Why Are We Surprised?

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:03:28 +0000

On Tuesday the radio talk-show host Glenn Beck discussed on his daily program the stunning results of a recent poll (the first national survey of its kind) testing the knowledge of American adults of their knowledge of the American Revolution and its principles. From the American Revolution Center, which conducted the survey: The survey questions addressed [...]

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. [...]

FFQF: Can Legislation and Reason Change America's Moral Climate?

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:00:00 +0000

To hear so many public figures, or even ordinary people who publicly sound their opinions, say it, many might answer “yes” to the above question. So many people, on all sides of any issue, see so many wrongs in a country, including ours, that need to be corrected. It seems to be the fashion these [...]

FFQF: Posterity! (That's us)

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:42:00 +0000

Allow me to relieve my fellow bloggers and loyal readers: no, I have not yet been deported for sedition, thankfully. I am quite alive and well. A bit under the weather, and certainly very much preoccupied with an increased number of projects, but well. I would like to heartily thank those who have kept up [...]

FFQF: Does One Size Fit All?

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:12:00 +0000

After an absence from this blog, and from my own meme “Founding Father’s Quote Friday,” I now resume my pen typewriter. I also apologize (do I do that more than I blog, I wonder?) to my readers and to FFQF participants. My absence was the result of necessity. Today, we pose the question “Does one size [...]

FFQF: America Was NOT Self-Made

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:41:00 +0000

If there is one thing America could use now, it’s an attitude of gratitude. Maybe a major factor in America’s straying is the thinking that we have entertained for several decades, is that we made ourselves great, and that therefore, America’s destiny and purpose was ours to carve. Contrary to what our humanist history books [...]

FFQF: What Was the American Revolution?

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 04:00:00 +0000

Today, John Adams will answer that question for us. His answer comes from a letter written to an early American historian by the name of Hezekiah Niles, dated February 13, 1818. Several of Niles’ invaluable texts on American history are available for reading and searching here. But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do [...]

FFQF: Ben Franklin

Hercules Mulligan — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:36:00 +0000

Ben Franklin died this day, on April 17, 1790. So today we will cite a great quote from him: Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power. From Poor Richard’s Almanac (1734) Loss of liberty was no accident in our country. Nor was it the fault of corrupt politicians alone. We sold our virtue [...]
