Sarah doe a great job.
Revisionism right out of “1984”
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”...George Orwell, “1984”
The Taliban Left in America wants to blow up all the statues that go against their religion.
Oppression doesn't bother these types. They're sure they'll be on the side doing the oppressing.
Academic rigor is an alien concept in American schools and universities.
Don’t like the facts? Change or ignore the facts.
I watched her in action yesterday and really admire her ability to deal with the idiots of the press with firmness and respect. I think being a Mom is perhaps the best possible training. Lucky to have her in that job, and she seems to actually enjoy it!
Bump
ONE reason I may go along with my husband’s desire to return to Cable TV is so I could watch Sarah Sanders live!!!
“...he believed it was wrong to judge historical figures by modern standards, ...”
This is very key when reading/studying history. Attempting to judge a man of say 1817 (or 1517) by the social norms of 2017 will leave you confused and frustrated. We are all a product of the era we are born into. There are certainly some moral absolutes that carry through the centuries, but things can get pretty gray and blurry as a man of 1817 would be completely lost in the social world of 2017. Us trying to judge him by 2017 standards is intellectually dishonest.
They already are; they are the oppressors.
Sarah should say something to the following effect the next time this issue comes up (like today or tomorrow):
“You know, I remember when a bunch of religious shrines were destroyed in Afghanistan by the Taliban, before 9/11. They didn’t like that history, so they destroyed it. Do you want to be bunched in with them? Do you want to be known as ‘the American Taliban?’ If so, keep doing and saying what you’re doing and saying now. If not, then understand that History happened. Understand that we cannot change it by tearing down statues, or judging people born 200 years ago by today’s standards. What we CAN do, and SHOULD do, is learn from History - so that we don’t make the same mistakes. Obviously, none of you have, since you seem to believe that erasing History somehow changes it.”
She is really great. I agree that being a mom uniquely qualifies someone to deal with the WH press corps
Help me understand this. It’s my understanding that Islam is largely responsible for the historical slave trade and currently enslaves people. Where’s the outcry? Do I have that right?
But they need to be confronted with bare facts in order to prove not to them but to others around them that are watching just how nuts they really are.
So let them argue with this...
"Stealing art, hauling down flags and hiding names is NOT a time machine."
Repeat as necessary.

Kelly said in an interview with Laura Ingraham that he believed it was wrong to judge historical figures by modern standards, and defended Civil War general Robert E. Lee as an “honorable man.”
...
Many on the Union side thought that Lee was honorable before, during, and after the war. The Union wanted him on their side. His wife wanted him to go with the Union, but Lee chose to be loyal to his state.
