Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

You probably haven’t learned American history — even if you thought you had

Aug 11, 2020 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Left is now at open war with American history, trying to make Americans ashamed of our heroes and our heritage. But while this is all out in the open now, it really isn’t anything new: for decades, our universities, colleges, and secondary schools have been busily inculcating anti-Americanism, opposition to the freedom of speech, and a suicidal and uncritical thirst for socialism in our young people, while most parents remained completely unaware of what was going on.

If you were an A student in history over the last half-century, it’s likely that you were taught, in numerous ways both open and subtle, to think ill of the country of your birth. You were almost certainly taught that America’s primary virtues just happened — what a coincidence! — to align perfectly with the Democratic Party agenda. This is the kind of miseducation that has led to the rise of the destructive Marxist groups Antifa and Black Lives Matter that are doing nothing less than trying to foment a Communist revolution in America today.

If you were a C student and most of this cleverly presented agitprop left no impression on you, count yourself lucky. But now it’s time to arm yourself against the looters, destroyers, and agitators who are trying to destroy the freest, most generous, most just society that the earth has ever known.

Rating America’s Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster is a tool for your truth arsenal. In it, you’ll discover:

      • Donald Trump was not the first President to face a deep-state cabal of unelected, unaccountable people who exercised an unhealthy control over American politics (the first one beat them, and Trump will, too);
      • Far from being a society marked by “systemic racism,” America is unique worldwide in fighting against racism at the highest levels, with a succession of Republican Presidents calling for racial equality even during the worst days of the Jim Crow era;
      • There was no “party switch” in the 1960s, with the Republicans embracing racism and the Democrats racial justice. But there was indeed a party switch that influences American politics to this day;
      • The Democratic Party’s support for civil rights was always marked by a deep and self-serving cynicism, with one Democrat President even boasting that his civil rights bill would have “n—-rs” voting Democrat for 100 years;
      • As a young lawyer, a future Republican President fought for equality of access to transportation services 100 years before Rosa Parks;
      • What populist Leftists really mean when they promise to break the power of big business and fight for the rights of the people;
      • The capitulation that led to the establishment Republican Party becoming a weak echo of the Democrats rather than a genuine choice for the American people;
      • How the discarding of the America-First principle and the embrace of internationalism has weakened America and harmed Americans in numerous ways;
      • The Presidents who put down armed domestic insurrections in the past, in accord with Constitutional mandates that are now derided as moves toward “dictatorship”;
      • How even those Founding Father who owned slaves themselves fought against the slave power and put slavery on the road to extinction in the United States;
      • The shocking details of how some of the worst, most damaging presidential administrations in American history have governed over the last thirty years;
      • Much, much, much more.

    I am thinking these people need a few months of therapy——The past cannot be undone it has passed us by!

      how do you promote therapy for those who never were taught our history
      and yes you can’t erase it but if again if you don’t know it you don’t know what’s correct

      They need shock therapy. Send them to China and introduce them to the Uighurs.

      Send them to Venezuela and let them witness the miracles of socialism in action.

    Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

    Americans need to be taught that they started fighting Muslims straight after the War of Independence, before that the English were protecting them, that is why the Marines are called Leather Necks.
    Quran 8:12

      Francis Weber,

      To your point:

      “…The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815.

      The bravery of the U.S. Marine Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn, and they would forever be known as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships.”

    Brilliant summary and very enlightening. Can’t wait to read it. There’s a move to globalize history along revisionist neo Marxist ideology. Truth will out and this book is perhaps the best weapon.

    Interesting.
    The political party ‘switch’ of the 60’s is something I’ve noticed Democrats taking as an article of faith in online discussions, and when challenged they always come up with some weak sauce such as “Well, everybody knows that, I don’t need to explain that!”.
    Robert Spencer would be doing a great service to American democracy if he could for once and for all lay this canard to rest.
    Republicans were for equality in 1860 and they still are today, it’s the Democrat Party that has engaged in an ever expanding definition of racism along with vote-buying in order to put the African-American vote on lockdown.

    RS says “The Left is now at open war with American history, trying to make Americans ashamed of our heroes and our heritage.”
    Would he (or anyone) kindly define ” Left” ?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 12, 2020 at 4:03 pm

      You could buy the book if you really want to know…

      • David Darman says

        Aug 13, 2020 at 10:28 pm

        Can’t you simply tell me here or is it too complicated? Why should I have to read a book to comprehend a word that is repeatedly invoked by RS and his sycophants to stir emotions. More demagoguery cloaked in the American flag.

        • gravenimage says

          Sounds open minded on the subject to me…sarc/off
