I could write a thousand posts right now, so let me stay focused. I am having a thought right now, and it needs attention.
I am so upset at how many young people and even people of color, are being duped into a new understanding of American History. This has come to my attention more recently as people are rising up and openly defying our country.
Years ago, I watched a documentary made by Dinesh D'Souza. Dinesh is a genius. We had seen him in a debate against Christopher Hitchens before this documentary came out. He did an excellent job, and in the opinion of many, he won the debate (though that was debatable by some!).
So, in this documentary we were watching, Dinesh informed us that we were being taught that America was an illegitimate nation, because she stole land from the Indians and owned slaves. Well, I had not heard that before and had to process that thought.
Many years have gone by and I actually see the fruit of that teaching in people I know, sadly. Recently, the 1619 Project has been published and is now being taught in the schools. If you don't know what this project is, please research it on the Internet. It stands on the premise that rather than America having its beginning in 1776, America really began in 1619 when the first slave ship arrived in America.
There are embellished teachings in our school systems and colleges now which inform us that America was formed for the sole purpose of building a slave nation. Older people know this isn't true, but the younger Americans really have no clue. I have a lot of questions I am asking myself now. Did we not teach American History to our children? Did our children's curriculum include History on slavery? Did we teach the children the real reasons why and how America came into being? I am not quite sure anymore.
One of the things that was missing from our teaching was Communism. At least, I don't remember teaching Communism to our children. I taught History in a co op and I don't ever remember teaching about Communism or any countries that were Communist. What we did, and we did well at, was teaching our children about Islam. We taught them about the religion of Islam as well as the activities and schemes of Islamic Terrorists. We knew they were a threat to our country's freedom, so we prepared them for fear of Islamic takeover, should that happen.
But Communism wasn't something we taught to our children. We didn't see it as a threat, or forgot about the Cold War or the Cuban Missile Crisis. We didn't teach them about how some of the people who were trying to get to the United States by boat to escape Communist Cuba didn't make it. Some did, and they tell their stories of the horrors of living under Communism. We weren't aware of how hard it is to live in North Korea today, unless we read publications like 'The Voice of the Martyrs'. The Mainstream Media doesn't seem to see any reason for broadcasting what its like to live there. Of course, no one can get into North Korea to see how bad it is there for they have closed themselves off to the rest of the world.
History has been rewritten, and the lies concerning our country have been taught for the past 45 years or more in our public schools. More and more publications are coming out with these lies.
You might ask, why is this such a big deal? Well, you know we have 2 main political parties running against each other for presidency. But its not like we have two good guys, both with a love for our country, who want to become president. We have now have two opposing ideologies going on. One group has no moral compass, and embraces evil in every bit of action they take. The other group, not without flaws, has a moral compass and wants to preserve our country. The first group, the Democrats, want to erase the America we all have known and grew up in. They want to replace it with a Socialistic government. This is not speculation, but, they are very open about it. I call them the party of absurdity. They have no wisdom in their decision making, and at the rate they are going, if allowed to continue with their plans, they will destroy America. Of course, that is what they want. They want to erase the true America and replace it with a Socialistic America, with the goal of it becoming Communist.
If our ancestors knew what was going on, they would be turning over in their graves. America was founded primarily for two main reasons; freedom from the tyranny of the government, especially in the area of religion, and because they wanted to build a society where they could develop their businesses and grow economically.
I'll never forget a story I heard about my great grandmother, who came from Austria. I guess the family was watching 'The Sound of Music' and my uncle asked Oma, 'Why did you ever leave that place?' to which Oma replied, 'You can't eat the flowers'. From what I understood, Oma did not come from a rich family. She was an illegitimate child and probably had a stigma. She was also very talented and was taught how to sew. She became a seamstress and when she came over to America, she built a thriving business in making clothing. Her husband who also came from Austria, was a chef and a waiter, and built a business using his cooking skills. They had several businesses throughout their lifetime together and did quite well over here in America.
People who lived in Ireland came over here during a famine. Actually, they were rejected by the rest of the already settled citizens. There was a fear of the Irish coming over and converting everyone to Catholicism and they were not wanted at first. But, the Irish made themselves at home here and they became hard workers and fit right in. If you can read old census records, you can see how prolific the Irish were when they came to America. They proved themselves well, and a large portion of the American population today came from Ireland.
To be continued.....
