Good stuff.<BR/><BR/>I do have to correct Irl in his post, however. It wasn't John Adams who <I>ratified</I> the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. Rather, the treaty was ratified unanimously by the Senate.

It does not and should not. <BR/><BR/>To be sure, Barton was named by Time Magazine’s 25 most influential evangelicals in 2005 yet even folks from his side of the house find his work sadly lacking. <BR/><BR/>One wrote: <BR/>“Barton is clearly more interested in current cultural squabbles than he is in history. Put simply, Barton is a bad historian. In fact he has no training as a historian -- his BA., from Oral Roberts University, is in math education. He retrieves only those aspects of history that, often taken out of context, match his emphasis on America’s Christian identity. And by levying ad hominem attacks on his detractors, he remains outside genuine historical discussion.”<BR/><BR/>And where did I find this? <BR/><BR/>On Page 22 of “Christian Century,” October 31, 2006, that's where. <BR/><BR/>It was written by Kurt W. Peterson, PhD., teacher of history at North Park University in Chicago.Lumberjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592823912945967142noreply@blogger.com
