I do think you guys have done a good job with the blog since I left. In 2011 I plan on being a lot more active, but I prefer my role as a commentator to that of a contributor.Lindsey Shumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536959819608584779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-81771294449853996082011-01-01T15:32:41.125-07:002011-01-01T15:32:41.125-07:00You guys can sing RutherFRAUD's praises all yo...You guys can sing RutherFRAUD's praises all you want but when will you admit the FACT that his "research" for this video was probably non-existent?

I applaud him.Jason Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233796281520274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-75981937401240809152010-12-31T22:21:27.634-07:002010-12-31T22:21:27.634-07:00I completely agree, Tom, but I think I'll let ...I completely agree, Tom, but I think I'll let Lindsey's comments stand so that everyone can see the ilk for themselves. It's a shame because I think Mr. Rutherford really is sincere in his quest for historical integrity. Yeah, he messed up and has been called on it, but hey, it happens to us all. As you can all tell from my post, I made it clear that my goal was to correct the history, not libel Mr. Rutherford as a liar or something along those lines. <br /><br />As for the blue, I'm not sure I know what you are referring to, Tom. Do you mean the pinkish bar at the very top? I'd like to add some additional blue. I do think that is a good idea. <br /><br />As for staring up a real discussion here, let's do it. Who cares what others are going to say. And Lindsey, how about being cool or sitting this one out. Sound like a plan?Brad Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669677047039491864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-42558911578938079952010-12-31T22:11:43.318-07:002010-12-31T22:11:43.318-07:00I had a lot of substance to add to the matter of R...I had a lot of substance to add to the matter of Rev. Rutherford, but I refuse to participate anywhere the environment is adversarial, scornful, if not downright hateful. We---all of us, contributors and commenters alike---have worked too hard to make this blog a safe haven for honest, sincere and principled discussion.<br /><br />The chance to engage Pastor Rutherford here at AC is probably now lost. He gets enough hate and ugliness from other quarters, I imagine.<br /><br />There are plenty of other blogs that gratify hate and ugliness. May I suggest <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/" rel="nofollow">this one.</a> Knock yourself out. <br /><br />Me, I like the new look. Well done. Maybe some deep dark American-flag blue at the top where the beige-y things are. <br /><br />Should you choose to wipe these first 4 comments and start over, Brad, I'll be happy to restart the discussion on Rev. Rutherford, on substance about religion and the Founding. <br /><br />If you'd prefer to let them stand as a monument as to how worthless this blog would be under our erstwhile management and hate and culture war, I'm good with that too. <br /><br />Happy New Year to our little community at the American Creation blog---contributors AND commenters, everybody. We've created something very special together here, all of us, through good will and a lot of hard work.<br /><br />Sort of how they designed the American Founding. The whole thing only works if everybody can behave theirself. <br /><br />HNY, American Creation!Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-57745956212654953512010-12-31T22:07:33.521-07:002010-12-31T22:07:33.521-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-42761987203857894732010-12-31T17:14:02.333-07:002010-12-31T17:14:02.333-07:00I like how DUMBdley's apology included everyth...I like how DUMBdley's apology included everything but the fact that he did little or no research for his video. He got caught for producing terrible history and is backtracking now. I wouldn't be surprised if he read a David Barton book or something and thought to himself, "hey, I could be like him." Well, is is like him. Like Barton DUMBdley has produced bad history. He wanted to produce a patriotic, God-loving video and ended up creating a farce. <br /><br />And I do remember something about him and Glenn Beck. I'll look it up.<br /><br />P.S. I hate the blog's new look. Go back to the classy look.Lindsey Shumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536959819608584779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-45980213440216676882010-12-31T16:26:46.059-07:002010-12-31T16:26:46.059-07:00Well, he told me himself so you can take it up wit...Well, he told me himself so you can take it up with him, but my guess is Mr. Rutherford knows his schedule better than we.Brad Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669677047039491864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-45939612399221742182010-12-31T16:00:57.060-07:002010-12-31T16:00:57.060-07:00I am pretty sure that DUMBdley Rutherford is going...I am pretty sure that DUMBdley Rutherford is going to be on Beck's show.
