Were most Bush apologists in PE when they should've been in World History & US Government class in 8th grade?

Question

I am positively shocked at some of the answers I see on here every day. "Hitler was a Liberal", "fascism is left wing"...

WOW...talk about your revisionist history!

if it wasn't so hilarious, it would be rather sad

Answer 1

What a great question. I wonder that myself reading the questions posted here. At first I thought it was just sarcasm but now I think some people are really serious. Judging from the answers you've gotten already you've hit the nail right on the head. It's beyond my comprehension anyway.

Answer 2

Dude...I read my daughter's 8th grade "American History" text book this year and I have to tell you it reads like a New World Order/Communist manifesto. There is little or no accurate information about the Constitution (starting with there isn't even excerpts of it) or the formation and adoption of the Bill of Rights. However there is plenty in there about how the "Federal Reserve Act" saved America and how a strong central government "works best for the Nation as a whole"...yeah that's a quote. Of course all of the standard media fairy tales about WWI and WWII and the strong role of the US in international affairs and how good that is for the world are included (including a special two page layout on the UN).

ALSO you will never find a mention that Prescott Bush, George W's grandpa, had his bank seized in 1941 as a "Nazi asset" by the FBI...Yep Grandpa Bush was a NAZI.

The fact is you will never get the real history in any text book or school because the American education system was hijacked by the Ford foundation, the Carnegie foundation, the Mellon's (Standard Oil) and a few others shortly after WWI (yeah like since 1916) to breed collectivism into the American population. The result is we have a public that can't think independently (they're all in favor of "doing something" with Iran right now)...they are now the United Sheep of America!

Answer 3

Really, dude, come on, you can do better than that........
Hitler was not a liberal, he was a fascist. Some of today's liberals do support what can be classified as fascist. That's why we say that.
Oh, and by the way, I'm not in a PE class, I'm in a history class.

Answer 4

I was in the liberal CA public school system. I didn't learn what Fascism was in 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or the 12th grade. Fortunately I took matters into my own hands and taught myself about world history & US government and then went to a private college where I actually learned stuff in school. I've not seen the "Hitler was a Liberal" responses your talking about. But I've seen plenty of "Bush is a fascist" or "Bush is Hitler" statements made by libs that don't understand what a dictator is or what crimes Hitler perpetrated.

Answer 5

the 1st situation GWB did suitable grow to be Beating the international warming rip-off artist Al the Bore Gore. 2d situation he did suitable, grow to be keeping us risk-free from extra attack for 7 years. third situation he did suitable, grow to be enable our intelligence agencys to interrogate terrorist they way they must be. Fourth situation he did suitable, grow to be Beat John Kerry, From there Bush grew to grow to be a tax and spend maniac. I have no theory why the left have not erected a monument to him. whether this jerk now we've's making Bush look as though a vulnerable hitter interior the spending branch. Bush did a number of of no longer so stable issues yet he did an poor lot of stable. 31 of 32 quarters have been effective and powerful. till the final era whilst the Media and the left synthetic the so referred to as issues we are having right this moment. this could practice to be a masterminded coup on the rustic of the US.

Answer 6

Hitler and fascism were neither right or left in the terms we define them as today. That is why fascism is it's own defintion and not simply referred to as german communism, capitalism, militarism, whatever you want to think of. This goes beyond being a Bush supporter as I have seen many liberals classify Bush as Hitler, You are right though in your belief that many people are ignorant in terms of world history.

Answer 7

OK you cons can't have it both ways, you say liberals are for gays and protecting gays YET you call Hitler a liberal. In cause you WERE in PE class, Hitler made all gay people wear pink flags on their uniforms, put them in prison, and they had a lower rank in prison that even the Jews had. I would HARDLY call that Liberal. MAYBE HE IS RIGHT, MAYBE YOU WERE IN PE CLASS WHILE HISTORY WAS BEING TAUGHT.

Answer 8

I think the problem with most of them is that their education was pretty well over after public school. The importance of learning itself was perhaps not stressed enough. They are busy watching television and making dinner... stuff to do.

Answer 9

While I do not ascribe Hitler to Liberalism or fascim (that was Moussolini), Nazis were socialists, so they were indeed a bit to the left. Fighting for civil liberties is not always a quality that can be only attributed to those who lean one way or another. However, I also find it interesting that no one truly fights for equality. If they did there would be a month for every "race" out there. If they did, then it would be incorrect for anyone to insult anyone, regardless of their beliefs. I know I'll get thumbs down, but, I'm tired of all the popularity games and name calling crap, frankly.

"Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense."... "We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less.""The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us."

"We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when anyone engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal."
Letter to Sir Edward Gray, November 15, 1913

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
"Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star",
May 7, 1918

"Much can be done by law towards putting women on a footing of complete and entire equal rights with man - including the right to vote, the right to hold and use property, and the right to enter any profession she desires on the same terms as the man."..."Women should have free access to every field of labor which they care to enter, and when their work is as valuable as that of a man it should be paid as highly."
An Autobiography, 1913

"Defenders of the short-sighted men who in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things sometimes seek to champion them by saying the 'the game belongs to the people.' So it does; and not merely to the people now alive, but to the unborn people. The 'greatest good for the greatest number' applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method."
A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open, 1916

Answer 10

You are correct....more people do need to educate themselves further in world history and the US government. All of the name calling that you are referring to however, is always in reference to conservatives! I have YET to see a conservative stoop so low! OK, OK it happens but not nearly as often! I get so much "Hate" email and get called so many nasty and hurtful names JUST because of my political affiliation that I almost omitted it on my 360 page. But, a turncoat I am not!
