FFQF: Alexander Hamilton on Moral Authority
In the last three months, our FFQF meme has explored the themes of liberty, virtue, and the importance of motherhood, and by following that order we have been systematically exploring the ultimate foundations upon which the American form of government rests. All this talk of liberty (as a just form of government), virtue (as the [...]
FFQF: Alexander Hamilton on Motherhood
Today, we will not focus so much on the importance of motherhood to good society and government, as we will focus on how our Founders, one in particular, valued the role of mothers and the faithfulness of their own wives to that role. One of the most under-estimated Founding Mothers was Elizabeth Hamilton, wife of [...]
The Real Story of the Founders and the Illuminati, Part 2
What was the philosophy of the Illuminati, and were the Founders co-conspirators? Exactly how did they respond to it? We left off, in our last installment, discussing the argument, concerning the coinciding dates of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the Order of the Illuminati. We have proven that our Revolution had no [...]
FFQF: Alexander Hamilton on Virtue
I have to admit, that while the themes of liberty and virtue are terrific, and it has been a thrill for me to participate in examining them along with other FFQF bloggers, looking at how our nation fails to measure up to these standards can be very depressing. So today, I am going to include [...]
FFQF: Alexander Hamilton on Liberty
Again, we take up the discussion of LIBERTY. The following quotation comes from Alexander Hamilton’s powerful pamphlet, The Farmer Refuted (1775). It is one of his most fascinating pieces, and I have often called it an expanded form of the Declaration of Independence, written nearly a year before Jefferson started writing it. I highly recommend [...]

It’s preamble expounded its purpose: WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the [...]
FFQF: Alexander Hamilton — Again!
It’s Friday again! Thank God It’s Friday, because today is Founding Fathers Quote Friday. Again, today’s quote comes from Alexander Hamilton, as did last week’s. Normally, I wouldn’t quote from a Founder twice in a row, but I didn’t know how much longer I could wait until I shared one of my favorites. The following [...]
FFQF: Alexander Hamilton
It’s Friday again! — Founding Father’s Quote Friday! Next month, we will be focusing on specific themes. Each month will have it’s own theme, and each Friday’s quote of that month will have a different Founder expounding on that theme. Today’s quote comes from Alexander Hamilton. His writings on government, history, and human nature are [...]
AHI Inaugural Colloquium on Gerrit Smith and George Fitzhugh
Hello dear readers. Obviously, I have not been blogging for a while, but I trust I will resume within several weeks. Life during this part of the year is typically busy for me, as with other bloggers. Believe me, I am very far from running out of posts! But in the mean time, I would [...]
Revisionism: How It Works, Why Its Claims Are False, and What Can Be Done to Stop It
Revisionism, though not a harsh-sounding word, is bringing about harsh consequences in our nation. Revisionism, in the negative sense of the word, is the manipulation and distortion of accurate historical record and evidence, usually to fit a selfish political agenda. This is precisely what is happening in the United States. One of the areas in [...]
