FYI – (sorry for the non-sequitur) The new Thomas Jefferson Hour Podcast reviews/rebuts David Barton’s book and “academic” method pretty well. Worth a listen for independent confirmation from a Jefferson Scholar. The Podcast Episode is called “The Jefferson Truths” (Part 1 of 2) The TJ Hour
@ Patrick … The blog isn’t mislabeled. It’s just prematurely labeled. It’s going to be the companion blog to a weekly podcast called “This Week in Christian Nationalism” that I will be launching sometime in the not too distant future. I had originally planned to launch the podcast last summer when I started the blog, but decided to finish some other projects first. I wrote a post explaining this when I started this blog, but if you’re new here you wouldn’t know that so I can see how the name wouldn’t make any sense, since I’m not blogging here on any set schedule yet.
Chris Rodda is the author of Liars For Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version of American History and Debunking David Barton's Jefferson Lies: #2 - Jefferson Founded a Secular University. Since the release of Liars For Jesus in 2006, Chris has been blogging at Talk2Action.org, Huffington Post, and elsewhere about the use of historical revisionism in everything from education to legislation. Chris's blog on Freethoughtblogs.com will eventually accompany a weekly podcast, "This Week in Christian Nationalism," if Chris can ever find the time to launch it. In the meantime, the name of her blog will continue to make no sense.
Chris is also the Senior Research Director for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), but the opinions expressed by her on this blog are her personal opinions, and not necessarily those of MRFF.

This blog is mislabeled. There isn’t any kind of weekly format at all.
