People have forgotten it seems, how the Japanese treated American civilians in concentration camps during WWII. Bataan death march-ring a bell? Civilians and military from America, Phillipines, Australia and other country's walked for miles and were killed, shot, bayoneted, beat, be-headed,starved and left on the side of the road to die in the name of the Emperor. My Grandfather was one of the few survivors of this.
This is only one example of the horrific injustices by the Imperial forces of Japan during WWII. My question is-could this atrocity happen again? It has(Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Congo, Serbia, and the list goes on. And now we see things in America that are the precursor to this here. The Government forcing people to buy medical insurance they can't afford or don't want. The government squashing religious freedom, gun registry, the gun confiscation at some time, Out of control Senate and President ignoring the Constitution, spying on the masses, and the list just continues to grow. Whats next? Public floggings, beheadinds, hangings all in the name of progress(Progressiveness)?
So you see, America is no different than any other country in the world, except in that we tend to analyze things to our own way of acceptance. If American people lose our Constitution and Bill of Rights, we lose America!
"Si vis pakem, para bellum!"
God bless the USA and please forgive the Democrats

I agree that, according to our constitution, it is against our constitutional laws to force the people to buy anything. But that is as far as it goes. I don't know where you get it that just because we were once the leader of the free world, we were required to furnish medical insurance free to anyone. Medical insurance is not a right to be furnished free of charge. It is a right of BUYING insurance of choice, but there is nowhere in any of our legal writs signed by our forefathers that states free health insurance is an unalienable right.

This is one post you are definitely wrong on.

I can't find anything about when history was stopped being taught as it happened, but I did find the date that a history book was compiled and published by a known Communist that is now required reading in some high schools and colleges.

The website for this is:

This was introduced into schools during the Carter administration and evidently has continued ever since. And this is an unpardonable event, no matter which party has been in power during these 33 years that this book has been in our schools. Is there any wonder our young are falling for the Communist and Socialist propaganda?

Carolyn

Zinn's book is great and every American should read it. It is an interpretation of United States history that adds to what the usual texts provide so that students know "the rest of the story." It is not revealed truth, it is not a bible, it is flawed in some way as are all history books.

I know one thing for absolutely sure and that is that Carolyn has not and will not read this book. That is an example of group think. Let me predict that Carolyn will either ignore this comment, respond with some form of "You too, call me a name, make a joke of it, distract from it by commenting on something else. or go completely off on an "old geezer" kind of complete separation from reality. Guess which one it will be.

If you haven't done so yet, I highly recommend the Eagle Forum site she cited. Make up your own mind.
