Wrongly attributed truths

History Unfolding
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.


 There's an article by historian and author Dr. David Kaiser making the e-mail rounds.  You can read it here [History Unfolding] without all the harlequin colors and jumbo fonts that are seemingly de rigeur for e-mailed stuff..  There's some very unusual things about it however.

  1. It's well written, and accurately states facts.
  2. It appears on, among others, a site name "Liberal Forum." Here's a snip, so you'll see why that's unusual.
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
You don't often get truths like that from outfits with "liberal" in their name, wot?  Not since Adam Smith anyway, when liberal meant progressive, but not today's progressive, which means communist.  Words.  That's why actions are what counts.  Here's action. 

  1. Dr. David Kaiser is a run of the mill leftist academic, which is to say pompous, arrogant, and condescending. This from his blog, History Unfolding .
A Report from the Trenches
But I must begin once again with the matter that has quadrupled the traffic here at historyunfolding: the totally fraudulent email that has been circulating since around April, attributing a right-wing rant comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler to myself. May I ask anyone who has received it to go back to the email they received, hit "reply all," and inform all recipients that it is a forgery whose origins are explained at snopes.com.
Normally I'd take someone's word for it, but - well, he is a liberal and you know how they lie.  Snopes parrots his demurrer however, and states:
The original is also commonly attributed to Pamela Geller, having appeared in her Atlas Shrugs blog on13 November 2008. However, Ms. Geller notes in her introductory statement that "I wish I had written it" and indicates it originated as a reader comment posted to yet another blog.
Just a guess, but this paper might be the best thing he ever wrote, had he.  Go read it. Hell, if Pam Geller doesn't want to, I'll take credit for it.

I missed the History of the World, Part II, Hitler on Ice. I understand Obama is now playing the part.
