It’s, it’s about who we are

You don't get to define who "we" are, you divisive left wing POS.

He’s been a Leftist shill since the Civil War.

I didn't realize he was that old.

He’s working on a film now about the American Revolution. Wonder how he’s going to portray the founding fathers. Maybe they’ll be gay or cross dressers, since he seems to think they would be perfectly fine with the diversity.

Ken Burns has always been a far left propagandist. His propaganda series on the War Between the States was one of the first to really push the PC Revisionist “all about slavery” lie.

Ken Burns is an “exceptional” revisionist historian. For some “real” history on the Civil War, try the following books:

Howard Perkins, “Northern Editorials on Secession”, Vols I & II, 1942

Dwight Dumond, “Southern Editorials on Secession”, 1931

Some pre-war examples from both the north and south:

“The South has furnished near three-fourths of the entire exports of the country. Last year she furnished seventy-two percent of the whole… we have a tariff that protects our manufacturers from thirty to fifty percent, and enables us to consume large quantities of Southern cotton, and to compete in our whole home market with the skilled labor of Europe. This operates to compel the South to pay an indirect bounty to our skilled labor, of millions annually.” [”Value Of The Union.” Daily Chicago Times, December 10, 1860, in Perkins, Howard Cecil, “Northern Editorials on Secession Vol II.” D. Appleton-Century Company, 1942, p.571]

“[W]e think it can be easily shown, though not within the narrow limits of a newspaper article, that the whole policy of the Federal Government, from the beginning has been to build up and enrich the North at Southern expense. In this business that monster engine, a high Protective Tariff, has been the chief instrument. It has enabled the North to do nearly all the importing and exporting business of the country, with immense profit. Besides the Tariff, we have fishing bounties, and navigation laws, and the giving away the public lands, millions of acres at a time, all of which tend to aggrandize the Northern section of the Union.” [New Orleans Daily Crescent, June 15, 1860, in Dumond, Dwight Lowell, “Southern Editorials on Secession.” The Century Co., 1931, p.127]

The Northern editorials became more and more pro-Lincoln after he started shutting down opposing newspapers in the North. The war became about slavery, rather than revenue, a couple of years into the war.

Lefties always ignore the horror that is communism. Communism has left a greater trail of horror, terror death and destruction than any philosophy that has existed with zero, repeat ZERO redeeming qualities. Why don’t these rear ends condemn communism? At least Mussolini made the trains run on time.

They are actually claiming that making public open information is a threat. It takes a great ability in double-think to believe that

Communism is the gain of function political virus. It’s the ear-worm that preys on certain people with the promise of virtue, but only delivers despair.

My grandfather was a true believer, even though it kicked him in the teeth. He died a believer. “They just weren’t doing it right.”

Ken came out quick. He saw the video supposedly and he says we should not believe our eyes. He has only seen the memo he got and the price he will be paid to lie.

His videos are not real good. Tiresome yes. He always always throws in race.

Isn’t that true, we are always told, “ if we only did it right. Yet various forms of communism have been tried and documented since the founding of Christianity and none worked. Christian believers used to gather for evening meals after a service. Free loaders started showing up. Paul’s admonition,” if they don’t work let them starve”. The Disciples shared 3vetything in common, but again it faded away. The Pilgrims in the New World tried communism and it failed. In the late 1800’s there was a commune founded by a British industrialist. Same story. Lazy greedy mess it up for every one!
