• Description : They lie, and then they lie, and wh...(more)en they get done with that, they lie some more. Conservatism is natural, whereas liberalism must be indoctrinated into a person. The proof of this is how Conservatives make up at least half of the population despite the fact that our kids are continually getting indoctrinated with liberalism in our schools. I believe their next step will have to be some sort of censorship, because as long as the truth is available to be read and heard, they will never be able to fully brainwash the entire public. I believe as Ronald Reagan believed that as long as the American people have all of the facts, they will make the right decision, but they must have all the facts, not just the liberal facts. Now as far as dropping those nuclear bombs on the Japs, they deserved it; they started it, so we finished it. Our government new there would be well over half a million casualties on both sides ( http://www.waszak.com/japanww2.htm ), and that we might even lose and not achieve the unconditional surrender that we were after. Therefore we had no choice; we did the humanitarian thing in dropping those bombs, we saved lives. -jbranstetter04 FP: Popular textbooks often state that it was Gorbachev, not Reagan who ended the Cold War Schweikart: This lie is prominent, and in some form appears in most of the textbooks. In fact, the ink given in American history textbooks is greater than that given to most other foreign leaders, ever. Gorby is portrayed as this good-hearted, wonderful reformer who had to convince that evil Ronald Reagan that nukes were bad. Its absurd. Gorbachev had no intention of getting out of Afghanistan until the casualties mounted. He had to do something about the Soviet economy because contrary to what another U.S. historian, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., said at the time (that the economy of the USSR was great and would surpass that of the U.S.!), it was collapsing like a house of cards. Reagan kept the pressure on, especially with Star Wars, and the evidence is overwhelming from the former Soviet archives that this was what happened. Reagan forced Gorbachev to change, not vice versa. FP: Students are told that the Reagan economy was characterized not by high economic growth, but by deficits. What is the true historical record? Schweikart: Unemployment plummeted under Reagan; interest rates dropped from double digits to under one percent; Americans became homeowners like never before; income rose; and the economy added a stunning 14 million net new jobs in eight years---at a time when all of Europe added . . . zero. FP: I remember taking American history in school, through high-school all the way through graduate school. When the Cold War was taught all you ever read and heard about was McCarthy, Stalin was somewhere in the footnotes. I could say the same thing about myriad issues. Thats why your book is so needed. Why do you think this phenomenon exists? Schweikart: For most liberals, two events define the 20th century---the McCarthy hearings and the Vietnam War. They see both as a victory for the forces of good vs. the imperialistic United States. No matter that virtually every one McCarthy named was, in fact, a communist and that many were agents. I hate to plug another book, but M. Stanton Evans has a scathing new book exposing the deceitful attacks on McCarthy. Indeed, the whole spy thing is swept under the rug by the leftist historians as examples of excesses of the U.S. red baiting government. This is a total lack of context, something historians should be acutely aware of. In a period of a decade, we had had dozens of Soviet spies in our government exposed, lost China, seen the Soviets explode an a-bomb, seen them control virtually all of eastern Europe, support a war in Korea, and steal atomic secrets. But the Red Scare wasnt real? I tell my students, If I reach into my pocket and throw a pencil at you, and you go screaming out of the room, then thats paranoia; a fear of something about which you have nothing to fear. But if I pull out a cobra, you better run. Thats not paranoia. Thats common sense. And so too with the Red Scare; there were genuine reasons to be scared. http://theblackkettle.blogspot.com/2008/09/48-liberal-lies-about-american-history.html (less)
