As is becoming more and more apparent, our children are not being taught the truth about their own history, American History. I've been aware of the social engineering attempts going on in our country for some time now, but it became most obvious when so many young people seemed excited with the idea of Socialism. This should be a matter of concern, not only to me, but to all parents and grand parents. Because this can not being fluffed off as just some right wing conspiracy, this is actual. We watch as the barbarians we see on our TV's, blow up religious and historical artifacts, one after another. These are cherished ancient relics, works of art, being destroyed by barbarians, hell bent to destroy any artifact or reference to any historical event that doesn't share their ideology.
Well you say, those people are disgusting animals, and that could never happen here. And you would be right, but only in the fact that we wouldn't resort to barbarism, our attempts at scrubbing history are much more subtle than that. Our history is who we are, the good and the bad, but when you look to ignore it, or worse yet, attempt to change it, then it is no longer history, but something else, something sinister. In recent events, the Confederate flag was taken down from a state's capital, and rightly so, but to try and deny the historical significance of that part of our history is a mistake. We are who we are, the worst about us and the best. The general idea of these social engineer types, is to tell our children that we are not an exceptional country, in fact, we are not even a good country, and in reality, because we are the biggest, that we are nothing but a bunch of bullies beating up on the smaller countries. But where do these lies and misconceptions come from? Though there is nothing new in this mind set, and it is clear, now that Obama has made the curtain call for his apology tour, that it is President Obama who is the drum major with the big baton leading the parade. The apologies for America began with the Arab countries, with whose leaders he bowed. He apologized and made nice with comrade Fidel, and finally made our apologies to the Japanese people for having ended the most expensive war in the history of the world by using the atom bomb. For history's sake, it should be noted that at that time, the Japanese people were as fanatical about their Emperor, as were the German people towards Hitler. Fanatical to the point of fighting to the death. The full impact of that misguided will was made apparent on the island of Okinawa, the last island before the landing on the Japanese mainland. But for a hundred or so, the Japanese soldiers did fight to the death. Worse yet, so brainwashed were the Japanese people of Okinawa that the Americans were blood thirsty killers and rapists, that everyday citizens committed suicide in mass. The simple truth is, that as horrific a weapon as the bomb is, the decision to use it shortened the war, and saved the lives of millions.
Wanna hear something funny? This essay was to have been about evolution. But try as I might, the words weren't flowing, and I couldn't get it to sound right. So I'm thinking to myself, Uh oh, its finally happened, I must have writer's block? Then I realized that it was because the subject itself is so incredibly stupid, that there was no way to explain it logically.
