If a post is well written then the reader knows what it is about.
When a post is badly written the reader only knows about the bad writing.

This is an exercise in futility. I cannot continue this thread, in the face of someone who is so self-absorbed that they refuse to admit that they are wrong about a legitimate criticism. Goodbye.

This post is not about my writing skills. Twice you have replied with out adding to the topic. With no intent on my part , the rude condescension goes both ways.

Thank you for the links. However, I do not appreciate the rude condescension, from someone who cannot even write a comprehensible 4 paragraphs. I was simply pointing out that what you wrote was sufficiently garbled that it required some thought to make any sense of it. If your goal in writing is to impart information, then it should be your responsibility to your readers to make it intelligible.

IMy information comes from this source. The first link is the transcript, the second is the video if you would like to gauge Mr Norman Dodd's character.
I'll be certain to satisfy your editing requirements when you compensate me or add something to the discussion.

I think I understand your post, but could you from now on PROOFREAD it before posting. Just to make sure I understood it correctly, did you give a brief history of the formation of the AHS, and were they given money to "dumb down" the teaching of history?

Thanks for sharing that link.

Perhaps what I was noting is that reason seems to have lost its power to persuade in todays culture. Its all emotion now with the liberals. Notice that when confronted with facts, they just switch subject to emotion.

"assuming it's short for 'the ghost' in 'the darkness' "

I hate to destroy your imaginative meanderings, but no: it's a combination of my first and last names :-) Sorry!

Graham gave an excellent interview yesterday with Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Futures" during which he said the leak of the letter sent directly by Ford to her congresswoman (Eshoo, D-CA) is being investigated and will be prosecuted. Unfortunately he still holds to the delusion that he can work across the aisle. About 10 minutes long, this is worth watching, particularly beginning at 4:27: https://video.foxnews.com/v/584242567...

"then there is no such thing as doing "something else."

The scariest words I've seen today. My other thought is that politics is a pendulum, and like all pendulums do, it will swing back fully to the Dem side.

Those will be hard, hard days. MUCH harder than BHO days.

I suspect a lot of them talk like conservatives but are really in cahoots with the Dems.

Reason lost its power years ago. Emotion is all that is left now, and its got a grip on at least half the people in the USA.

Power is the main goal of groups now, so that they can gain entitled status over other groups. This applies to Blacks, Women, Gays, Transgender people, refugees, asylum seekers, etc. They all want power and will say and do anything to get it.

Repubs have no spine anymore. They arent with Trump, they just put up with him and ride on his coattails for their own advantage.

Flake is aptly named, he is poster child for "flaking".

The issue is finding a candidate who will uphold the constitution in the highest court of the land. What ever might have happened 36 years ago, followed by 35 years of supremely admirable behavior, is totally beside the point.

"again people are waking up"

As much as I want to see this, I am not seeing it. I hope I can put a "yet" between "not" and "seeing it" soon. It's very discouraging to watch the bloviation going on from the Dems on the news shows. It seems to me that at least 90% of these people need to take an IQ test. Or, get some IQ assistance, or a lobotomy, or SOMETHING! How can they so stupidly just reiterate the same old thing, when new objections and reasons are legitimately brought up? It's almost like nobody said anything to them. Do they even hear?

I guess I need to just turn it off and go do something else. I do appreciate the encouragement and I do hope soon your comment is shown to be true!

The Democrat have exposed themselves again and again people are waking up. They are losing the Black vote 90% to the mid 70% . If they can attack any man with uncorroborated accusations from decades in the past with an assumption of guilt. I would expect a red wave across the country.

It is really sad that this isn't about Kavanaugh or even Trump, the Democrats are simply rabid about getting the female vote in the mid-terms and beyond, of course. They will do ANYTHING to succeed. Check out the ages of Feinstein and Church (they are both in their 80's) and this is their lives they are fighting for. They were in office when I was young and I am 81!

Apparently his showing had no effect.

The GOP is its usual spineless entity.

No wonder they can't hold a majority for long

Yes from the land of sky blue waters and the DNC's Keith Ellison a credibly accused physical abuser of a woman with corroboration by her son who witnessed his serial abuse.

Yes my water brother , I actually thought of something you said to me. It was when Kavanaugh defended himself yesterday .He spoke of the many many female friendships " not sexual " that he began in his youth and continue today. He, being an only child mused that he considered these women as being a sister.

I am sure you think , as I do that plenty are not ignorant of history as they were taught. But, The lessons of American history has been distorted and LEFT out by the Education both public Ed and Universities. This dumbing down is purposeful.
100 yrs ago the TAX exempt foundations in a concerted effort to mask or ignore the Rugged individualism that Made America Great was put to bed so to speak with thier $$$$$ subsidized by US. This plan coincided with the Jekyl Island gangs take over of the US Treasury. This group including but not limited to the Carnegie , Rockefeller , Ford , Guggenheim Foundations went to the top American history experts and ask them to "alter their true history knowledge and lessons" of course these experts told them to go to hell. The effort then was to select 20 minions who were sent to London after Recieving endowments. In London the were told what to do!
These people then became the American Historical Society and given $400,000 .
Wha La the dumbing down begins.
That's the long answer to how it started . The more important question is how do we stop it.
I guess from my stand point , is to try to spread the truth word of mouth.
