Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

A Quote to Contemplate
The Federalist Patriot Founders' Quote Daily "As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as weare running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life;that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight." --Thomas Paine
I agree GT,there is so much lacking in the teaching of history,too much rewriting and PCism.I had a great history teacher, he tought as to understand and analyze with more emphasis on grasp of the era than memorizing names or dates.
