States get the magic number for ratification w/9 - 3 to go.

Posted on August 26, 2026 at 2:23pm 0 Comments

As a “Christian” nationalist said a couple of years ago: ““America should be governed according to biblical law for the benefit of believers.” [FN137] That’s brazen, not at all consistent w/equal protection of the law, and based on false narratives (a/k/a lies) about history. 1/18

One such false narrative: this country was founded as a “Christian” country. Add, as a factor, that people who hold elected office share these views and you arrive at why I’ve blogged the past few days about…

Next 3 States to ratify (GA, CT, MA) no one says “We’re ‘Christian" & they've had the opportuinity

Pennsylvania was 2nd [FN113] to ratify. [FN114] A pre-Revolutionary War history makes no mention of religion. [FN115] A record of Pennsylvania’s State convention shows rules for that convention, including rule…

“Christian” nationalists: stupid OR ignorant or stupid AND ignorant (& mean about it, too)

Posted on August 23, 2026 at 12:36pm 0 Comments

“Christian” nationalists assert that the USA was founded as a “Christian” country, but none of the founding documents refers to, or notes as included in our laws, either Old or New Testament. And to say only that “they” adopted “‘Christian’ morals,’” doesn’t get it: 1/17



1) “They” construe “Christian” morals to rationalize hatred [FN98];

2) The 13 States began a move to have all criminal statutes in writing. [FN99] Now, to return to the State ratification conventions ...…

I can give it a shot. It would be mainly "shoot from the hip", though.
