Chris Matthews, an unreasonable stickler for historical accuracy, rips Bachmann for re-writing America's history of slavery:
The Teabagger, like many others of his political persuasion was totally unwilling or unable to answer a direct question. It is one thing to claim that you have a point of view, but credibility is lost if you cannot articulate that view point.
But, in all fairness to the Teabagger Nation, the Oracle will allow them equal blog time to share their convoluted point of view on how to "Take Back America" by repealing that annoying 13th Amendment thingy* in the U.S. Constitution:
*From The Bachmann Book of American History, "The Founding Fathers, such as John Quincy Adams (1767 - 1848), ratified the 13th Amendment December 6, 1865 many decades after they had died and were laid to rest. This was somewhat of a miracle in itself that sort of over-shadowed the freeing of the slaves and probably accounted for the Jim Crow laws lasting for another 100 years until a Godless, socialist, Democrat came along and fuc...er, screwed everything up."
Don’t you read those special history text books the right wing is rewriting?
ReplyDeleteYou know, the ones that claim that the Bush years were filled with rainbows and unicorns and cherry lollipops. There was no unemployment, no sickness, the economy was booming and every day was sunny. Everyone had a wonderful job, Katrina was the name of the waitress at your favorite diner and there were no criminals, no terrorist attacks, and the whole big, wide world loved us. The folks in Afghanistan and Iraq were really just having picnics in the desert and wore camo to make it more of a challenge when they played hide and seek. And Guantanamo Bay was for square dancing! And finally the Virginia and Texas Board of Education just approved the book and its use in their public schools.
Didn’t you read that part yet???
Dear leenie17,
ReplyDeleteI just finished the Bachmann - Palin Book of Mangled History, so I haven't read the one adopted by the Virginia and Texas B of E. It is definitely next on my reading list.
Thanks for reading the Oracle, and I loved your comment.
