the book became a bestseller largely because a generation of professors forced their students to buy it

And after a few years go by with the well-read and astute college age Conservatives growing ever more numerous and outspoken, these 'professors' will eventually find themselves without many students in their classrooms anymore....it's just such a terrible crime that generations of people have been forcibly indoctrinated by this Leftist trash.

We can, however, work for a brighter tomorrow that reclaims our now largely fallen academic institutions.

Howard Zinn RIP - Howard Zinn died yesterday afternoon so expect to see a lot of liberals burning their American flags at half-mast today.

At least he didn’t have to sit through Obama’s State of the Union speech.

Cause of death: Bleeding heart.

Another dead communist dies rich. Can Chomsky be far behind?

Ghouls one and all.

I never read Zinn's book, but I guess I've read plenty of the same sentiments through the literature I read in college, statements I've heard from leftist profs, and on my own. The "history" is basically the history a person would expect from someone on the far left like Zinn. Their hatred of capitalism squashes every logical thought. If the so-called elites were so powerful, then why do we have so many Americans today who live so well? (Obama might make up for that though.) My family was lower middle class. We were poor. Today I have two sisters who have accumulated wealth of a million or more, and me and my other siblings are doing pretty good. That's what you can do in America.

But since the wealth was based on working in a capitalist system, it's fraudulent according to Zinn and his acolytes. Of course Matt Damon and the rest of the Zinn-loving Wholelyweird celebs are going to distribute all their wealth to the unfortunates, right? What a joke.
