    Default The Victor Gets to Write the History

    What if all we "know" has been manipulated?

    In spite of all the evidence, many people think Lincoln was a great president. Wouldn't it be politically correct to say he was a great president, since he freed all the slaves? Wouldn't it be nice to write ONLY what they wanted us to know about Lincoln, to the point that even "conservatives" believe him to have saved the country?

    What if Hitler was not what they say he was? Remember that WWII was fought under Democrat leaders who we now know harbored Communists in the administrations.

    Look at how the liberals demonize Reagan. The problem is that many of us were alive when Reagan was president. What about when we are all gone and the history books have been slowly radicalized over generations?

    Maybe we should look twice before assuming that what we know is true.
