Mittens (Mitt Romney) and Huckster (Mike Huckabee) have once again been running their gobs this weekend, trying to make John Adams sound like a Christian (along with all the other founders). They always haul out his adjurations to "God Almighty" and "religion" without reading the context (hint: by "religion" he meant "natural moral law"). I'm an Adams buff and any Adams historian can tell you that the contention he was a fundamentalist Christian is utter crap (He was a Unitarian, incidentally). They always leave out his far more specific and pointed comments such as:
