and you know it's REALLY not their fault, but rather it is the fault of "duh gubmint apruvd pubic screwl sistiem kurricloom", which teaches their students MYTHS & KNOWING lies out of the REVISIONIST/socialist "poison ivy drapted halls" of northeastern academia.

MOST of what is presented in schools, at least in "history" courses, is to quote Arnold Toynbee, "fiction, popularly agreed upon by tyrants & conquerers".

I know. That's why it doesn't upset me much. The only part that upsets me is that the clown, Lincoln, has had his pathetic propanda spread like jam on bread. We're seeing the results of his great achievement in the form of, pathetic Senators, Congressmen, borders, un-patriotic hate groups, and whatever other uncontrollable societal ills exist...

Another lie. Toynbee never said that. The quote seems to originate with Voltaire, who said, "History is the lie commonly agreed upon," Napoleon paraphrased it and usually gets the credit. Toynbee did say "Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder," which makes a nice epitaph for the southern slave economy.
