American History ping
I still want to know how we became a “57 states” country, because I missed it.
Dr. Hanson forgets that Mr. Obama knows all, sees all and hears all. There is no correcting him - because he won’t allow it. He KNOWS everything; and what’s more, he’s correct on everything.
Don’t believe me? Ask Michelle, she’ll tell you.
This one sentence justifies the whole post. Thanks for the ping.
His hope campaign preaches ‘hopelessness’
BTW, I’m a proud member of the ‘Money Culture’! A real live small business owner finding a need and filling it! A Maker not a Taker!
BHO cannot change Hauser’s Law anymore than he can change the law of gravity. If the fall brings on bad tidings, the progressives are gonna need a lot mor ‘Boxers’ to work harder, cause I’m finally gonna take that long vacation.
Collectivism be damned!
There’s a reason that the airlines tell you to put your oxygen mask on first!!
Ford had ripped conservatives all year long, and barely survived a challenge by our champion, Ronald Reagan. It went all the way to the convention. Ford was a weak president, who had seen communists advancing even in Portugal and Italy. He was for the ERA and abortion, and named the human curse JP Stevens to the Supreme Court. The much despised Nelson Rockefeller was his veep, but Ford gave the nod to Bob Dole at the convention, proclaiming the Kansas buzzard to be a conservative.
After Ford said that Russia didn't dominate Poland in a debate with Carter, the press turned. Ford started getting great press. He got a fawning portrayal and cover in Newsweek the week of the election. The press was rooting for a close race and got one, because their was no difference in the two candidates. Plus, they were a little dubious about Carter and his appeals to the southern white vote. Carter barely won.
McCain cannot possibly generate the hatred among the press corp that a real conservative would. Their animosity will be half baked. Plus conservatives have no champion to pine for. And Obama has a very divided party. The Dems are ripping each others guts out on DU and the press blogs.
It's going to come back to whether Pennsylvanians can hold their nose and go with Obama. That's the one state McCain can genuinely swing.
Let Obama hold forth. There's a fine line between a groove and a rut. He and his crowd will bring everyone to the saturation point on ‘I hate American’ that much sooner. Time for the pendulum to come back soon.
Leftist only care about history when it fits their “narrative” of great activists and revolutionaries fighting against the evil establishment. There is important stuff there, to be sure, but what about all the great military heroes, inventors, business leaders and innovators, etc. They don’t enter into the picture for leftists unless they can be sneered at or worse. Not surprising that Obama only talks about activist history - I’ll bet he doesn’t know anything about any other heroes of US history.
She sounds just like Mao's wife Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing was the harpy b!tch from hell, the leader of the "Gang of Four."
Comrade Barak called for “oppression studies?” OMG, we’re drowning in the already.
Our once proud Smithsonian has them wall to wall, however that august institution rejected tens of millions of dollars from self-made multimillionaires who wanted to build an American Dream exhibit, extolling the opportunities we have.
Obama doesn’t know American history so it’s not going to happen.
Obama limits his historical arena to those whose interests are most represented in the Democrat Party today. That is his fault, not the focus on protest and reform and liberty, but limiting that focus to very narrow set of participants and issues, as if those are the only issues that matter. The Democrat Party would like us to remember the civil rights workers, and those who rioted at Stonewall, and those who protested Vietnam. They'd rather not have us remember those who rebelled against too much government power, and those who fought for individual liberty and dignity. Those omissions are far more egregious than the haloed one's failure to recall Round Top and Pointe du Hoc. He can easily remedy those omissions at his next presser, but will he mention "the city on a hill", no taxation without representation, and James Travis's letter to free dom loving people? Not if he wants to remain consistent with his Marxist view of American history. Someone should tell him that even scholars like Christopher Lasch and Eugene Genovese have seen the light and recognized the failure of their marxist god.
