Glenn Beck and phony historian David Barton are charging $375 to teach college age students fake American history.

"I guarantee you the professors at college will have the wrong answer."

If ever there were a statement that should send you running and screaming away from this "offer" it is that one.

Here is more courtesy of The Friendly Atheist:  

We spend our mornings in a classroom-like setting and each afternoon we dig through online resources as well as our unique, original library. We will delve into topics such as:

• A Biblical Worldview 
• The Truth in History 
• America’s Godly Heritage 
• Early Education in America 
• How the Bible Influenced America 
• American Exceptionalism 
• God and the Constitution 
• Reclaiming the Land 

We will research our Founding Fathers, discovering their accomplishments, families, and faith, giving individual presentations at the end of each week. This is a specialized training for 18-25 year old.

We tend to give Glenn Beck a pass sometimes these days because he is an outspoken critic of Donald Trump.

However we need to remember that he is essentially just a shyster selling a damaged bill of goods just like Sarah Palin and even Trump himself.

And only thing that keeps him from being really dangerous is that fewer and fewer people are paying any attention to him.

New spooky anti-gay documentary features Mike Huckabee, James Dobson, Phyllis Schlafly, and even a little Louie Gohmert.

Ooh why is that lady in the woods? Isn't she worried about having her family values attacked by a free roaming homosexual?

I mean if you are suddenly forced to get gay married in the woods and nobody hears you does God still double dip you in a bubbling pool of magma?

And what in the hell were all of those uptight assholes flipping out about?

(And for fun how many of them tripped your gay-dar?)

Little Green Footballs identifies the participants and their agenda: 

Among the participants are Rep. Steve King, Rep. Trent Franks, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Rep. Tim Huelskamp, Sen. Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, David Barton, James Dobson, Mat Staver, Phyllis Schlafly, Scott Lively, Alveda King, Brian Camenker, Frank Pavone, Robert Knight, John Stemberger, and, of course, Porter herself, who can been seen walking around in the woods with a lantern, warning that gay activists are seeking to turn Christians into criminals.

So to be clear gay people who want to be married and to not be discriminated against are  actively attacking Christianity, and trying to silence the Gospels.

Oddly enough these are the same arguments trotted out against interracial marriage back in the 50's and 60's.

Some things never change. Especially when you take your cues from the Bible.

Sarah Palin speaks to audience in North Dakota about the impact of oil production on Christian education. I'm sorry, what? Update!

So yesterday Sarah Palin gave a speech at the Williston State College.

This is how local news outlet KQCD reported on the event: 

Religion, and her experiences with the oil and gas industry, were the focus of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's remarks in Williston tonight. 

Over a thousand people packed the Trinity Christian School to listen to the speech from the 2008 candidate for vice president. 

Palin spoke about coming to North Dakota and the importance of oil in the region. 

"(Former) Governor Palin is an oil field person as well," says Doug Black of the Trinity Christian School. "And, in fact, her husband Todd was involved in the oil field. And we wanted this to be an oil field theme. Plus, we know that she believes in Christian education, so the two were a great match for Trinity Christian School and the Bakken."

KXNews added this:  

Early in her presentation she spoke of previous time spent in North Dakota including her favorites: a UND hockey game and the Northern Lights this far 'south.' 

(Sarah Palin, Former Governor of Alaska)"Driving to and from North Dakota to see our son, I remember early, early one morning, it was very dark outside, everybody's asleep in the rig and I'm at the wheel and I am shocked to look up and see these spectacular Northern Lights in North Dakota. I had no idea.

The Daily Journal offered a bit more:

North Dakota embodies the "drill, baby, drill" mantra more than anywhere else and the state shares a kinship with Alaska, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said.  (Wait, she's still using "Drill, baby, drill?")

Palin made the remarks at a fundraising banquet for Williston, North Dakota's Trinity Christian School at Williston State College Monday night. "Drill, baby, drill" refers to the slogan Palin popularized during her 2008 run for the vice presidency and encourages the tapping of domestic oil and gas reservoirs. 

"Our states share a pioneering spirit," she told the crowd of several hundred, adding that the two states were also bonded by oil. "You feed America and you fuel America, North Dakota." 

She added: "The American dream is certainly alive and well here and we need that again, North Dakota."

The Journal also points out that Palin was joined at the event by the self educated wing nut "historian" David Barton, who is to history what Sarah Palin is to parenting. 

You know it is not often that I wish I had heard MORE of Sarah Palin speaking, but I have to confess that I have NO idea how she was able to conflate oil production with Christian education.

By the way if there is anything that Palin understands less than oil production, it is Christian education. Or really education of any kind.

Update: Palin weighed in on her North Dakota trip on Facebook.

It's mostly the same old crap as usual, but I did find this part sort of interesting: 

Special thanks to our friend Rob Port for keeping us updated over the years about North Dakota’s tremendous progress. Rob grew up in Alaska and was the little brother of my friend and basketball teammate, Katy Port. Back then “Robbie” was just a cute little kid coming with us on basketball trips, entertaining us with his toddler sense of humor. Now he's a big shot blogger in North Dakota with his "Say Anything" blog being the state's most popular political blog and one of the top conservative blogs in the nation!

Wait, so now she LIKES bloggers? When did that happen?

You know I am not positive, but I think that IM is the most popular political blog in Alaska, and we know she visits here several times a day, but did I ever get a shout out?

Not even once. Talk about discrimination.
