BECK: This is American history. Here you go, gang. This is the stuff you're never ever going to be taught in school. This is the Constitution. This is the Declaration of Independence. Which do you want to start with? BARTON: Let's start with the signers of the "dec." That is a fun one. BECK: OK. So, this — the premise here is — remember, America, no, there is, nobody, they're not God-fearing people. We're not a country based in God or faith. No, no, no. No. Where do we start here? BARTON: Let's start with the overall group. Let's just — let me start with this book right here. This came out of Continental Congress. This is the rarest, one of the rarest books in America. That little jewel right there is the first Bible printed in English in America. BECK: Up here, one of the first Bibles printed in English. BARTON: English in America. And it was printed by those guys there. The Congress printed that Bible. And the original congressional documents say that the Bible is, quote, "a neat addition of the Holy Scripture for use of our schools," end quote. BECK: I'm sorry. What? BARTON: "A neat addition of the Holy Scripture for use of our schools," end quote. And in the front of that Bible has a congressional endorsement. (CROSSTALK) BECK: But everyone will tell you separation of church and state. BARTON: And that's what they wanted. They're the guys who came up with that. So, I think they know what the definition is. BECK: OK. How many of these are left? BARTON: There's 22 left in private hands. They printed 10,000 in Congress. And there's 22 left. And that's one of the 22 right there. BECK: OK. So, let me start now. There's Congress. Let me just get a big red marker here so people can see it. Here is the — here is the Continental Congress and they are getting ready to sign the Declaration of Independence. BARTON: That's Richard Henry Lee. He's the guy who made the recommendation we separate from Congress. It was really cool. When he died and his papers were passed on to his grandson, his grandson printed the papers in two volumes and they looked at the papers and said, isn't it cool that we had so many Christians together. And so, he's looking at the Founders' writings and that was the epitome of what Christian patriot looked like, Richard Henry Lee. BECK: Let me — let me ask you this, because when the left always paints Christians as hate-mongers. BARTON: Yes. BECK: These guys, George Washington — George Washington, I mean, he went, they were vigorous defenders of other faith — BARTON: Yes, you bet. BECK: — of Jewish religion of any other religion, right? BARTON: They were. One of the things you find is that that was a trait that they taught of Christianity. Christianity is not coercive. They said don't compare us to European Christianity. That was coercive. We're not. We believe that truth wins, you present the truth. That's fine. And so, you'll find that in the American Revolution, we had Jewish patriots, we had Christian patriots. We had Muslims here in 1619. We had the first Jewish synagogues 1654. These guys had no trouble with other religions but they didn't deny their own. BECK: Ben Franklin, he was asked — I think it was by Yale, you know this better than me. BARTON: Yes. BECK: Asked by Yale, what is the definition of American — the American religion? And he said, there is a God. BARTON: That's right. BECK: There is an afterlife. We'll have to answer for our sins in the afterlife. BARTON: That's right. BECK: And the best way to serve God is serve other people. BARTON: That's right. BECK: That doesn't sound like — I mean, that's not hate-mongers. foxnews.com

Of course you really don't have a clue what you are talking about. Ever wonder why Beck is so popular and o'slobber is losing it? Don't you wonder why the "supposed" leader of the free world (LOLOLOL) is spending half his time dissing Beck and Palin and Fox? He KNOWS they are telling the truth...liars like him cannot stand the light. his father is the father of lies. You are just like the rest of the socialists democrats in congress. You will lie without thought of even knowing how to tell the truth. You dumb asses have been caught in so many lies you sound like ted kennedy. The only way to save our country is to make sure losers like you are out of any sort of power in America.
