The past two days have been filled with erroneous history. Yesterday it was Barack Obama on Alexander Hamilton, now it is Condeelzza Rice. She claims that “the United States still has trouble dealing with race because of a national “birth defect” that denied black Americans the opportunities given to whites at the country’s very founding”. She needs to study her history. She forgets that at its founding that women did not have the right to vote and neither did non-property owners. She also forgets that many Whites were brought to America in chains as well. Many Scots and Irish were not brought to this land willingly. The lands of those nations were purged (the term they used was ‘a clearance’)of their inhabitants by the British. Those ‘cleared’ were shipped off to America. In some cases, they had their tongues or ears nailed to the market cross in the center of town. Much like the black slave traders, sold their own into slavery, the British sold the Scots and Irish into slavery as well.

The indentured servant program was not bringing happy whites to these shores. Those Scots and Irish who were forced out of their homes and ripped away from family did not come here willingly. (I guess her government schools did not teach her about that group, since they do not have a Scots history month). Her proposition is based on wrong assumptions. If what she says is true, then gender issues could also be explained by the decisions of the founding fathers in laying the foundation of the United States. (Could she be hinting that dear Alexander Hamilton was at fault?).

Her claims indicate that she is ill informed concerning the foundation of America, which makes me wonder “What else she is ill informed about? ” Why is there no animosity between property owners and non-property owners? Why isn’t there a problem between those of Scots/Irish ancestry and those of French or German origin. If what she says is true in part, it should be true concerning the whole of the people that were part of the founding population.

Clearly she needs to stick with what she knows, being that she is Secretary of State. Her statements reveal that she is biased and ill-informed regarding the founding of the nation. If this is any indication of how much she knows of social issues underlying international relations, WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE. If the regime does or says nothing, it is condoning the ignorance of its members. We already know that the regime wants to remove portions of history (as it did with the plaques on the courthouse in Austin) and heritage (as it did with the ten commandments in Alabama). Now after removing history, they promote ill informed comments by their cabinet.

Condi’s ignorance of history is more disturbing that Obama’s since she is in a greater position of power. She is in line for the head of the regime, whereas he is not. If she is ignorant on these matters, the policies she is likely to put in place will be based on a pack of lies and deception.

Be Informed!

Free Texas!
