I think the failing schools have left the public with a horribly inadequate understanding of history. Both American history and the history of Western civilization. The Marxists wallpaper over biology, history, religion, and reality itself. Understanding any of those subjects is fatal to the continued existence of the modern left.Rafe wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 4:18 pm What has the 21st century wrought? On a forum that deals with a different subject matter, someone posted a week ago about Senator and, for a brief period, Vice President Henry Wilson (1812 - 1875). The poster was astounded and flabbergasted that Wilson was a Republican and yet a strong opponent of slavery! A Republican! He posted how unbelievable that was and how the guy must have faced never-ending political battles over that affiliation.
I had to give a brief education about the political party of Abraham Lincoln, the majority party of Congress during Johnson's term (the Congress that fought against the so-called "Black Codes" of states that sought to limit the civil rights of freedmen and eventually voted to impeach Johnson over it, at least in part), and the political party of the next four presidents, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur. It wasn't the Democratic party that led the government during emancipation, the Reconstruction, and Post-Reconstruction. Those were Republicans.
But what the heck. Who cares about the facts when you can be a lemming and believe all the pap coming out of the MSM and social media? Who cares about truth? Who cares about justice?
Up, up, and away!
Traveling to Europe there are "walls" everywhere. But somehow America is wrong to have a wall...
