  1. I have a better idea, how about instead of kids being taught a euro-centric, elitist history, how about if kids are taught a balanced history that expresses a true democratic nature and egalitarian perspective. http://historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeople...
  2. Interesting, so with that same mindset, that same "it was a different time", "it wasn't illegal, immoral perhaps" thinking, then I guess Adolf Hitler killing millions in death cames wasn't so bad because , "it was a different time" and because "it wa...
  3. Its unfortunate that you have a difficult time dealing with facts, albeit ugly facts, but facts nevertheless. Also, as far as the "founding fathers" go, saying they were never perfect is an example of the attempts at whitewashing history. The fact is...
  4. Actually, America was built on the fact that the words and wishes of a significant portion of the population (kidnapped African slaves and women who werre not slaves), were ignored.
  5. You didn't actually expect them to proudly proclaim that they are "evildoers" did you? What greedy capitalist has ever called themselves a "greedy capitalist"? Very few criminals ever admitt to their crimes, that goes for working class petty criminal...
  6. You raise an interesting question Sheri. I saw "sicko" on July 4th. It was my patriotic duty to watch a Micheal Moore movie on July 4th. I thought the comment by the African-American woman living in France regarding how the French government is scare...

  9. What about UHC that exists in France, Canada and the UK. Are they run by communist dictators. The fact is that the american health care system needs to be fixed. If we can learn from Canada, France, the UK and yes, even badass CUBA, then so be it. T...
  10. I hope the health care system wasn't the barometer you used that measured this country as "great", because if it is, then this country is number 37, not numero uno.
  11. True, people do die in wars, but I can't think of another government that claims to be a "bastion of democracy", and a "promoter of democracy around the world" yet through covert action has been responsible for the death of millions.
  12. I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you fronkey, I do think its very black and white. You say the U.S. spends millions of dollars to save people all over the world, I would agrue that the net result of US government spending money through...
  13. Millions of people are moving or trying to move here because of the relative wealth that exists especially when compared to developing nations. IF we use developing nations as the barometer by which to judge America, I would say that it would not b...
  14. Patriotism is usually the refuge of the scoundrel. He is the man who talks the loudest. Mark Twain
