Anyone of /lit/ read this book? I know it is highly controversial but is it rooted in truth or myth? I know some people vigorously support this book while others dismiss it as complete and utter clap trap? What is it though, being as objective as possible?

This has a forward by Glenn Beck. I'd toss it in the mulch pile.
Jefferson was a weird self contradictory kind of guy. He had his good points and bad. It was a different time. Glenn Beck has no excuses

I'm an anarchist. Glenn Beck is a liberal ("classical") Mormon conspiracy theorist.
A racist and an idiot. He makes Alex Jones look smart.
Stop bringing crap to our doorstep, anon.

>In 1995, in response to criticism by historian Robert Alley, Barton conceded, in an online article titled "Unconfirmed Quotations",[3] that he had not located primary sources for 11 alleged quotes from James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and U.S. Supreme Court decisions (hence, the title of the article), but maintained that the quotes were "completely consistent" with the views of the Founders. (By 2007, the article listed 14 unconfirmed quotations.)[60]

Why would any historian write a book without using primary sources? That's like a judge using hearsay in court.

>The founders declared the separation of church and state is a myth
