Blue Sisters Red State

Let me begin with nothing but honesty. I HATE, and I do mean HATE Rush Limbaugh. His idiotic and self serving rants have planted nothing but completely ridiculous information (wait-information is a misnomer here, please allow me to use a better term) bullshit (there that’s more like it) into the simple minded conservative population. I say simpleminded because I hope that there are intelligent conservatives out there that actually question what the parties’ puppets are saying.

Now that I have cleared the air let me leap into why I am attacking Limbaugh today. It seems the pursuit of the true story about the initial settling of this country has been deemed un-American. Teaching school children that Thanksgiving didn’t have the warm and fluffy beginnings that we previously believed is also apparently teaching them to “question the decency and goodness of their own country.”

Why don’t we also forget some of the other less savory nuggets of our national history? Little issues like slavery, our treatment of the Japanese during World War II, or the fact that a completely incompetent moron was twice elected by the citizens of this nation.

Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it, right? What about those that just want to rewrite it to give their nation a sunnier past? What happens to those sad souls?

I know, let us all just stuff cotton into our ears, wrap ourselves up in the American flag and bury our heads in the sand. That way we won’t have to be accountable for anything past, present or future. I think that I could actually sell this plan to the conservative party, just as long as I made sure that I promised to be proud of my country while doing it.
