  1. “To love what is corrupt is itself corrupting, not least because it inclines us to ignore, forget, forgive or excuse the corruption.

    How ironic. Talk about projection. The powers that be see patriotism itself as corrupting, and yet they cannot see the filthy waters they themselves drink out of.

    PATHETIC.

    The historian Tristram Hunt said of the institute’s report: “I think it’s a very immature approach to the topic. The point is not whether history was right or wrong from a 21st Century liberal-left perspective. It’s about teaching students to understand the mindset and context of our forebears.

    Give this man a medal and have him succeed whatever idiot is in charge right now.

    Then maybe he can sack everybody there and start to undo the damage that has been wrought.

    Because what is next: are British children going to be taught that a corrupt and dubious clique of Arms manufacturers invaded Serbia in 1914? Or that the Poles themselves provoked the combined German-Soviet invasion?

    History is history is history. You are enetitled to your own opinions but you are NOT entitled to your own facts. And in this case, the FACTS are very much against such mushy, let’s-all-get-along tripe such as this.

    And the “best” part of it?  The US is probably next!

    So, since the revisionists have suceeded in shifting the blame for WWI off of the Friendly Central European Militarist Club and onto the Dubious Clique of Super Powered Arms Manufacturers, how long is it before Hitler and the Japanese Junta start being “rehabilitated” after decades of “slander and black propaganda?” Or the Soviets or Red Chinese?

    I’ve seen it happen before, and it appears it is happening again. Those who master the past can control the present, and it appears that the West is well on its way to conquest far before the Union Jack is pulled down.

    Sickening.

  2. Yes and here our children are being taught that America is downright mean and racist because it was created on the original sin of slavery. . .Not accounting the years of people who 1) never owned a slave, 2) worked to stop slavery, or 3) even recognizing the 600,000 who died to stop it. . .Or of course the Civil ‘rights’ given that in many cases gave over to minority (ok even more to a certain minority) and has lead them to this state of being criminal, corrupt and cheat to elect an empty suit representative - who is so hip and cool. Please. Gag Me.

    Said it when the tried to fry Clarence Thomas - you can not judge a 20 year old event by the standards of today (I worked with a guy that made all of that rot gut seem tame - in those years - it still was the old boys club and I think they did it to chase womin’s folk away). Besides I always wondered (and her excuse was pathetic) why she didn’t push it then. Seemed way too convenient to come up when he is nominated to the High Court.

    And thus it will be until we get the Thugs, entitlement enablers, immature and petty self-serving liars, criminals, traitors and tyrants out of the political systems once again.

    Sadly, I think it is going to take another WW - and I’m sure it will be made worse by the muslimes who will certainly use the instability to the max.
