For Democrats, History Is Bunk

For Democrats and their flunkies, history is all bunk unless it is self-serving.

The reason history is bunk to the Democrats is because history is a ledger of their perennial infatuation with monsters of the left – Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, Fidel – including Putin, until it serves their interest to turn on a dime, as opportunists do, against those whom they were peddling a moment ago as friends and allies.

Take Putin, for instance, when Obama and Hillary were signaling "reset" with Moscow, and Obama whispering to then-Russian president Dmitri Medvedev in 2012 while the mic was hot to let Putin know that after the election, he would be much more flexible in dealing with Moscow's autocrat. Then came the presidential debates of 2012, and Obama harangued Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, for daring to point out in his campaign that Russia was a most threatening enemy of American interests.

Yeah, but they weren't gonna sell the country down the river with uranium deals and more flexibility after the elections back in..................... Oh.

As Ann Coulter once said, “To a liberal, history started at breakfast this morning.”.....................

No party in history has had so much to cover up then the democrat party.

Liberals come to a conclusion first, then cherry-pick the data to support it.

Thanks to the DoE, I don’t think schools even teach American history any more.

George Santayana
(1863-1952), who, in his Reason in Common Sense, The Life of Reason, Vol.1, wrote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Add Pol Pot to the list of dictators the Democrats cozy up to. Forty years ago, I was a liberal, and I started turning to the right when I saw liberals in America denying that something very wrong was happening in Cambodia, under the Khmer Rouge.

Lefties thought "Khmer rouge" was a new lipstick color. 🙀

Unfortunately, The Stupid Party fails to point this out to the unwashed. The RNC serves no purpose other than to collect donations to fund their administrators.
