Rand Paul has no understanding of medieval history (BOOM!)

At a recent public event, Senator Rand Paul (Republican, Kentucky) told a crowd that from “Boston to Zanzibar, there’s a worldwide war on Christianity,” which our government is propping up. The way the followers of Christ are under attack today, Paul says, it’s “almost as if we lived in the Middle Ages.’’

Um… the “Middle Ages” is a term used to describe Europe from approximately 476-1350 CE. During that time, Christianity reigned supreme in Europe. It was not a time that Christians were under attack. The Middle Ages were a time when Christians were ON the attack against unbelievers!

Or to put it more simply: Rand Paul, the great mind of the Republican Party, don’t know shit.
