I just want to say that I was in public education and believe they did a good job of teaching history to me. Not sure what they are doing that is PC....

 

To stay on topic though, I am afraid we will probably .see more of this as the day goes on.

Or you just don't know and are trying to snake your way out of it now.

But writers write history.

 

Ah, yes, and too often it is written in the eyes of the beholder and those eyes are not without prejudice. That is why we rarely rely on one report to ascertain truth. For example, the 1960s as described by Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers, is quite different than the same period as described by one who was not a terrorist.

I'm not particularly impressed with your credentials. Do you teach actual history or the politically correct history that has infiltrated our more recent editions? I assume you are employed by the public schools.

I hope not, but there are idiots everywhere.

Thanks

Voter intimidation is always wrong, where it be with the threat of violence or with other scare tactics. However, anyone that thinks that either Obama or McCain would promote that type of behavior needs to come down off of their partisan high horse.

Indeed so and I certainly make no apologies.

History has always been written by the victors or those in charge. I agree that there is an attempt, even in private schools, to spin history. Sometimes I think I have gone crazy as I remember history differently than my kids talk about.

Excellent points.

Let's end talking about each other or this thread will end.

Thank you!!!

Ok, in the spirit of trying to be fair, I was listening to the radio this morning and a guy was on the line saying that there were people outside a polling place wearing white sheets. It goes both ways, no doubt.

 

I don't remember anyone saying Obama was behind this. Fact is, the Black Panthers are going to be supporters of Obama, doesn't mean he had anything to do with it, but they are his supporters just as the idiots in the white sheets are most likely McCain supporters.

I would be curious to know if the two Black Panthers will be officers in Obama's 250,000 civilian task force.
