The John Witherspoon part was interesting. How an essay entitled with the name of American Founding Father Rev. John Witherspoon ends up in the same essay as Carl McIntire
a firebrand fundamentalist radio evangelist who railed against communism, liberalism, racial integration, sex education, evolution and water fluoridation from his broadcast pulpit
Witherspoon-to-McIntire is an intriguing thesis, Darryl, and I actually understand how your Calvinist theology links a Presbyterian Founding Father to a Presbyterian racist anti-fluoridation creationist via "Two Kingdoms" theology.
