Well, regardless of whether he said it or not, it sure sounds sensible. :)

Did George Washington say he couldn't tell a lie and that it was him that cut down the cherry tree?

I had no idea how much history had been scrubbed from school books until I started watching Glenn Beck's show. It's astounding ... and sickening at the same time. :shock:

Ok smitty lets put old Beck to the test . Has he ever said that the pope is the anti-Christ . All the reformers said the pope was the anti-Christ including Martin Luther , Calvin , etc. ?
