The quote attributed to Washington is incomplete and somewhat erroneous.

You are correct. The actual quote from George Washington was very, very, VERY much different - "The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian doctrine."

Let's all just agree that Jerry Falwell is irrelevant and has been for years and find something more topical to discuss.

I can agree with that, Falwell was never one of my favorite people.

The major blows to conservatism, culminating in the election and programs of Obama, have been fourfold: the failure of military force to achieve U.S. foreign policy objectives; the inanity of trying to substitute will for intellect, as in the denial of global warming, the use of religious criteria in the selection of public officials, the neglect of management and expertise in government; a continued preoccupation with abortion; and fiscal incontinence in the form of massive budget deficits, the Medicare drug plan, excessive foreign borrowing, and asset-price inflation.

This is indeed a problem, but this particular problem doesn't describe the state of Conservatives. It describes the state of Republicans.

There is an important difference.

"They seem only to be interested in releasing things that really paint American in a negative light and don't give the American people a full picture of what went on," she said.

Yeah, like the part just before the pictures are taken where the detainees go "Hey, you know what would be really fun?"
