As Pat Moynihan so correctly said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”

What do you think the response of the mainstream media would have been if Bush had made these errors?

Arguably, the United States BECAME the United States on July 4th, 1776. Equally arguably, slavery was ended in the US by the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abe Lincoln (R - Illinois) on Sept 22, 1862

A span of 86 years, 2 months, 18 days

Prior to that date, slaves suffered under BRITISH / FRENCH / SPANISH rule. Remember this when people start talking about long periods of American slavery.

Why is Victor Hanson worried about facts? Doesn't he remember Hussein campaigned in all 57 states? He also sat in the Rev. Wrights God D*** America for 20+ years, but never heard a sermon. Why do facts matter? < /SARC>

It’s not Zero’s fault. He’s just reading what someone puts on the teleprompter.

In order to keep things cleaner, I simply hit the complaint button and typed duplicate post. AM does the rest, and makes things more easily read.

In the meantime, have I introduced to my favorite Presidential candidate for 2012? She's a winner. She is the anti-Obama.

Meet Sarah Palin and donate to her election fund. Simply click on the pic to go there!

I guarantee you that ‘bammy’s minions would be more inclined to dismiss reality in favor of ‘bammy’s assertions about history, just as a matter of “principle”.

See, I could actually believe that one - my dad's been sleeping through sermons for longer than that.

Communists always distort history to fit their dogma. Look at Stalin cutting officials out of pictures to fit his politics.

Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it.
