Russia is and was famous for rewriting and rearranging history, with leaders changing the names of cities such as swapping Leningrad for St. Petersburg, and removing former government leaders who lost favor from historical photos. History is always a bit messy as trends change and what was once acceptable becomes unacceptable over time. It is arrogant and idiotic, however, to judge past events by current standards, because history is all about context. Inevitably, those seeking to condemn past actions or standards have an agenda, and they want to overlay guilt by association on those who would suggest that history simply is and should be respected and left to stand on its own, within its own contextual framework.
This is clearly being shown in the nonsensical demand by race baiters and liberal firebrands that the confederate flag be excised from history and removed from public exhibit in any shape or form. The narrow minded and bigoted protesters would have us believe that the stars and bars represent only one thing, and that is the history of slavery. That is ignorant beyond belief, and it shows how misguided the protesters are when considering southern history and culture. Unfortunately, Democrat politicians are determined to pander to this overblown expression of concern, and so the rich history of the south is denigrated and dismissed as the flag is hidden away in closets and drawers, out of sight from the public eye.

Steve Greenwood that’s want I hate about IPads! Sometimes you make a typo, but damn thing won ‘t let you correct! But sense conversations on here don’t seem to require total correctness, who cares about spelling? More important is the attitude toward one and another! Sure glad your not a teacher! Have a great day….I am!
WTF
Leave it alone!
Yep No rewriting history as usual!
What a disgrace the US has become tisk tisk
It’s a sad day when things like this is allowed! I’m proud of our history! It should not be erased!!
I can’t take credit. I’m not the original author. But felt it was important enough to copy and paste.
In one press conference after another, when referring to the Muslim terror super-group ISIS, United States President Barack Obama will use the term ISIL instead of their former name ISIS or current name Islamic State. Have you ever wondered about that? We have.
ISIL stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Now, to us Westerners we don’t really make much of a distinction, do we? No, honestly from our perspective its all about the same. But how would a Muslim living in the Middle East view it? Just what is the Levant anyway? Let’s take a look.
The geographical term LEVANT refers to a multi-nation region in the Middle East. It’s a land bridge between Turkey to the north and Egypt to the south. If you look on a map, however, in the near exact middle of the nations that comprise the Levant, guess what you see? Come on, guess!
It’s Israel.
WHEN BARACK OBAMA REFERS OVER AND OVER TO THE ISLAMIC STATE AS ISIL, HE IS SENDING A MESSAGE TO MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST THAT HE PERSONALLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A SOVEREIGN NATION, BUT AS TERRITORY BELONGING TO THE ISLAMIC STATE.
Now you know why Obama says that he has no plan, no goal, and no stated aim for dealing with ISIS. But he does have a plan, and it’s a really nasty, diabolical one. Obama’s plan is to drag his feet for as long as he can, doing only the bare minimum that Congress forces him to do. His “plan”to buy ISIS as much time as possible to make as many gains as they can.
Here is what’s wrong with our government. It has been infested.
When you read this you will understand why Obama refuses to say the words “radical Islam.” Did you know that We Now Have a Muslim Government? … John Brennan, current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia. Obama’s top advisor, Valerie Jarrett,~~is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live. Hillary Clinton’s top advisor, Huma Abedin,~~is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan,~~is a Muslim. Homeland Security Advisor, Mohammed Elibiary,~~ is a Muslim. Obama advisor and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati,~~ is a Muslim. Obama’s Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America~~ is a Muslim. Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighbor-hood Partnerships, Eboo Patel,~~is a Muslim. And last but not least, our closet Muslim himself,~~ Barack Hussein Obama. It’s questionable if Obama ever officially took the oath of office when he was sworn in. He didn’t repeat the oath properly to defend our nation and our Constitution. Later the Democrats claimed he was given the oath again….in private? CIA director John Brennan took his oath on a copy of the Constitution,~~not a Bible. Congressman, Keith Ellison took his oath on a copy ~~of the Qur’an. Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and almost tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voiced her concern about Muslims taking over our government. Considering all these appointments, it would explain why Obama and his minions are systematically destroying our nation, supporting radical Muslim groups worldwide, opening our southern border, and turning a blind eye to the genocide being perpetrated on Christians all over Africa and the Middle East. The more damage Obama does, the more arrogant he’s become! Our nation and our government has been infiltrated by people who want to destroy us. It WILL only get worse. Plus John Kerry’s son in law is an Iranian muslim. Had enough?
Why do liberals not like America’s history?
Oh yeah.. Add me so that we can be friends
Traitors ?
