Yet again, we see the loudest yelps of “1776 BAYBEE!!!” from Christian Patriots who don’t know the first fucking thing about the history of the country over which they claim to have exclusive ownership. 2 out of 8 ain’t bad, I guess.

Way back in the early 2010s I created a tumblr page devoted to fake quotes from the founders. One pattern I found is that the people most likely to circulate fake founders quotes are the people who call themselves conservative *originalists.* www.tumblr.com/fakefounders...
Nearly Every Founding Fathers' Quote Shared By A Likely Future Congressman Is Fakewww.tumblr.com Georgia's likely, future Congressman appears to be the Michael Jordan of Fake Founders Quotes.  Looks like this tumblr will have reason to exist for at least a few more years.

I once observed to my French neighbor that they have words for both entrepreneur and bureaucrat, and it blew her mind. (I love France! And we would not be the USA if not for France!)
