There was a scene in “Dazed and Confused” where the high school teacher was telling her students that the Founding Fathers were “a bunch of slave-owning aristocratic white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.”

So it started a long time ago.

‘”We Could All Have Been Canadians” and says that such a result would have been a more sanguine alternative to idealizing what our Founding Fathers actually wrought’

Oh yeah, that would’ve happened.

You jackass liberals (and Canadians and Australians and all the lily-white British enclaves): there would BE no “Canada” without the United States as is.

The damned British learned their lesson - never push too far or you lose it altogether. That is what happened with the “American” colonies to the south....they insisted on the GB way and ended up losing everything.

So they became nicer with the northern colonies, and then their other own-flesh colonies like Australia and New Zealand. They gave them what they asked. Because they didn’t want to lose everything as they had in the 1700s.

There would be no “Canada” per se without the US. Period. Unless they would actually fight for it, too.

Nice summary but long been happening, at least since hippies dominated news.

We became a nation of spoiled rotten BRATS.

They pretend things are so terrible here (or have been, which is also a false premise). They WANT things to be terrible. They want to whine and cry, so they pretend their lives are horrible here.

This is why I want to force some “exchange” students. To real 3rd-world crapholes so these assholes learn what REAL hell is like.

Cartoons are the only reason I ever look at The New Yorker...it is filled with pompous pseudo intellectuals like Adam Gopnik.

Until our Revolution slavery was the norm of the world. It still is in most of it.

I have been saying for years that the Left HATES everything about America starting from the voyages of Columbus to the present. Leftists pretend to love America but ask them what they love about it and they have no answer.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Meanwhile, while the United States and Israel are targeted by the Left as countries which should never have been founded, the Left is super-patriotic and nationalist from Vietnam to North Korea to Ireland to Scotland to Puerto Rico and points beyond.

The Left antagonizes Americans intentionally, just like the old time pro rasslin' heels.

So when are these same iconoclasts going to trash the French Revolution, which would probably never have happened without the American example (despite how different the two were)? I suppose it's only a matter of time that all previous leftisms are cast into the dustbin of history for being "too white."

[a fool in paradise]

As a child, he writes, he learned that Americans hid behind trees to fight the redcoats -- as if that betrayed cowardice.

These same Commie punks tell us how brave and genuine the guerrilla "freedom fighters" in Vietnam and Iraq are when they kill American troops by posing as civilians or even emergency aid workers.

When you learn history from a book written by Zinn, this is what the result is.
