Don’t let the left wing’s hatred of America change our history.
“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984
“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished?”
1984 by George Orwell
Home Literature 1984 Characters Winston Smith
“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it’s in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And that 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. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories.
Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event – years after it.” (2.5.14, Winston to Julia)

I am always amused at how the left attack our history without offering a better solution or better ideas. They gripe about “the founders” and yet when pressed about communist leaders and the genocide of their own people, they hem and haw.
I believe that most leftists complain for the sake of complaining and really don’t believe the snake oil that they are selling. Or maybe they have never been pressed by their fellow cohorts. Oh, if you ask questions about their beliefs, they get angry and start calling you Nazi and racist and even get angry and violent. They don’t want to hear the truth.
