.” - Thomas Paine “Age of Reason”

I don’t think you guys know who Thomas Paine is. Look him up. He should have been covered in school.

🤣😂

@Northwest When I attended public school (way back in the Sixties and in the state of North Carolina, before the liberals screwed up education there) we studied Paine. Of course, blue state schools introduced the 1619 Project, (a nice little LIE to justify their racism) but Paine is discussed in Florida schools, mostly at the high school levels. (Although I've seen Paine in a few middle school lesson plans as well.

Holy shit! North Carolina. When didi Senators Senators Burr (Republican Party), and Tillis flip from the GOP to the Democrat party? Did the 8 GOP House members, out of 13, switch to the Democrat party as well?

Those darn leftists, they turned UNC into a shit hole. Oh, wait, t's one of the top schools in the world.

Of course, blue state schools introduced the 1619 Project

It's really funny how disillusioned people like you are.

@Northwest @Northwest This was North Carolina in the Sixties, YOU MORON. I'm not a child. At the time, the Senator I remember was Jesse Helms, a conservative who was also a staunch supporter of the tobacco lobby. Tobacco is a large cash crop in North Carolina. I grew up in a small town with tobacco barns all over the place. In a way, that was a positive because I was so disgusted that I never took up the smoking habit.

Of course, those where the days when Democrat racists weren't nearly as secretive. Lester Maddox (governor of Georgia) and George Wallace, were both overt segregationists. Ernest Hollings Jr was the one who originally hoisted a Confederate flag over the state house in South Carolina. Albert Gore Sr and William Fulbright (mentor to bill KKKlinton) voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.

Let's do a reality check:

The US Senate:

Richard Mauze Burr: US Senator, GOP, representing North Carolina since 2005
Thomas Roland Tillis: US Senator, GOP, representing North Carolina sine 2015

And the US House North Carolina Congressional Delegation:

Democrats:

Adams, Alma, District: 12
Butterfield, G. K. , District: 1
Manning, Kathy, Disttict: 6
Price, David, District: 4
Ross, Deborah, District: 2

GOP:

Bishop, Dan, District: 9
Budd, Ted, District: 13
Cawthorn, Madison, District: 11
Foxx, Virginia, District: 5
Hudson, Richard, District: 8
McHenry, Patrick, District: 10
Murphy, Gregory, District: 3
Rouzer, David, District: 7

So, upon close examination, and checking for the current date, it turns out YOU ARE A MORON.

At the time, the Senator I remember was Jesse Helms

Switch to 2022, YOU MORON. Some amazing stuff happened since they did away with morse-code based communications.
