this is an excellent post….enjoy!
Just Hush Up and Enjoy the Holiday
There is so much American history that is overlooked or more correct ignored it is good to see others trying to bring some light into a subject that needs it.

Thanks for the link, chuq. A very sensible and well-written post indeed.
Best wishes, Pete.
I am pleased that you liked it….he is a good writer with good topics. chuq
another useless holiday —there was no such thing when I was a kid and I cannot see the need for it now.
Maybe so but at least there is some recognition after all we pretend Columbus discovered America now that is useless. chuq
Yes it is– all History Books are total lies– there is not a History Book in print anywhere on the face of the earth that is not based entirely on somebody’s pet biases …
So screw them right? I do not agree chuq
So you been taken in by the Historians?
Nope I have not and to think so is sadly wrong. chuq
So you have your own personal view of History, right?
Everybody has a personal view of history does not mean they are all wrong. chuq
The trick is finding out which ones are right. A nearly impossible task.
For lazy it is a Herculean task….but anyone interested in history does research and finds what they are looking for….chuq
“Finds What They Are Looking For” is exactly right…finds whatever fits their own view of things and feels comfortable to them ….that is what they look for and that is what they find and they reject everything else….which means that the end result of their “Research” is as biased as they are.
That is for the that pretend to be knowledgeable…..I do not know of any intelligent historian the does not accept the facts…..just arm chair know it alls…..those too lazy to look beyond the obvious. chuq
intelligent historians who accept the facts they choose to accept, right
Facts are facts…bullshit is bullshit chuq
