The scenario George Orwell created in his novel “1984”, seems less and less like fiction. Winston Smith, the main character, worked at the Truth Ministry where he “corrected” records. The internet was not yet the route where information flowed. It was newspapers, books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound tracks, cartoons, photographs and every kind of literature or documentation which might contain any political or ideological significance that were subject to “correction”.
As soon as Winston’s “correction” was made, the original was destroyed. Day by day, and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. All written records were to agree with the Party version of the past. Anything that was not in agreement was to be thrown in a memory hole, never to be recalled again.

Well, Congress may have been gracious about it but still the whole issue just begs for context. Surely we didn’t intend to hallow the Civil war era Lee posthumously? Forgive yes. Hallow? Oh dear God no and if we did God forgive us the blindness.
Common core is the vanguard of the movement to erase history and replace it with the agenda of the DNC.
silly and dangerous for our future.
And it would be wonderful if there were a convention that could be applied to a Confederate figure to indicate he was forgiven, not glorified in his past rebellion. Perhaps carrying the Union flag of the rejoined states at that time, or our modern one?
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Except that this time, it won’t be the Federal Editions, but the Global/Common Core ones.
>So fine, Wikipedia is private. It happens to be lefty too. Let there be a Trumpedia. If the funds are raised to do it. Sometimes freedom requires investment.
Wikipedia has official approval from the media, academia, ect. That’s the point of the left controlling it. Back when they didn’t control it and it contained real facts the media, academia, and the rest refused to cite it.
The free market won’t solve our problem of leftist infiltration.
I agree with your first statement, not sure what you mean by the last. lol
The North or leaders from the North have totally screwed this nation up. Well, come to think of it, plenty of leaders from down South (traitors) have worked in concert with the North to screw this nation up.
Wish our capitol would have been Richmond.
Folks, join and help preserve Southern heritage before it's all eliminated.

The Yanks need Dixie and vice versa. That’s what God set up to bless. The confederacy was silly. Hung itself. As for local consciousness that’s fine. But it stops at the point there is a common threat or cause.
Antebellum history apparently isn’t your strong point.
and he had something against rats.
Of course Dixie thought it was right. It was dead right. Hundreds of thousands dead right and still no victory.
>>The confederacy was silly. Hung itself<<
Well, just gonna have to disagree there feller.
Disagree with facts all you want. But it all took place before a frowning God. Slaves were the poison pill here.
“The fact that proportionally more Republicans, than Democrats, voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
My guess is that it will come as news to you that Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan both opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Conservatives all did. They recognized it for the vast expansion of government power over individuals that it has been from the start.
Republicans of course did put the bill over the top for FDR’s protege Lyndon Johnson. Moderates like Dirksen but definitely all of the GOP’s liberal Rockefeller wing
The obligation model rather than the freedom model.
Facts are relative to your particular viewpoint. If not from the South, you will not understand, nor would I ever expect you to understand.
If you’re one that had been deceived to believe the war of Northern aggression was about slavery...well, nothing I would ever say would convince you otherwise. But to frame as a fact would be to deceive yourself.
Good evening.
The South poisoned itself with slavery.
Pride goeth before destruction.
It wasn’t as though they weren’t warned.
God gave Dixie a priorities test. It not only flunked but totted up a negative score.
Game, set, match. Thank you for playing.
“The obligation model rather than the freedom model.”
Okay. I’ve only followed politics since, oh, 1964 and I have no idea what you mean by that oblique phrase. So elaborate on what you are trying to say.
