George Orwells dictum, "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," is often quoted, and for good reason. But it is usually quoted out of context. The passage begins:
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -- if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. "
Then comes the aphorism, and Orwell continues:
"And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory."
"Reality control" they called it; in Newspeak, doublethink." Taken in its entirety, Orwells 1984, published in 1949, presciently described the scenario we now see unfolding in the Democratic Party, the party of the American Left. They intend to erase their own racist past by removing statues and maligning anyone, especially President Trump, who voices an objection. As Dennis Prager has often asserted, "Truth is not a leftist value." It most certainly is not a value of the mainstream media, print or electronic. Our media are part and parcel of the leftist apparatus that seeks to control how our history is remembered. They mean to rewrite it, start to finish, and impose their revisionist version on the rest of us.

But I can tell your from my research...at least 75% of those crosses on I-95 from Maine to Florida are for the Local F’ups.....Do your own DD!!!~
They don’t care, they just want to gin up the Black/lib white vote.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.
Lincoln’s overriding reason for going to war was to get his hands on the taxes and tariffs the South paid annually. As he told John Baldwin, “If I let the South go, who will pay for my housekeeping.” After all, this railroad attorney needed to build a railroad for the people who put him in office.
- A. Lincoln
That’s funny.
Yup. Thats about the size of it.
You’re being sarcastic I take it.
The Confederate states are monuments to states rights and secession which needs to be erased by the state-ists. Can’t have normal citizens being reminded that there is always an option to federal tyranny via secession. The quickest route to freedom is via secession.
On which post?
#44.
I’ll just leave you guessing. I hope you have a great evening.
My guess is you weren’t.
Thanks!
Heres something to hit them back with - Obamas family owned slaves. It might slow the little totalitarian creeps...

On his mothers side the 44th presidents (a) descendant of slave owners
Obamas great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall... he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man... Obamas great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.
