…teaches that the Civil War was about a Christian South fighting the Godless North. Ah the good old days – an age when you didn’t have to worry about a slave getting elected President:
“Wilkins has combined a Christian conservatism with neo-confederate views and developed what is known as the theological war thesis. This is an idea that says the best way to understand the Civil War is to see it in religious terms, and [that] the South was an Orthodox Christian nation attacked by the godless North and that what was really lost after the Civil War was one of the pinnacles of Christian society. This insane view of the Civil War has been successfully injected into some of the Christian home-schooling movement curriculums with the help of [Wilkins]. My guess is this is how she encountered the guy at some point. … She recommended this book on her website for a number of years. It is an objectively pro-slavery book and one of the most startling things I learned about her in this piece.”
There is one sure lesson to be learned from this. Stop giving any federal funds to National Public Radio. Its just not “fair and balanced.” Besides, the Bachmann’s family farm and its homosexual cure center is a much better use of our tax money.
