HISTORY LESSON

If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you

> > World War II, and the Korean War, demonstrated how powerful a united
>nation

>head
> > of the family and the President was the head of the nation. Both were
>highly

> > We were good at fighting a hot war but we were unprepared to fight a
>cold
> > war with the communists in the 50s. They knew they couldn't change us,
>but
> > they didn't care. Their philosophy was to wait it out and capture the
>minds

>and
> > waited. It didn't take long to see the results.

> >
> > The 60''s ushered in the radicals, drug culture, student protesters, and
>the
> > Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was to divide and conquer. They
>divided
> > our families and the nation. The secret to defeating a polite and
>respectful
> > people is to scream. The louder and longer you scream the better your
>chance
> > of winning. Radicals are masters at this form of attack. They know if
>you
> > constantly scream and repeat a lie it will eventually become the truth.
> >
> >
> > The media, and Hollywood, hammered us with hate America themes and
>stories.
> > Our service men, and women, were jeered, cursed, and spit on. Even the
> > people, who later wanted to become their President, thrashed them. We
>lost
> > our first War in history. There was no hero's homecoming for our
>fighting
> > men and women.
> >
> >
> > The Reverend King, who was raised in the old school, peacefully changed
>the
> > race issue and united the people. When he died the new breed of leaders
>like
> > the Jesse
> > Jacksons, Lewis Farrakons, Al Sharptons, and Rev. Wrights put a lid on
>his
> > efforts and turned racism into a money making machine.
> >
> >
> > Corporations were green-mailed by threats of protests, product boycotts,
>or
> > endless lawsuits. Every issue, large or small, became a race issue. The
> > public recoiled in fear of being called racist. Their voices were
>silenced
> > because one word could cost you a career, get you fired, or get you
>sued.
> >
> >
> > Even politicians buckled under to the pressure. The Florida legislature
> > issued a formal apology for having slavery 200 years ago. They were
>thanked
> > by being asked for compensation. There is no end in sight for this kind
>of
> > nonsense. America didn't capture slaves and bring them to America. Their
>own
> > people sold them to slave traders from several nations. This knowledge
> > doesn't stop the screamers. History is what it is and you can't change
>it.
> > There have been many tragic events in history. You acknowledge them and

> > They divided our nation into two separate Americas. We now have
>Americans,
> > and African-Americans, although Africa has nothing to do with being an
> > American. You can be one or the other; but, not both. You are what you >were
> > born to be. You do not subordinate our country to any foreign nation.
>It's
> > equivalent to flying the African flag above the Stars and Stripes. If
>you
> > hyphenate two countries America always comes first.

> >
> > This election year could be the turning point in our history because the

> > George McGovern was the first Presidential candidate to test the waters
>with

> > Step two was to infiltrate all the information vehicles such as radio,
> > newspapers, magazines, TV and movies. They were quite successful at
>that.
> > Jimmy Carter was the first President to demonstrate the leadership
>skills of
> > the far left. Weak military, high taxes, runaway inflation, 19% mortgage
> > rates, and plain incompetence ended his career in Washington. Iran, a
>small
> > country at the time, took American hostages and kicked sand in our face.
>By
> > negotiating from weakness Carter could not get the hostages released.
> >
> >
> > The big benefit of the Carter years is that they were followed by the
>Reagan
> > years. The nation got a clear look at the difference between a weak
>nation
> > and a strong nation. Every student should know this difference. When
>Ronald
> > Reagan took over the hostages were quickly released, taxes were lowered,
> > inflation dropped, mortgage rates dropped, and the military was

> >
> >
> > Clinton took over Carter's uncompleted social programs. He weakened the
> > military and tried to pass large government programs. An Intern derailed
>his
> > Presidency. While he was tied up with his personal problems his lawyers
>ran
> > the country. He passed up three opportunities to take out Osama Bin
>Laden.
> > This eventually cost us the loss of our Twin Towers, thousands of
>American
> > lives, and got us involved in a war with Iraq.

> > By the end of his term, the left had captured a large share of the media
>and
> > it flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate Bush campaign got off to a
>roaring
> > start. The brainwashing theory of repeating the same story over and over
> > again was launched.
> >
> >
> > There were endless stories about our evil nation and its President.
> > Top-secret plans were leaked to the press and printed for the entire
>world
> > to see. Hollywood cranked out documentaries about the evil Bush
> > administration and our evil military. They laid the groundwork for the
>next
> > election. The ACLU flooded the courts with lawsuits and the Democrat
>party
> > became a law firm. Almost every incumbent, or his or her spouse, is a

> >
> > They now have the perfect candidate because they can squash criticism by
> > playing the race card. If you don't like Obama, or criticize him, you
>are a

&g t;into a
> > rock star and singing change and hope. They don't tell us what kind of
> > change, or how it will be done, only that you should hope for the best.
>By

> > The only thing we really know about Obama is that his wife has never
>been
> > proud to be an American. They want us to believe that his liberal
>college
> > professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to radicals Bill Ayer and Lewis
>Farrakon,
> > and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate talks for 20 years, had no
>influence
> > on his thinking. If they didn't, then who did? He wasn't in business and
> > didn't see fit to serve his country. These people launched his political

>influence.
> > Rev. Wright's church received over $15 million. That's only one small

> > The change being promoted is a change back to the Carter years. It
