America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President

When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.

Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.

At the kink the kind of solid, fact-based work David Barton is known for an which makes the ungodly liberal media VERY, VERY nervous! That's why the "powers that be" are on the attack against one of America's great scholars.

We may never know who "got to" Thomas Nelson Publishers and what the company was threatened with. But my guess is that there was some bullying involved -- perhaps by the Obama regime's IRS.

What we DO know is that right-thinking Americans will stand with David Barton. Go out today and buy "The Jefferson Lies" while you still can! Let's do for David Barton what we did for Chick-Fil-A! Let 'em see the LONG LINES of people at bookstores demanding the right to purchase Barton's ground-breaking book!

David Barton is a class act. His wealth of knowledge about the real history verses history revisionism is incredable. The left has no shame when someone talks with facts. God Bless David and yes we need to post this everywhere and stand in support with him

Here- Here- David Barton just reads from original founder’s documents and da Dems go nuts. Try this one “David Barton - 02/29/2012 -America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President “ When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic.

I have read a few of his books (not the Jefferson one yet - but now I will get it quickly) and found them well researched and written. I did not know about the Thomas Nelson deal, but in looking at the Amazon “reviews” it seems to be a liberals gone wild situation.

I find it amazing how all these negative reviewers on Amazon have so much time to buy/obtain, read and critique so many Conservative and/or Christian books, sometimes before they are even available for distribution.

I am thinking about organizing a “buy in” of that book at my local Barnes and Noble. We sit in the store till they agree to sell us all the copies they have.

Publisher pulls Barton's book on Jefferson

[slumber1]

David Barton is a fraud and now even conservative Christian historians are challenging him

The David Barton controversy

[joethedrummer]

Barton is a fraud? Why, because lefties who hate him say so? I’ve gone through your linked article and as many ‘reviews’ of the book as I can stand.
NOBODY gives any evidence of WHAT is wrong exactly; only vague statements like “he pulls facts out of his -—..”

THIS article heading up this thread is EXACTLY about folks like you, bro. It’s Chick-Fil-A, book version, all over again.
What FACTS do you have supporting your claim that Barton is a fraud? Or is it that you just don’t like the guy?

[bayouranger]

BUMP!

[slumber1]

I am a political conservative and a Christian. I will not embrace lies even when they are meant to support a particular world view. I am also a student of history and as such I know that anyone who tries to make Jefferson look like a Christian is either blind, stupid or has an agenda. In the case of Mr. Barton, my money is on the later.

If you want facts, there are plenty available. You might start with this work by a couple of conservative Christian scholars > Getting Jefferson Right: Fact Checking Claims about Our Third President

Then check out this video The Hidden Faith of Our Founding Fathers

Both the book and the video give many examples of Barton taking quotes out of context to make the founders say things they did not say.

Here is David Barton's response to some of his critics. The vociferous nature of these attacks seems very much like a coordinated liberal onslaught. You rarely see this level of vitriol for a history book. And the hate-filled, foaming at the mouth reviews on Amazon are priceless comedy.

The Jefferson Lies: Taking on the Critics

I bought a copy last night because of their personal attacks against Barton. I'm sure he appreciates the free publicity. I had not even heard of the book until the left got involved. I may go back for a few more to give as gifts if they continue this infantile behavior.

God Bless our friends on the left, and give them the peace they so desperately need.

[whattajoke]

The vociferous nature of these attacks seems very much like a coordinated liberal onslaught.

Even the measured, carefully thought-out criticisms from conservative christian scholars and historians?

Sorry, Barton has stepped in it big time and his lack of scholarship and "creative" use of quote-mining is biting him. Continuing to defend him at this point is akin to the DC dopes who keep supporting Marion Barry.

Barton is on GBTV now. Watch and learn.

[bootless]

I agree completely about David Barton - a fine man. He is on GBTV right now, talking for the entire hour about this. You can get a free two-week subscription and watch it on-demand later - well worth it.

I understand that Thomas Nelson will not allow the book to be sold or distributed now ... I *believe (not 100% sure) that they took about 20K words out of the book, so you can’t get the original book through the normal channels.

I didn’t realize I was getting a collector’s edition of The Jefferson Lies when he signed it for me at the Blaze Bookstore at Restoring Love in Dallas. We had been interviewed for Wallbuilders Live two years ago by Rick Green, and he and David Barton recorded an intro and outro to the interview after our phone interview was completed. I was tickled to be able to chat with him about that a little - he is a good man, no doubt about it.

This is shameful.
