Ya really gotta wonder about someone running for President, if they don't know much about how this country got started (or when).

I wonder everytime one of the board conservatives gives an example from history (I wonder if they are rewritiing history or actually believe incorrect information, as does the flavor of September).

Because it conflicts with your indoctrination. ;)

lol, right. And where was I indoctrinated? It was tried by a Navy Chief the summer of 1967 at NTC San Diego. He was questioned 'off the stage' when he tried to rewrite the history of Vietnam and the purpose of our involvement. So many questions he couldn't answer from the script he was reading he ran from the podium to laughter. Each company was marched back to their barracks and chewed out by their company commander. It was very funny, then and now.
 
paranoia rears it's misinformed head!

So you're saying the thread was NOT started to attack Perry?

Just how much crack DO you smoke each day? :eek::cuckoo::eek:
no it was not
it was started to show how some people who are running for president don't know shit about their own history...if you think that's an attack,, you are nuts..
BTW I could never smoke as much crack as you.....being that your head is so far up your ass that you speak through your colon...
 
wait, didn't you just posted that this was an attack thread? so you're not a parry supporter?

I've never supported Perry, but you misunderstood my point.

Some of his brain grew back, so he changed from democrat to Republican. Need to wipe out every bit of cognitive capacity to make a democrat....

Standard Disclaimer: Yeah, it's a joke - but look at the shitters, lot of truth to this joke!

funny as an empty care package....
 
You really think you're fooling people, sparky?

ROFL

Do you really think I'm trying to "fool" anyone on anything? Let me guess, you're a Perry supporter. And my analysis was counter to your position. Ergo, you conclude that I must be some kind of wing-nut. Which makes perfect sense. Because even though I am a strong supporter of gun rights, highly critical of gun control, firmly against illegal immigration, support the free market over government intervention, support states rights and leaving more issues for the states to deal with, and am hoping for a quality candidate to come out to unseat Obama, anyone who disagrees with you simply must be a left wing nut-job, amiright? :lol: Stop being such a partisan hack, you reek of Al Qaeda style extremism.

Incredible Michele Bachmann Speech Gets Every Historical Fact Wrong

Why does Michele Bachmann like the history of the founding fathers so much? Because, apparently, you can just make it up as you go along! Listen ye children as we do a “close read” of this speech and discover the many amazing improvised historical facts Michele Bachmann made up for us.

Let’s skip past the “the Tom Addison, the Tom Adams, err, John Adamses” part of this speech, and the part when she says immigrants are good, if they were born in the seventeenth century and were white. Cue it up to 9:00 or so.

9:30—Thomas Jefferson would be very interested to find out he plagiarized whole-cloth, without crediting those weirdo pilgrims, some sort of prayer thing from the Mayflower Compact. But it’s her word against his, and he never raised millions of dollars and blanketed the air with teevee ads, so he automatically loses.

9:40—Eighteenth-century America: “It didn’t matter the color of their skin, it didn’t matter their language, it didn’t matter their economic status… it made no difference. Once you got here, we were all the same. Isn’t that remarkable.” Yes, yes it certainly is! Those black slaves and poor white indentured servants were idiots! They didn’t realize they lived in a totally equal society, completely in line with one another. They just thought they were de-jure or de-facto owned by other humans! Whoops! COLONIAL FAIL! (Also: If this sounds like socialism, it WASN’T. Michele says the Pilgrims didn’t come over here for universal health care, so there.)

10:20—”We know there was still slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began.” Oh! So, forget all that other shit she said? “But we also know that the very founders who wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. And I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly, men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.” She is really stressing the “tirelessly” here, because isn’t it weird that the Constitution would have nothing about slavery in it? And how so many of its framers wanted slavery and owned slaves themselves? People like, let’s see here, “the George Washingtons and the Thomas Jeffersons” she discussed earlier? They must have gotten pretty tired fighting Michele’s “evil” people who owned slaves (themselves). So tired, in fact, that though they “would not rest” until they finally saw slavery banned, they actually all died many decades before it happened! That just shows how dedicated the founders were. Their ghosts did more than half of century of grunt work on an issue they could have just solved in the Constitution without so much bloodshed.

11:15—”We were a self-correcting country.” Yes, that sure is one way to describe it.

12:30—”Did you ever think in your lifetime that you would see the federal government purchase the largest car companies in the United States.” No. Because most people, those of us who believe in things like “sales figures” and “reported profits” realize GM and Chrysler aren’t the two largest car companies in the United States. There aren’t even the two largest American car companies in the United States. And the government didn’t even really buy these companies: one is a private company, and the other is publicly traded. You know what this means? Toyota and Ford are probably owned by the government too, and all cars are made by welfare queens in Mexican slums built between the local Lowe’s and Home Depot. Also, the country didn’t buy those banks she listed. And Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were set up by the government and were government-sponsored enterprises. But whatever, she’s been right about everything up to this point in her speech, right?

Anyway, your next president! She will be able to rewrite history at any point, whether it’s the most ancient of history of humankind, or something she did five minutes ago. [via TPM]

Now if he could work on the Conservative part of growth?
 
At least........according to Rick Perry........

Texas Gov. Rick Perry would like to avoid being compared to his gaffe-prone predecessor, former President George W. Bush, but he didn't help himself late Tuesday when he suggested that the American Revolution took place in the 16th century.

Following a Republican presidential candidate debate at Dartmouth College, Perry made a stop at the school's Beta Theta Pi fraternity house a few blocks away, where he spoke briefly with students and answered a few questions. One participant pressed the governor on the issue of states' rights.

Perry, a favorite of Tea Party Republicans, replied, "Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom. As a matter of fact, they were very much afraid of that because they'd just had this experience with this far-away government that had centralized thought process and planning and what have you, and then it was actually the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century, was to get away from that kind of onerous crown if you will."

Just Remember he was a Democrat before he was a Republican. :D

:razz:

You little stinker.

:lol:
 
I didn't think anyone was talking about Rick Perry any more. The pundits seem to be locking onto Mitt Romney as the deadline approaches to get on the presidential ballot. As a Democrat, I think Romney would be better for us than Perry. Perry is inept, but so was two term President George Bush. Once America finds out what Mormonism is really about, Christians will be afraid of it as a cult.

Based on Romney's past presidential efforts he has never pulled an evangelical State. Chances are good that the holy rollers would stay home election day 2012.

Yes. Continued Servitude is so much better than Religious Tolerance. :D

you could be right ..
what do you know about Mormonism?
they are just as Christian as any believers
the only difference between a cult and a religion is size.
