This event will be held in Seneca, SC on Jan. 21. And its press release is a hoot:
We Must Rise Up and Take Back Our State. For too long, silent Americans have watched their country inch toward an existence unrecognizable to its Founders. The time to act is now!
There’s a war raging. Christianity is under attack in our schools, workplaces, and governments. Silence is a decision to stand with the enemy. Inaction is a deathblow to the God-honoring principles our country was created to allow each citizen to enjoy. Will you stand by and let the very fabric of our country be stripped apart? Will you get in the fight, stand with those who stand for liberty, and join a movement of repentance, prayer, and revolution?
The time has come. The choice is yours. Join America’s leading constitutional scholar and Christian apologist Mat Staver for Liberty Counsel and Christian historian, David Barton at the South Carolina Awake!
Now if you want proof that this nonsense about "taking things back" is just lip service, take into account the state of South Carolina.
We have a Republican governor and Legislature. And the statewide Democratic party are in the middle of what can be termed as death throes. I'm interested to see just who Staver and Barton want to take the state back from, especially taking into account that neither of them are residents of South Carolina.
It gets more interesting:
David Barton will educate and inspire attendees about the Founding Era and America’s rich Godly heritage. Barton will look at the lives of many of the Founders and religious leaders who participated in the birth and establishment of the most literate, most productive and most powerful nation on earth.
Conveniently Barton will not talk about his habit of distorting history, his denigrating of the lgbt community via junk science, how Lawrence O'Donnell refuted him hard for it, and how he threw a "why are the homosexuals picking on me" tantrum afterwards.
And then:
Mat Staver will follow Barton’s presentation with a stirring message entitled, “Take Back America,” in which he will talk about the challenges and opportunities we have to preserve the legacy of liberty.
Of course Staver probably won't mention the exploits of his organization in the infamous Janet Jenkins vs. Lisa Miller case in which the Liberty Counsel not only tried to keep a child away from her lesbian mother but still continued to defend the other mother even after she kidnapped the child and ran away.
South Carolina definitely needs to awake in hopes of finding out that the event featuring Staver and Barton was just a simple nightmare.

Seneca? What is in Seneca to have this? Why would they have it in such an out-of-the-way place?
Coming to South Carolina? I thought SC was the state that exported it. :)
