My Lord. Is this FR? Or is this The Daily Beast/DU/MSNBC?
David Barton has FORGOTTEN more history than you will never know.
About Wallbuilders...
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that "the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."...
...WallBuilders' goal is to exert a direct and positive influence in government, education, and the family by (1) educating the nation concerning the Godly foundation of our country; (2) providing information to federal, state, and local officials as they develop public policies which reflect Biblical values; and (3) encouraging Christians to be involved in the civic arena.
You will find Barton is no kook.
Bou-ya!
That comment says a lot about you.
So called "inaccuracies." You should read Barton's rebuttul to his critics about the Jefferson lies.

David Barton would be the worst possible Republican candidate. He has a degree in Christian Education from Oral Roberts, not a history degree; yet he is touted as the best Christian historian in America. It has been clearly demonstrated he has falsified his histories - 55 Christian historians have signed a petition against his work! The Democrats would make mincemeat of him and discredit conservationism in the process.
In the loose sense of the word, they are. "Natural selection" (the underpinnings of Darwinism/evolution), has morphed itself into believing that if species can arise from species, then wind the clock back you can get organic material from inorganic. See Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell. The late 19th cent. scientists simply "believed" that spontaneous life arose from chemical reactions. Today, those clinging to this false belief system (and losing ground daily) are the true "religionists".

Which is essentially an anti-Christian hate site.
Yes, he would. Leftists would be doing brain-flips.

The David Barton Controversy - excellent summary of the whole situation behind his work by WORLD magazine.
Hear, Hear...it’s amazing that when a conservative uses facts that are purposefully not taught in schools because they would undermine liberal dogma, they’re automatically called kook, liar, etc. Exactly what the libofascists are!
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
Dear Jane, If you think that Ted Cruz is kookie, then you will definitely think that David Barton is kookie. They believe in the same things. They are both articulate and can handle hostile media with ease.
Dear Backwoods Engineer,
Most of the low information voters get their “news” from the Comedy Central. In order to reach them, our politicians need to be able to hold their own in that arena. If you take the time to listen to both parts of the 2012 interview, or go back to the 2011 interview, you will see that David Barton can more than hold his own in that arena.

And the more Conservative they are, the more “baggage” the left will either find or make up.
I don't think Ted Cruz OR David Barton are kookie. I admire and respect both of them, very much.
oh my goodness! That idea is actually brilliant!!!!
Can you IMAGINE!!!!???
I love it.
Can you do a draft Cruz 2.0 website?
I’m for that, also. I’m for Barton, I’m for Cruz. Or Gohmert. Whatever.
But someone needs to hurt Cornyn for backstabbing Cruz andn serving up figleaf votes.
From what I have gathered, Barton is not a liar, but he is guilty of choosing quotes out of context. For instance, Thomas Jefferson was indeed pro-Christian, and actually said at one point “I am a Christian...” but taken together with many of his other writings that Barton doesn’t talk about, it becomes clear that what Jefferson meant was that he admired and followed Jesus’ moral teachings and believed they were good for the nation...but he probably would never think of himself as a born-again believer washed in the blood of the savior.
Imagine the senior senator from Texas sponsoring his father, the junior senator from Texas, for his oath of office.
