Remembering endows history with meaning and significance. George Berkeley wrote in about 1710, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Certainly, this is a philosophical thought experiment. It raises questions about observation and perception.
It’s fun to play trivial pursuit with our liberal friends. They don’t like the questions or the answers, so they call you names and deflect. And unlike the movie Wargames, when it comes to Libs, the only way to win is to keep playing. Take fires, for example.
The Blaine Amendments are going on trial. Get ready for one of the most important education-related Supreme Court cases in 50 years: Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue. The case is on the schedule for hearing by the nation’s highest court on January 22, 2020.
Today’s history seems to be that the US was founded on slavery and only slavery. No other reason. And when one talks to students nowadays, that’s the number one reason why the US is bad.
It is almost a week after Thanksgiving but these kinds of notions and mindsets didn’t arise from nothingness. If they weren’t handed down by their parents (rather doubtful, especially at a “Christian” college, methinks), it’s by our educational system that has taught this self-loathing of one’s own country.
The rewriting of history is a constant process. One we abet by allowing the State to run an education monopoly. Re-Education camps whose propaganda hit the steroids on College Campuses. One of the most grievous offenses is their reinterpretation of Thanksgiving.
“A generation that doesn’t know history has no past; and no future.”-Robert Heinlein (science fiction writer, author, speaker, and “source for” part of the GraniteGrok name)
The socialist vision of politicized control-regulation of economic interaction has by no means been exorcised from the modern mind-set despite the evidence from reason or from history.
September 11th, 2001, was one of those days when people ask you where you were. I know where I was, but that is less important than where my mind was and where it went. I had questions. The pursuit of answers led me to where I am today.
The media does this thing where they get some intern to scour your internet history for two words placed in the wrong order. Proof you are a [bigot, racist, xenophobe, etc.] which then becomes breaking news. The media can now expect similar treatment.
