Yes, but the Republican Party completely disregards its own history. The GOP freed the slaves, the KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party, Susan B. Anthony and most of the other suffragists were Republicans -- but not even most Republican activists know that.
For more information about the true heritage of the Grand Old Party, see www.republicanbasics.com, website for "Back to Basics for the Republican Party, " a history of the GOP from the Republican point of view.

The suffragettes (like Ms. Anthony and Mrs. Stanton) were also opposed to abortion -- a fact that the feminists like to omit.

Recently I read that Lynne Cheney was writing a REAL history book for children, in order to correct P.C. nonsense such as this. I don't know if she has finished writing it yet.

One of the new tenets of the liberals is that "it is wrong to offend anybody." This is the doctrine on which they are abolishing any reference to Christmas, religion, etc.
Has anyone noticed that they turn this doctrine on its head when it comes to offending the most productive group in the country -- proud Americans? They deliberately seek out ways to demean us.
I say it's time to get all over them every time they try it. Let the world hear our offense at their disrespect of us.

No, they were mothers. Lesbians, homos, deists at best. Probably sun worshippers /sarc (as if i had to say that). Which plank of the Communist Manifesto was this again?

"This is what you call a historical irresponsibility," said David Saxe. "This is what you call blatant propaganda designed to dumb down America's children, so that they won't know what freedom is or how it works, thereby enabling the globalists to have little difficulty in the near future when they take away America's sovereignty and replace it with global rule," says Jefferson Adams.

And this is the term paper on the American Revolution you
actually wrote last night, after smoking a marijuana cigarette:
"So, uh, a bunch of guys got together and, uh, were all like, uh, we're not doin' anything so, uh, why don't we, uh, like make a country or somethin'?"

Thank goodness that people like Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy are promoting values and morals education. I saw him on C-SPAN this morning talking about the evils of communism, espousing property rights and the 1st Amendment.

Patrick Henry was an obstructionist according to my daughter's history teachers. I corrected that, but there's only so much correction you can do before you have to come to the conclusion that the time spent in some schools is a total waste.
