Back when I was a high school sophomore one of the kids asked the teacher why we had to study history. She told him it was so we wouldn’t do the same stupid things again. That was in 1957. They don’t stress history the same way now and haven’t for years. People think they’re blazing new trails but they’re just stumbling over the same old cliffs. People have been trying socialism, discussing socialism and getting screwed by socialism for centuries, there is nothing new they can try with it, it always ends with big holes in the ground full of rotting bodies. When the novelty wears off and people start resisting the tyranny they’ve got to be eliminated.
Bill Clinton issued an executive order requiring that school text books be revised to reflect a more diverse history of the US. Knowing nothing about post modernist thought or social justice, most of us were rightly outraged.
The Duke Lacrosse case was my first introduction to post modernist thought. Since then, I’ve done a bit of reading and now understand relativism, revisionist history and social justice. But never did I see a clearer illustration of what social justice really means than when I heard Obama declare that voting was the best revenge.
We also study history because the American people can’t learn it or learn from it either.
In today’s culture, history does not matter. The past is to be forgotten like yesterday’s news.
The electorate that votes for Zer0 are actually bigots. Their bias against conservatives has blinded them from all rational thought. The corrupt American media has helped by sending them down the rabbit hole of mental delirium where up is down and 2 + 2 = 5. As Alice said, “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
Maybe I’m being easy on Obama’s Democrat voter. Maybe I should call them mentally ill instead of bigots. Maybe they are DemonRATs, which implies a Pied Piper thing—evil and taking the nation into a cave never to be seen again.
