As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards. ... "We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded." ...

The docu was biased against Jefferson and pro the whole" Sally Hemmings was his concubine" thing; I researched the PhD "experts" who were sitting in their plush university offices, surrounded by expensive leather bound tomes and antique heads of Aristotle, speaking condescendingly to the unwashed ignorant masses and guess what. <br /> All left wing whack jobs who smile preciously with smug suggestions that the real Jefferson was a racist who took advantage of a beautiful vulnerable black woman who was enslaved.<br /> The truth is all those so-called learning channels have deteriorated into shows about ghosts, aliens, the Mayan 2012 predictions, Nostradamus and phantasmagorical images meant to trigger our shallowest instincts as human beings.Tea Party at Perrysburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027340628609336662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-85426832794545136772011-01-09T07:56:40.469-05:002011-01-09T07:56:40.469-05:00I am surprised to see the Confederate Apologist Wo...I am surprised to see the Confederate Apologist Woods recommended here. The man is no conservative as he both has a sympathy for the traitors who discarded the American Revolution and attempted one which had as its self admitted prime purpose the preservation of slavery; and he is a "cultural conservative"--no conservative at all, but a sort of totalitarian--but someone who will never find a mouldered branch to take off, if it is one endorsed by his religious sect.Tom Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781313612115415257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-28654760234624117902011-01-09T07:23:16.889-05:002011-01-09T07:23:16.889-05:00On his radio show, (some 15 years ago now), Gordon...On his radio show, (some 15 years ago now), Gordon Liddy wondered "How a 40 knot PT boat could be cut in half by a 30 destroyer?"Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436307862970155155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-70487676827440290182011-01-09T00:11:03.731-05:002011-01-09T00:11:03.731-05:00Hitchens wrote, "I wonder what the liberals w...Hitchens wrote, "I wonder what the liberals would say if George Bush was to appoint his brother as Attorney-General, as JFK did.

Here is a different (and very important) view of the Kennedy assassination (taken from the product description on Amazon.com):<br /><br />In "Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism", James Piereson examines this seminal event from an entirely new and provocative point of view...What needs to be explained, he argues, is the bizarre aftermath of the assassination: Why in the years after the assassination did the American Left become preoccupied with conspiratorial thinking? How and why was John F. Kennedy transformed in death into a liberal icon and a martyr for civil rights? In what way was the assassination linked to the collapse of mid-century liberalism, a doctrine which until 1963 was the reigning philosophy of the nation?lgstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752386918407342437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-8116339790936240312011-01-08T15:15:27.475-05:002011-01-08T15:15:27.475-05:00Another interesting thing is happening.

One contentious catagory is "Current Events". It has been taken over by radical leftwingers in the last few months. And while the moderators of the forums claim that personal insults will not be tolerated, harsh perjoratives against conservatives are allowed to stay (racist, teabagger, bigot, et al). <br /><br />But for the last few days, some of the more conservatives members of THC forum of Current Events have been disappearing. I have been a member of that board for seven years, but today, I was notified that I was banned permanently for the use of the term "leech" against a far left winger.<br /><br />I am of the understanding that The History Channel is owned by GE, run by none other than Jeffrey Immelt. Remember, GE also ownes MSNBC. With the change in power in the U.S. House, and the fact that the "Fairness" Doctrine is pretty much a dead issue, do the left winger intend to silence conservative voices, or anything that doesn't play in their favor, by stealth?<br /><br />Is this the Reistag (sp?) syndrome?retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.com
