And now an Easter message from Biden.. Yes the guy who's taken a train across the Key Bridge.

From the Washington Examiner

Biden proclaims Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility.

"Like those crosses outlined in light on the Manhattan skyline at night, George Washington’s exhortations and admonitions are residues of a lost and probably unrecoverable past."



I am thankful that it is "unrecoverable".

The founding Fathers did a great job setting up our government, but their "morals" include acceptance of slavery and oppression of women. Those are two evils that require religious dogma to justify them. They are basic tenants of Christianity and Islam. That is why our government has to be free of religious influence.

Churches do a lot of good work, but they can't be involved in shaping government policy.

Although you profess to be a teacher of History, you fail to realize the folly of judging the actions of the past against today's values.

I am so glad you're not really a teacher (or a lawyer, lol!). Your ignorance would be unbelievable if I didn't already know that you simply parrot whatever you're told, and this is just more of that.

The only "folly" here is trying to use the words of a slave owner to lecture people on "todays morality".

It's like claiming that doctors today need to get back to bloodletting in order to balance the humours of their patients.

Everything I said is 100% correct.

Just tell me what you claim is wrong and I will give you a history lesson right here in front of everyone.
