I think it is very interesting that the biggest proponents of an idea of American exceptionalism want to remove the writer of the declaration of independence from a discussion on the Enlightenment.
And considering that conservative movements and even Gingrich and Schlafly became topics, I think it is pretty significant that a discussion on the separation of church and state was deemed not worthy of similar treatment.
And please, point to me the texts in "old sociology" where it is stated that people aren't responsible for their life choices.
The debate over "republic/democracy" and the ban on the word democracy is laughable at best.
Finally, the whole "free enterprise" vs "capitalism" debate is too Orwellian to take seriously.
