Wow....where did that come from?

-—Cotton Mather went to Harvard—

LOL...to think modern day liberals assume the intellectual mantle of Cotton Mather is akin to my cat thinking he is Einstein...

I've read Increase and Cotton Mather books and they are very tough to read because of the old english and the deep and profound thinking found within

I am almost sure if those two giants of their era know progressive liberals were standing on their shoulders they would be highly disturbed

He says the Puritans believed in freedom for only God's elect?

He hasn't heard that their descendents helped write the Constitution?
