America's 200-year War with Terror – November 12, 2004 – A single line in the first Treaty of Tripoli (ratified June 10, 1797) is often cited as incontrovertible evidence that our founders self-consciously denied any attachment to the Christian religion, and that there is a radical separation between religion and civil government.

Hind-sight Omniscience – June 12, 2007 – A recent New York Times article dismissed the value of the quadricentennial of the founding of Jamestown because, quoting Columbia University history professor Kenneth Jackson, it was nothing more than “a town that disappears in the mud.” The Virginia Gazette published an article entitled “Jamestown not worth it,” which ridiculed the efforts of the original colonists for their lack of sustained accomplishments.
