Today, we begin a new month of Founding Father’s Quote Friday! This month’s theme is LIBERTY. In other words, bloggers who are a part of the FFQF meme will choose quotes from the Founding Fathers consistent with this theme.

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.

Founding Father’s Quote (belated) Friday!
(My my. Yesterday was Friday? So soon? My apologies!) Here is today’s Favorite Founder’s Quote Friday on a Saturday. And today’s quote comes from our first President (that is, first president under the Constitution of the United States), General George Washington.

Founding Father’s Quote Friday: John Adams
Well, ladies and gentlemen, as I promised last week, here is the first of “Favorite Founder’s Quote Friday”! Today’s quote comes from John Adams, one of the greatest and most influential Founders.

Part Two: An Un-Biblical Revolution?
Before we discuss the text of the Constitution, the intent behind the text, and the testimony of the Founders themselves upon whether or not our nation was a Christian one, we must understand why our government began in the first place. Any ordinary schoolchild can tell you (with today’s public indoctrination camps, let me say [...]
What Do You Think, Mr. Webster?
What would Daniel Webster he were think about the War on “Terror”? I don’t think he’d approve of it. Not because he was ashamed of being an American, or because he liked Muslims, but because he was determined to preserve the Constitution. In fact, so well known was his stance, that he earned the title [...]
Happy Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress voted unanimously to adopt the final draft of the Declaration of Independence, which it had approved just two days earlier on July 2nd.
