    Yes thank you you are actually correct here I did in fact conflate the two.

    I appreciate you pointing this out in a constructive and meaningful way.

    Ultimately the point that I was trying to make is that a Preger is an idiot.

    Him telling people that they need to do historical research on the American flag is the quintessential epitome of the pot calling the kettle black.

      oh totally - it’s just that the myth making of US history isn’t new, and part of why these grifters get away with this nonsense is that there’s been a fertile plot of bullshit for a long time.

      But yeah, no, America was not founded as a “Christian nation”. Anyone thinking that is ignoring the Jefferson Bible, or the Treaty of Tripoli.
