Crikey, what a looney. Does that mean people other than direct descendents of the Mayflower don't have a constitution ?

Surely the War of Independence created "Us" not the pilgrims.

The guy is out of line, sure, but look at context.

He is a politician at an evangelical event talking to evangelicals. So, he tells them what they want to hear. If he was in California it would probably be a very different line.

It would be nice if we could get some public officials with integrity but sadly, given the way mass popularity works I don't see that happening. I look forward to the day when we are governed by algorithm.
