America was built by capitalists with vision and guts -- not by government bureaucrats who never created anything but want to control everything.

[C19fan]

Oh my. A series that actually celebrates capitalists.

[alisasny]

Had the pleasure to visit the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan this past July.

Henry Ford was, by far, a visionary on the level of Ben Franklin.

[SueRae]

Looking forward to it.

Sadly, in today’s times, these same visionaries would be vilified.

Any wonder why we’re lacking in new risk takers like these men?

[Gaffer]

Granted. However, you will see freed blacks, Irishmen, Chinese ‘coolies’, Swedes, et al as the NPR/History channel’s vision of who built this country. They will all shown to be oppressed by the evil White Capitalist.

[theDentist]

Can you imagine the Occupadoes meeting one of these men?

[Salvey]

Nonsense. We all know that Harriet Tubman built America.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Followed, no doubt, by a rebuttal from Obama:

“THEY DIDN’T BUILD THAT!”

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

My goodness, a show on the History Channel about ....... History???

What a change from the current programming of Hog Men, Bog Men, Log Men, Alien Astronauts, Alien Pawn Stars, Alien Dumpster Divers, and all those other inspiring true tales of history.

[Delhi Rebels]

All of them pawnshop owners, pickers, restorers, truck drivers or gator hunters no doubt.

[TurboZamboni]

I have a feeling they will be portrayed as rapers and pillagers of goddess Gaia who contributed to deforestation and global climate change.

[Vaquero]

Do you actually think this proven leftist branch of the MSM is going to NOT trash capitalism

Did you see their last POS. “America: the story of us”?

Expect it as an October surprise for the regime

[Opinionated Blowhard]

My goodness, a show on the History Channel about ....... History???

I'm shocked too. You either get some insipid reality show or if they get remotely close to history, its to do one of two things: (1) to either claim that ancient civilizations were visited by aliens or (2) to "prove" that Christ was a mortal man and that the early Christian church was very intolerant.

[liberty or death]

Alien Dumpster Divers. Obama?

[X-spurt]

Don’t count on it being much celebration. From the trailer on last couple of days they are going to be ruthless Bad Guys.

[US Navy Vet]

Can soneone tell me WHAT HAPPENED to the “History Channel”?

[dfwgator]

I guess it isn’t the “Hitler Channel” anymore.

[Kartographer]

Capitalists Are Evil - another Obama campaign ad

[RFEngineer]

Well that would be FDR, with a little help from LBJ.

They “built that”.
