The War Over American History

The roots of today’s symbolic war over the teaching and meaning of American history go back decades, and have passed the point of irreconcilable differences. Here’s to those devoted to keeping the patriotic, truth-based side of this battle going. From July 2021.

Happy Memorial Day.

“Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin

My schooling on history ended with the Civil War. Nothing happened after that /s/
So I read and studied myself. Earning the rank of conspiracy theorist in the process.

We’ve raised a (maybe two+?) generation of children (required to be) educated in public school, unable to speak/read English, who’ve been given Bowdlerized/Socialist-Progressive versions of Amer Hist to learn and parrot – to our grave misfortune.

History is just a series of conspiracies. There is no theory to it, that’s just facts.

Lots of graduations this weekend. Lots of smiles & proud parents & photo ops.

Lots of gifts & cards have gone out to the – future. Feeling conflicted…what do I write on the cards? Congrats on your indoctrination? Congrats – you need to dump EVERYTHING you learned for the past 12 years? Best wishes on your journey into yet another indoctrination center? Congrats on going into debt for a worthless degree? Congrats – you don’t have a country anymore?

Which sounds MOST positive??

Tell ’em to go get a government job-that’s about the only thing they can handle.

The truth, the way, the life. That’s all that remains worth pursuing. Blessed are we.
