Frankly, before this thread I never heard of such outrageous falsehoods. Its laughable. As I posted in #398 --- my entire family lived through the Great Depression both in rural and urban areas. Never a word by any family member concerning mass starvation in America. Why? Because there was none. Americans did experience high rates of unemployment, poverty, malnutrition and illness related to poor medical care during the Great Depression. But the historic record of the 1930`s says nothing about 7-15 million deaths from starvation related to the policies of President Hoover.

>>>>>I’ve done in-depth studies of census figures, and if those mass-scale deaths had occurred, it would’ve been reflected.

Exactly. The link to the CDC website breaks down all the deaths during the period in question. It also shows the spike in deaths Americans expereienced from the 1918 flu pandemic.

I'll chalk it up to liberal troll talking points and leave it at that.

I know. I mean it’s like reading the Slick Willardbot talking points, but even more outrageous and trolling (and to out-troll those folks is a remarkable achievement, since we’ve seen their full-blown hysterics). I liked the “agree to disagree” point, as if there was any remote validity to the points to disagree on. Lies need to be called exactly what they are, lies. No “disagreement.”

Sadly, what we’ve witnessed in this thread does reflect the kind of garbage children are subjected to in public schools by people that have no business instructing children (and I and my former fiancee got “the works” by party propagandists). It truly calls into question ANYTHING those children were taught by these people on a given subject, and I call it criminal. And we wonder why we’ve reached the level of people in this country being able to vote in a moonbat Congress and totalitarian Marxist/Fascist Administration. It’s deliberate, and it’s why I strongly support Palmer-style Raids of every publicly-funded institution of learning in the country. Enough is enough.
