ngl the direct gift of education that this was to me as a person born in dfw around this time was a motivator on me finally joining the patreon. that and the bonus eps. thank you for what you do, specifically in being a weirdly potent thing to recommend to dudes on the joe rogan cusp of radicalization in either direction. making the world leftier one driver at a time!

I feel like her and I would have been friends.

Hi, ACC. Really enjoyed your latest episode as always. I hope you were not electronically attacked by American atheists for what I'm going to suggest. Please note I have no sympathy for Ms. O'Hair. I could be wrong but whether she really believed in this fight or not I think she really just like being an a****** a really loud a******. That being said I think it would have been worth including in your episode that the addition of "under God” to the pledge of allegiance and "in God we trust" to our currency was indeed a complete violation of the Constitution and it happened in 1956 when Dwight Eisenhower spearheaded the push to add God so blatantly as a knee-jerk response to the godless red horde AKA the Russian communists. It was stupid it was wrong it was unconstitutional and I could go on bu won'tt . Thank you so much for all you do XOXOXO ACC in the Bronx

I was hoping for the ultimate plot twist that she was a secret devout Catholic like a reverse Mother Teresa lol
