Why do liberals continually rewrite history?

Question

Example: Some liberal on here tried to say that we won the standoff with Cuba due to spy planes and pressure. Well, wouldn't the neo-liberals consider spy plane an invasion of privacy for free-loving Castro?

And what do they consider 9 years of Iraqi sanctions and nonwillingness to comply by Saddam?

Answer 1

you again? you're such a waste of energy. do something productive. be a part of a solution in life. quit antagonizing.

Answer 2

Just getting the story right! See, after the spins wear off ,the truth is easier to find, and you,Sir, are so far off the mark, it's pathetic
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, there weren't many new liberals, you see we had a President with brains and courage, not a talking head. Kennedy was admired, trusted and supported by the American public.

Bosh has done more for the liberal party than any president in the last 60 years. He creates more everyday!

Answer 3

It isn't quite as simple as liberals rewriting history. There are several schools of history that all seem to take different approaches, and the one that we in our everyday lives are confronted with most is the revisionist historian. Revisionists love to be skeptical and dismiss what contemporaries of the day write about an event due to the level of bias someone would bring to it. They like to bring up all the conspiracies during WWII and things like that based upon retrospect more than actual accounts. Some people believe that an account written by someone years later could be more accurate because they would have time to be away and more objective about an event. They like to think that they are more objective by making our founding fathers seem more human. I agree that we should not worship the founding fathers as gods, but what good does it do to completely demoralize them as if you are trying to make what they did seem like a complete accident? I think that objectivity is good when evaluating history, but some politicians, both conservative and liberal, have a nasty habit of making history say whatever it is they want it to. I have learned to always look for a second opinion, which is after all, only an opinion!

Answer 4

Dude, I do not know what you are smoking, but stop hoarding, cause it sounds like it creates pretty good hallucinations.

Spy planes were an invasion of the sovereign air space of Cuba, and the fact the Russians were installing missile sites does not mitigate that violation of international law.

As to Castro being free-loving (I think you meant freedom loving), free love is very good for world leaders. It keeps them relaxed. Clinton believed in free love and the country was in great shape, Bush is uptight and the country went down the toilet.

Answer 5

Why does it matter why we won the Cuban standoff? And as far as Iraq, you have to take into consideration that the UN needs to make that call. If you want to be a world leader you need to lead by example. Iraq was disobeying the UN, well so did we by going into Iraq. Of course it's ok when we do it cause we're the BIG BAD USA. As a result of us going over there there have been as many innocent civilians in Iraq killed as Saddam killed in the same amount of time. And we're the good country. There are many countries with worse leaders than Saddam (try half of Africa). And as far as the $100 billion we spent over there, we could have used that money to improve our border security, improved welfare so that people wouldn't take advantage of it, built better levies in New Orleans, and increased educational resources to better educate our youth.

Answer 6

If you don't like what really happened, make up an alternative. A lie told enough times becomes the "truth"...or at least it's perceived as such. Do it continually, the lie makes it into high school text books. Soon, there will be a sociology class debating just WHAT exactly the "definition of 'is' is."
::sigh:: so sad, isn't it?

Answer 7

Liberals are constantly trying to change the criteria of history to fit into their twisted views. They cannot live in reality because reality is not a warm and fuzzy pipe dream. They want everything to be perfect and to have no worries.

Those of us that realize the World owes us nothing and if we want something we have to go out and earn it ourselves are the enemy to these wimpy, whiney, left-wing, cry-baby, zealots. We are also the ones that work to support their liberal causes with our hard earned tax dollars..

SILLY LIBERALS! CHECKS ARE FOR WORKERS!!!

Answer 8

the real question is why are conservatives replacing years of historic previous now, even as it replaced into good for thus long. you're refering to the present hooplah touching on to the Texas college board and the hearings on alterations to its social study curriculum. that's extra political than non secular. they prefer their books to portray conservatives in a extra constructive mild. in addition they opt to stress the function of Christianity in American historic previous and contain Republican political philosophies in textbooks. they prefer extra credit given to the conservative resurgence of the Eighties and Nineties, like the contract with u . s . of america, the historic past starting up position, the moral Majority and the nationwide Rifle association. Does that sound like liberals opt to get rid of religion from historic previous? someone is giving you a line of sh*t.

Answer 9

I am surprised that they do not think our spying on Russia was an invasion of the USSR's rights.

Answer 10

now now, don't keep having us solve the problems that Bush I and II created. We're gonna need all of our strength to pull us out of the crap we are in, now. Besides, someone's gotta rewrite history back to where it was before this administration.

Answer 11

It gets in the way of the Truth as they percieve it. Don't let facts interfere with a good story.
