There's a right way and the way its done now. We all know what the problems are, and we all know the media supports the ones who profit from causing and prolonging these problems. Anyone seen as good by the media must be bad, and anyone said to be bad must have good in them. McCarthy, Lindbergh and yes, Hitler. Like Jesus Christ, the good men get the slings and arrows of these vile scum. Good men cannot be seen well by vermin. It hurts their little tender feelings, and portents the Doom that will soon fall on them. God's Wrath is swift and seldom merciful. Those who don't believe it have lived through the interregnum of his patience and have yet to see his Wrath unleashed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330477950146402313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-56921610155207970032017-03-07T10:33:56.870-05:002017-03-07T10:33:56.870-05:00Bill Clinton?

This sat well with the ignorant, deplorable rubes that infested flyover country, whom were as morally and intellectually bankrupt as he was. He was married to a ruthless, grasping cankle blossom. In his youth, he was a cowardly, pot smoking draft dodger.<br /><br />Dubya was a far better man all the way.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-39064541166604104282017-03-06T21:45:09.133-05:002017-03-06T21:45:09.133-05:00"Ask any schoolteacher and they'll tell y..."Ask any schoolteacher and they'll tell you without blinking that FDR was a great man."<br /><br />That's not necessarily the case. In American history we compared FDR and Coolidge's policies and wrote an essay critically evaluating their effectiveness. That was a long time ago, but the point is there are teachers out there who look at things from a wide range of perspectives. Are you able to do that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-85726792473007956832017-03-06T18:45:47.479-05:002017-03-06T18:45:47.479-05:00Our opinions of great (and bad) men are often shap...Our opinions of great (and bad) men are often shaped by what we are told in school. Ask any schoolteacher and they'll tell you without blinking that FDR was a great man. Surprise! he was also an agent for big government, which, surprise! pay for and run the schools and teacher's colleges. Calvin Coolidge, on the other hand, did more for the American people (and less for the state) by simply sitting on his hands and doing nothing. We hear next to nothing of him. So it goes if yoyu want to be great, you need to Do Something (TM), preferably growing the state in the process.<br /><br />If we don't somehow rid ourselves of the media, someday Obama will be talked about in the same breath as FDR, and he'll be yet another example of bad men in power that nobody will learn from.Eduardo the Magnificentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-20602025091576199702017-03-06T17:32:41.648-05:002017-03-06T17:32:41.648-05:00Sometimes Great Men lie dormant and unbeknownst to...Sometimes Great Men lie dormant and unbeknownst to world at large.
