On the shelves of school libraries is a biography for young readers of the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is said to hail from the "long tradition of activist ministers like Martin Luther King Jr."
But the book might offend some with its own stereotypes, like this line in a chapter on Crown Heights: "Poor ... in the cities often found themselves at the mercy of Jewish shopkeepers and landlords, who decided when and when not to advance credit to their customers."

... Sounds like something right out of Mein Kampf?

Cheers!

Liberals and the Democratic Party (otherwise known as the PPV Party -- Professional Perpetual Victim Party) are at a wastershed point in their shame-filled history. In a day of instant news and gratification, where memories are short and the tolerance level for BS is nil, they've run out of tricks . . . one can only use race-baiting and victimization-threatening tactics so long. Although their tactics have served them for fifty years, the internet and the corresponding conservative-activists it has empowered can easily and quickly dispel their socialistic BS.

The only area left to them is public education. The PPV Party likes to train their enslaved victims young and keep them forever entrapped in a dependent state . . . preferably from cradle to grave. But, through posts like this and activists like yourself, us conservatives are going to put a stop to this tactic as well.

But we have to attack. We have to take back our schools. I don't have children, but I perused my nephew's American History book when he was here yesterday. Shocking!!

I won't bore you and list details but will only relate this . . . IMHO achievements of those who the "liberal elites" worship are raised to cult status while anyone who might have a broader appeal are swept aside with quick editorial brushes. For example, Martin Luther King had three times as many pages devoted to his accomplishments as did Abraham Lincoln. MLK is an American hero, I don't argue that. His accomplishments are noteworthy and ALL Americans, not just those of a particular skin color, should acknowledge that. But was he three times as important to the American culture and history than Abe Lincoln.

I don't get it. Perhaps it's just me since I'm one of those Texas rednecks referred to.
