David Barton - Know Thy Enemy

[Freedom_from_Chains]

I do wonder why all these guys who are real big in the Christian Nationalist movement all look like the kids we use to beat up for their lunch money at the bus stop when I was in school. Maybe we shouldn't have done that as it appears they are still pissed off.


Author and historian David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization which distributes historical, legal, and statistical information; and helps citizens become active in their local schools and communities. WallBuilders is a name taken from the Bible book of Nehemiah. And just as Nehemiah led a grassroots movement in Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of that city and restore its strength and honor; so, too, WallBuilders seeks to energize the grassroots today to rebuild that which makes America strong—its constitutional, moral, and religious foundations.

David’s exhaustive research (from original writings) on the Founding Era has rendered him an expert in this field, and consequently he serves as consultant to state and federal legislators; has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court; was involved in the development of the History/Social Studies standards for both Texas and California students; and has contributed to projects and legislation set forth by countless other groups, individuals, and legislators across the country.

David is the author of numerous works and this information has been directly implemented to reclaim the original intent of our Founding Fathers in the areas of faith and family. David speaks to hundreds of groups each year across the nation, and appears on numerous television and radio programs to communicate the truth regarding our country’s religious roots and the role individuals can play in reclaiming our spiritual heritage. David is currently breaking ground in the African-American community with his presentations, American History in Black and White. His heart for ministers has paved the way for exclusive Congressional Pastors’ Briefings on Capitol Hill where hundreds of clergy have been impacted by some of the country’s top conservative political leaders in these educational and informative sessions.

David holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oral Roberts University and an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Pensacola Christian College. He has been a recipient of national and international awards including Who’s Who in Education and DAR’s highest award, the George Washington Honor Medal. His work in media and the educational medium have merited several Angel Awards, Telly Awards, and the Dove Foundation Seal of Approval.

David and his wife Cheryl have three grown children, Damaris, Timothy, and Stephen, and reside in Aledo, TX.
