Part of my required reading is the revisionist history series A History Of US by Joy Hakim, which is really starting to get on my nerves!
In book #9 (for those who care to wade through Joy Hakim’s subjective BS) she writes on the subject of the Scopes trial, “A young schoolteacher is on trial because of what he is teaching in his classroom. Actually, it is modern science that is on trial, and separation of church and state.” Why do liberals automatically scream “church” whenever somebody questions their pet theory of Evolution? You don’t have to be religious to see that Evolution is a bunch of nonscientific hooey that was dreamed up way before people knew anything about DNA and genetics.
Hakim also gushes on Betty Freidan and Margaret Sanger (say no more) and even Alfred Kinsey. If you ask me, Douglas MacArthur or Winston Churchill would have been better choices, but then again, I’m not a history expert like Joy Hakim.
She even goes so far as to say, rather snidely, that people in the 30’s and 40’s were afraid of Communists because of their belief in the nonexistence of God. According to Hakim, Americans back then were all a bunch of religious fanatics who didn’t want their precious churches closed down by a Communist government. (I’m sure it didn’t have anything at all to do with the fact that Communists also believe in a central government the size of Rosie O’Donnell’s keester.)
As a final touch to the book’s blatant partiality, Hakim tells of how FDR, in his infinite wisdom, saved the country with his Almighty Government programs. Social Security, one of FDR’s creations, gets the author’s full endorsement. (Just for the record, if you honestly think you’re going to see a dollar from Social Security when you retire...you’re officially insane.)
Well, that’s it. Those books are just about the most irritating propaganda I’ve come across in quite a while, so I couldn’t resist hating on them for a minute.
