What think ye now?

Hercules Mulligan — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:37:00 +0000

At long last, The Foundation Forum has moved to its own domain, and my old blog Meet the Founding Fathers has moved with it. (Thank you, Mrs. M!) It should not be too long before I get blogging again; there is still so much to write about, and so many post series I have to [...]

Good News From Oklahoma

Hercules Mulligan — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:37:42 +0000

I periodically get emails from David Barton’s group Wallbuilders, and this morning I was pleasantly surprised to find such an email in my inbox. It concerns a state representative from Oklahoma named Sarah Kern. Probably never heard of her on the “fair-and-balanced” Fox News Channel. If you did, it probably wasn’t very positive (or extensive) coverage. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hercules Mulligan — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:55:00 +0000

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Adblock (HT: New York Traveler) I wish our American culture placed more emphasis on this celebration, than on Halloween, or even Christmas (if we want to celebrate the birthday of Christ, why don’t we do it on the day He was born — which was in the early spring — rather than [...]

Did the Founders Mean What They Said? Part One

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:14:21 +0000

While over the past three posts, we have examined the definition of “Christian nation” applicable in the American case, the biblical grounding for our Revolution, and the biblical slogan of our Revolution, we shall henceforth commence the study of whether or not our founding documents themselves are founded on biblical principles — but first, a [...]

The Declaration of Dependence

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:21:08 +0000

This is a slight diversion from my serious of posts on the “Christian nation” thesis. I would like to make all my readers aware of a unique opportunity made available to them by one of my favorite blogs, written by Stephen Palmer, a free-lance writer and author, who joined my Friends of Liberty blogroll some [...]

Part Three: The Motto of the American Revolution

Hercules Mulligan — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 04:22:41 +0000

After an extended absence, I shall now briefly resume the discussion on the subject of whether or not the United States was founded as a Christian nation. After reviewing the definition of a Christian nation (and which definition applies in our case), and the biblical cause of our American Revolution, we shall now examine the [...]

Thoughts on Theocracy and America

Hercules Mulligan — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 04:25:52 +0000

In the debate surrounding the issue of America as a Christian nation, those opposing the Christian nation thesis, or those who desire a separation of the influence of Christians over the institutes of the state, have accused the “anti-separationists” (those who oppose the contemporary view of “separation of church and state” and advocate that the [...]

… that a new flag be created for the State of New York, viz.: “The golden dollar signs indicate the sanctity and value of the Almighty Dollar (a term coined by New-Yorker Washington Irving), which the almighty state legislature hath, by enactment hereof, deified. The Latin motto beneath the dollar signs, which reads “Vectigalis Excelsior” translates [...]

Homeschooling: The Most Effective Way to Change this Nation

Hercules Mulligan — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 04:34:58 +0000

Especially around the time of elections, we hear much about the need for Christians to vote. While it is true that Christians take their civil responsibility and vote, voting is not our ONLY civil responsibility. I think that over the past several years, we in the so-called “religious right” have put far too much emphasis [...]
