There have been some pretty strange assertions over the past couple of years about our founding fathers. Politifact has a piece up which collects some of them and rates them for their accuracy. Here is a classic:
"By the word religion in the First Amendment, the founders meant Christianity."

Uh, no they did not.
I will always be amazed at the fervor on display by conservatives in regards to the founding fathers. They feel as though they have some sort of deep and special connection with them. More troubling is their invention (quite literally out of their ass) of what the founding fathers really believed.
Do they think that people aren't capable of picking up a book and verifying their assertions?
