I've noticed that when they bring up historical facts that are twisted and very misleading. Is this planned, or are they completely uneducated. Some have said it may be drug related I don't know.

The Weak Sisters on this forum are uniformly uninformed, ignorant, and not interested in being educated with factual history.
It's a mental disorder and, unfortunately, that means the rest of us have to pick up the slack for them so this great country can continue to move forward at its breakneck pace.

Historical facts are twisted by both liberals and conservatives. Neither side has a monopoly on truth or falsehoods.
Who writes history? The winners do. If the Nazis had won WWII, don't you think that they would have written a different history than what has been written by the winners?
People all have their biases, and it changes the way they perceive the world. One can make a case that some conservatives have a forgetful memory of facts and history.
We can talk about a fact, but our interpetations of that fact may be extremely different. Until you accept that you do not have all the answers nor are you right in all circumstances, will you be able to understand my answer.

I couldn't help but notice you gave no examples of what you're talking about. And, in fact Dems/libs tend to have MORE education than Cons/Repugs, so not sure where you're coming from there.
But you are right on the last sentence: the fact that you claim to have noticed this but can't give an example, would seem to be drug -related. Drug-related on your part, that is. Get some help, idiot.

Let's see now, we have to go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt to find a republican president worth the powder to blow him to h***. After him we had Taft who did nothing. Then in the 20's we had Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. The gave us Teapot Dome scandal, the Great depression, and the stock market crash. Also during that time, the repubs party was taken over in the state of Indiana by the KKK and were elected to most of that states major offices eventually ending up in prison. Next up were the Eisenhower years. He had a secret little war going on in Central America and got us into Vietnam and gave us a nice little recession in 57 & 58. Then we got Tricky Dick. Who can forget that(I think the repubs are still P.O.ed about that one) illegal break-ins at dem headquarters and cover-ups tsk, tsk, tsk. Then what about Ronnie, he supplied weapons to our enemies(Iran-Contra) gave us 8 years of resession, and ran up huge deficits, then we had George Sr. he gave us 4 more years of resession, was totally clueless about the needs of the country, went to war in Iraq and then quit before the job was done, and gave us the savings and loan mess. Now junior has so many scams going I can't keep track of them all. I'm not making this stuff up it's all there in the history books. Getting a B.J. from some bimbo pales in comparison.

Actually, when it comes to history, the current gang of neocons in the White House are suffering from amnesia as well. Here's just a few examples:
(1) They completely forget the lessons of Viet Nam. Furthermore, they are getting advice from Henry Kissinger...we'd still be letting blood in Viet Nam if he had his way.
(2) Stick alone approaches to terrorism don't work! Ask Margaret Thatcher in Great Britain which approach worked with the IRA...it was the carrot AND stick approach...problem is now resolved.
And when it comes to "drug related", anyone who voted for this president should think twice before they utter such nonsense.

i don't think of this would be a liberal component. i think of it quite is totally a human component. all of us tend to bear in strategies issues in a constructive mild to our own comments. I easily have considered many conservatives do a similar component, and it drives me nuts. i've got faith in fact, and fake claims via the two section only pollute the communicate frequently. the effort-free actuality is that many everybody isn't arranged to look after the actuality and customarily react in one in all 3 manners. a million. forget approximately in regards to the full remember and shop mum. If some thing you have believed to be real seems to be proved fake only pretend like it in no way got here approximately and which you in no way reported something in the 1st place. 2. Deny the actuality. no remember what data are presented. Deny! Deny! Deny! 3. in case you may't dispel the message alongside with your data, attack the different section strongly in an attempt to discredit the messenger. The progression is easy. Rule a million first, if that would not artwork use Rule 2. If Rule 2 fails immediately impose using Rule 3. proceed to apply Rule 3 till your opponent is defeated, or only is going away in frustration. the two way you win via default.

Typical "criticize the speaker" mis-direction, rather than addressing the arguments. You offer up an invalid on its face question, and do nothing to show that any facts were twisted in any way.
You want to hear twisted and misleading "facts?" Listen to Rush Limbaugh some time.
Oh, and "Mr. E-man": I have a bachelor's and two graduate degrees, have been a CTO at a major software company, and make a mid-six figure income. And I'm a liberal Democrat. Still feel superior?

You voted for Bush twice and you call others uneducated. ha ha ha ha ha, now that's funny. You would vote for him again if you could and that is really stupid. Check this out, History is your area. When was the last time this nation had a projected $9 trillion national debt? History speaking. When was the last time this country invaded another country after they surrendered?
You Neocons are getting very desparate. BTW, History speaking. Why did we leave England for America?

Oh they know very well, They pretend they have amnesia. and twist the truths for their own political interests.
Also it seems there are no other good people with good ideas and good deeds, except them. Not to mention all other ideas or principles are not good, even if it serves the general good of all concerned. If it does not come from their party or their ranks all ideas or actions are bad.
And it's sad
