When I first moved to the United States I did what any new arrival should do. I read about the country. And the first book I chose was Paul Johnson’s “A History of the American People.” Published 25 years ago, it has a memorable opening line: “The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures.”
Just one thing that struck this then new arrival was that 25 years later it would be almost impossible for a book about this great country to begin with such a positive line.
Even in the period I have been here I have seen the whole story of this country turned on its head. A country that used to feel good about itself is being taught to feel bad about itself. A country which has done such a power of good in the world has been told to consider itself a great force of evil in the world. Almost everything in the American story has been turned on its head. With a quite deliberate intent.
For instance, we hear much about the propaganda of the “1619 Project.” Yet such initiatives cannot even be described as pseudo-history. They are mere propaganda exercises. An attempt to turn the story of America into a story of original sin, slavery and much more.
What is worst is that they have done this to our nation’s heroes. Every single one of them.
So earlier this year I decided to try to make my own small effort at hitting back. I do not have the resources of the New York Times at my disposal, but I got a team of the best young technicians and researchers and put together a list of the American figures who have been most maligned in recent years.

The anti-American left never fails to spew their hate toward those in history that were so much greater than them.
I can do that!
One of my public domain audiobooks was just recently completed. Its on this very subject even.

The way to counter the 1619 Project is to renew people’s knowledge of the abolitionist founding fathers. With full details. Check out the footnotes too.
Packaging it all up in a super easy/convenient audiobook is a good way to push back against this false narrative coming from the NY Slimes.
The leftist skunks putting up monuments and statues to the jugheads they adore doesn’t do a hell of a whole lot for America unity. Statues of frauds and thieves suck.
Thanks for the ping, FRiend! I will check this book out.
The lazy, stupid, envious, hateful, and useless have to tear down great men who did great things.
