So, who is the historical nitwit, the caller or Santorum? The French Revolution influencing the founders in the Declaration of Independence?

Santorum and the caller correctly said that America succeeded in part because the Founders believed their rights were God-given, while the French revolution put their trust in humanity and brotherhood.

One had a firm foundation; one did not.

No, the caller said that the French Revolution was going on at the same time. It was not. Our independence predates the French Revolution by 13 years.
