A Little History Lesson

This Virginia veteran has seen many complete disavowments of history, but this one is particularly disturbing. The Christian Heritage Center of Fishersville, VA, at a rally Monday, honored many of the founders of our nation. Unfortunately, Jefferson was not one of them.
Jefferson, an antifederalist, was one of the forerunners of the american republican party. It strikes the veteran as odd that this religious group, who sang the praises of George W. Bush at their rally, went on to publicly denigrate this bastion of party tradition. They held that Jefferson's policies were based on reason, and not faith. I am, again, amazed at the lack of historical knowledge put to use by a group attempting to portray the revolutionary period of history, and especially by the lack of a historical knowledge of their own shared party. The Virginia veteran thinks that maybe they should examine their own philosophy a bit more closely.
