"And let me conjure you, in the name of our common country--as you value your own sacred honor--as you respect the rights of humanity, and as you regard the military and national character of America, to express your utmost horror and detestation of the man who wishes, under any specious pretences, to overturn the liberties of our country, and who wickedly attempts to open the floodgates of civil discord, and deluge our rising empire in blood." --George Washington, 1783

Never had much regard for Falwell, or for that matter, his nemesis of Hustler fame, Flynt. It is worthy of note that after the supreme court landmark case (oops, I didn't capitalize supreme) these two strange bedfellows of politics became chums.
Still they remained, each one, at his end of the idiot spectrum. Falwell was however at least as good a thinker and speaker as William Jennings Bryan.
Although Falwell did not believe in evolution and took the Bible to be the literal and unalterable word of God, he had been heard to say the Religious Right had evolved. Go figure.
Who says two wrongs can't make a right?
