REWRITING HISTORY?


Texas Conservatives Vote to Make Textbooks “Right”

AUSTIN, TX (GlossyNews) — Despite the ongoing efforts of educators to create national standards for public schools, the Texas school board has seceded from the debate by proposing sweeping changes to its social studies curriculum that would highlight the underrated achievements of conservatives, emphasize the role of Christianity in American history and include Republican political philosophies in textbooks.

The board is expected to take a preliminary vote this week on a cornucopia of changes proposed by the seven conservative Republicans on the board. A final vote is expected in May.

Conservatives argue that the existing curriculum unfairly touts the accomplishments of liberal politicians but gives less importance to efforts by conservatives like President Ronald Reagan to limit the size of government. They cite liberal failures such as Social Security, the New Deal and the Great Society as catalysts for the revisions.

“The way I see it,” said Joe Daunch, an unemployed electrician from College Station who co-chairs the board’s conservative faction, “none of these programs contributed to the prosperity of the country. Sure, the opposition and its activists — you know, historians — argue that these initiatives ended the Great Depression, but we disagree. The Great Depression wasn’t a problem at all. It was an economic weeding out of the infirm and the under-performing. Had liberals let the market take care of itself, America would have emerged with one class of nothing but wealthy citizens. A missed opportunity, really.”

When asked if his take on this economic thinning of the herd could be described as a form of social Darwinism, Daunch said he felt it was more akin to “fiscal Calvinism,” where the truly chosen prevail while all others perish in the hellfire of their own kindling.

Additional examples of sprawling, massive government entities include the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the expanded warrantless wiretapping program and the Office of Faith-based Community Initiatives, a lot of pork that could benefit from some trimming.

“There is simply no balance in the text books today. It’s all ‘melting pot’ this and ‘equal rights’ that and ‘freeing the slaves.’ And when they talk about the country’s first entrepreneurs, they use pejoratives like ‘Robber Barons.’ Nobody talks about how the antebellum South managed to obtain state’s rights nationwide. Look, we’re not suggesting that the history books be rewritten to talk about Republicans only; just those Republicans who came into office after Eisenhower — a president who, one could argue, was virtually a communist, with all his talk about excluding the military industrial complex from the nation’s economy. Sorry, Ike, but without military spending, we wouldn’t have thriving aviation and manufacturing sectors. The Army Corps of Engineers builds our levees. Can you imagine what would happen to cities below sea level if we didn’t have protective walls?”

The conservatives on the board also complained that Republican trailblazers received short shrift during the last 50 years by socialist publishers. Ronald Reagan’s economic policies, for example. By the late 1980s, middle-class incomes were barely higher than they had been a decade before — and the poverty rate had actually risen. But at the top of the spectrum, the rich had gotten richer, which the group says demonstrates the successful growth of the nation’s wealth under Reagan.

Richard Nixon’s unprecedented efforts to collect intelligence during the Watergate Era resulted in superior spying and surveillance techniques that saved the United States from untold terrorist threats. And although Daunch admitted that George H.W. Bush cowered from confronting Iraq, he went on to point out that George W. Bush salvaged the situation by deposing Saddam Hussein. Iraq has a thriving democratic politic system and, once secular, now enjoys religious freedom. Conversely, the group says, Clinton failed to change Iraq during his cursory engagement there. His failure to destroy al Qaeda after attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and the U.S.S. Cole in 2000 paved the way for the carnage of September 11, 2001.

There have also been efforts to parse and amend, where necessary, discussions on the civil rights movement.

Daunch said, “If we do nothing in this country but talk about how everyone can have a level playing field to succeed, we set unrealistic expectations of equal outcomes among minorities. When they inevitably fail, doesn’t it seem that we’ve done more harm than good? The government shouldn’t be responsible for making the sure their glass always seems half full, when in reality it’s just a few drops of malt liquor in an otherwise empty Dixie cup.”

Another proposed change removes any reference to race, sex or religion in talking about how different groups have contributed to the national identity. “When you realize that white people did all the work building this country,” Daunch continued, “it just makes the other races feel bad. We’ve given them a pretty good ride. Affirmative action, sharecropping, railroad industry jobs, cheap education, and what have they given back? Not much, considering the welfare system. This amendment was specifically added to appease the liberals. But they’ll complain about anything.”

One board member said publishers should “describe the effects of increasing government regulation and taxation on economic development and business planning.” She pointed out the devastating losses and staggering unemployment rates among teachers, police officers, fire fighters, financial institutions, air lines and automobile manufacturers. “All regulated industries,” she added.

“Country and western music” will also make the list of cultural movements to be studied. Alan Jackson’s chart topping hit “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” includes the line, “I’m just a singer of simple songs / I’m not a real political man / I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you / The difference in Iraq and Iran.” Daunch asserts that singers like Jackson astutely illustrate the abysmal state of our current educational system. “Kids don’t understand the geographical and political issues of the Middle East. We want to correct that.”

A surprising number of concerned citizens attended the meeting to support the amendments, including some who were enraged at “socialist tendencies in Washington.” One man asserted that the Tea Party movement should be included in the textbooks, but not “the thing with the Indians that happened in Boston.”

“Conservatives need to take back control of the messaging,” said Zeke Merfkoppen, one of the Texas Seven, as they are being called. “We’ve let the liberal socialists control the media for too long. Hollywood? Book publishers? These are artists. These are bleeding heart liberals who aren’t interested in business. Making money is the foundation of our free market system. Hollywood liberals just want more regulation. They’ve got ratings for everything. They want the MPAA, the FCC and all these other organizations around to regulate them. And the publishers? They have no moral compass. I defy you to find one book in print that praises Christianity and the salvation accorded to followers of Christ. No? Didn’t think so.”

“You can vilify anyone,” concluded Daunch. “Hitler’s engineers brought us some of the biggest technological advances in history. He restored a sense of national pride and patriotism, ended inflation and curbed a population explosion that was out of control. Mussolini made the trains run on time. They don’t run on time here, do they? Once we’ve finished revising the inaccuracies with our curriculum, perhaps our European friends will follow suit. I read a German history book once that made no mention of the ‘Holocaust.’ It’s a hard thing to prove, really, so why stir up undue controversy and conspiracy theories, like we do with all that Kennedy-Oswald stuff?”

  5. The right wing is set up by definition to turn it's back on the workers. The "left" in this country does nothing but defend the interest of the monied while trying to amass more government power. I really think terms like "right" and "left" will be on the way out once everybody understands what is really going on. Right now, people see "the right" as conservative and/or racist, while they see the left as "liberal", communist and down right Orwellian. These days, liberal doesn't mean you see room for everyone's ideas either. No, it means you'll promote anything non-white and try to stamp out anything pro-white, with force if necessary. Every conservative I see is busy trying to score points with the jews and kissing non-white ass constantly. Tell me a black population doesn't get their needs met more under a frightened white political structure. Want to see how black politicians treat their black voters? Want to go to Atlanta? Got time to go to Detroit with me?

    So forget all the right/left/liberal/conservative non-sense. It comes down to pro-white and anti-white as far as I'm concerned. You're white and looking out for your people or your on the other side.

    The thing is though, I can handle how things are right now. People are seeing through the anti-white government and their anti-white movement that starts in Hollywood and ends up in the classroom where your kids go to learn. Never in the history of America has so much of this country been destroyed so quickly. It's the most anti-white and most powerful section of their movement doing it too. It's like you took the most cruel, brutal, fanatical racists group you could round up, handed them weapons and explosives and ordered them to shoot up a sporting event right after CNN and NBC got done setting up their cameras.

  7. """Schwartz said...liberal failings like Social Security? Funny though you never hear this tea-baggers wanting to get their benefits eliminated do you?"""

    Are you saying that Social Security is NOT a failure? You've got to be kidding me. It will be completely bankrupt in 10 years and all of the money younger generations and part of the baby boomer generation have put in to it over the years will be gone. All because politicians decided to dip into it.

    So us conservatives have put in thousands upon thousands of dollars and you think we don't want it back? If I could get every penny I put into it back in my hands today, with interest, I'd take it in a heartbeat and invest it myself. I can make significantly more money investing my own money than giving it to the government to invest for me.

    You libs are really twisted up with socialism. So deep you can't even see the possibilities that would exist if you didn't have big daddy stealing all of your money.

  8. """Hal Turner, FBI Snitch said...Every word of the above is wrong and well.....just plain stupid."""

    Nope, it is you that is stupid. Most of what he said is perfectly legit.

    The only confusion is the thought that the right wing is set up to turn it's back on the workers. Nope, I strongly disagree. Turn the back on the UNIONS, YES. Because they are severely unproductive and drive every company they are involved in to the brink of closing their doors.

    One must understand that conservatives have family members. And their family members are not all rich. Conservatives are not interested in working their grandma until her hands bleed and paying her some change for her efforts.

    It would be ridiculous to think that they were all trying to keep their brother or sister down and under the thumb of the big corporations.

    And on top of it all, conservatives demographics are the middle class and SOME of the upper class. The ultra rich are liberals. Conservatives are the business owner who is trying to get by with his little pizza shop or landscaping business. The guy or gal with a dream to make a chain or franchise them some day. And they don't want the government stepping in the way of them doing so.

    A land where anyone can be rich if they choose to be as long as they understand safe leveraging of money which does not have to be theirs.

    For anyone who's head is still in the sand as mine was straight out of college, becoming wealthy doesn't consist of working for someone for the rest of your life. It revolves around running your own show and working your ass off.

  9. Typical Von, in case you didn't know Hal FBI snitch. He writes his bullshit then comes in under another sock and agrees with himself. You have to be a goose stepping Nazi want to be to believe that bullshit, Von.

    The funniest thing is he can't see how wrong he is or understand why people hate him so much. He also tries to run for the reality that he is a total loser. Too damn funny.

  14. A complete useless bag of skin you are. Have you noticed that there is not a single person here that wants to hear your stupid bullshit? Even the leftists don't like you.

    If all you have to do in life is go around and troll on websites, why don't you just sit back and think about how worthless your life is. If you really think honestly about it, and be truthful to yourself.... your life has turned into complete emptiness. And even the leftist hero Obama was not able to fill your void.

    So, maybe.... just maybe... you should start thinking about.... just ending it. Go ahead and take that next step. Don't just hold it in your mouth......Squeeze.....

  16. Making a Commitment to Satan

    Satan looks out for his own. Satan gives us an inner strength and we become very strong in spirit. Unlike right hand path religions, where adherents are forever praying and searching for their god, Satan comes to us on his own. Many times, we can feel him. He comes to guide us when we get down, worried, or are experiencing problems.

    He snaps us into line and directs us as to what we need to do to be focused and happy.

    The foundation of Spiritual Satanism is in our finishing Satan's work upon humanity. This is the goal of the godhead, and is accomplished through power meditation. Humanity is currently at a very low level spiritually. When we begin to meditate, we experience profound positive changes within our lives. Satan and his Demons (The Original Gods) protect us and look out for us as we transform and achieve personal power. With Satan, we have protection that outsiders do not have. We can advance in the powers of the mind and soul as far as we wish. For outsiders, this can prove dangerous.

    Satan also gives us knowledge. "I lead to the straight path without a book."
    As we transform and grow, our lives change for the better and we are much happier. We learn through Satan how to take control of our own lives and destiny instead of being at the mercy of fate. We learn to heal ourselves, and to fulfill our own desires, using the powers of our mind and soul.

    In making a commitment, we engage a formal ritual. This is done out of free will. We are making a choice, as opposed to being dragged off to some Christian church, and reciting canned prayers (stolen and corrupted from Eastern mantras) in front of a bunch of idiots.

    With knowledge and research, we can prove beyond all doubt that the nazarene, "jehova" and ilk are all fictitious characters, stolen from and corrupted concepts to remove all spiritual knowledge so that a "chosen" few can rule the world using powers of the mind and soul. For further information, please visit www.exposingchristianity.com
    Because so many have been forcefully indoctrinated with these characters, and what they stand for (Enemies of Satan), we renounce them permanently in the dedication ritual. This proves to be psychologically healthy and liberating.

    The initiation ritual is very personal, unless you decide to have friends participate, or are doing it as part of a group.

    You will need:

    * 1 or more black, blue or red candles (as many as you like)
    * A sterilized needle or razor
    * A piece of clean paper, large enough to write the prayer below
    * A dry pen, where you sign your name in blood (dip the ip of the pen in your blood)

    Write the following prayer:

    Before the almighty and ineffable God Satan/Lucifer and in the presence of all Demons of Hell, who are the True and the Original gods, I, (state your full name) renounce any and all past allegiances. I renounce the false Judeo/Christian god Jehova, I renounce his vile and worthless son Jesus Christ, I renounce his foul, odious, and rotten holy spirit.

    I proclaim Satan Lucifer as my one and only God. I promise to recognize and honor him in all things, without reservation, desiring in return, his manifold assistance in the successful completion of my endeavors.

    It is important to bathe before any rituals you perform, this is done out of respect. When you are ready, you can light the candle. Take the needle, prick the index finger of your left hand, squeeze some blood out.

    Sign your name in blood.

  17. Part II


    Recite the prayer either aloud or in your head

    Fold the paper and let it burn in the fire of the candle. Many of us have stayed and meditated until the candle had burned itself out.

    At the end of the ritual, close with the words "So mote it be." And a Big "HAIL SATAN!!"




    Frequently Asked Questions/concerns:

    Question:
    Can I perform the ritual more than once?
    Answer:
    NO! Satanic rituals are real and binding. The ritual should only be done ONE TIME!

    Question:
    I performed the ritual. I could barely get any blood on the paper, is the ritual still valid?
    Answer:
    YES!! The amount of blood does not matter, this is only a formality. What is in our hearts and what our intentions are, are much more important than the amount of blood in our signature.

    Question:
    Can I reverse the ritual at a later date?
    Answer:
    Satanic rituals, unlike the rituals in other religions, are real and permanent. I received a very small number of letters from people who were confused and harassed by Christians. One person performed a reverse ritual and Satan left him. Totally. Satan does not push himself on anyone.
    Christians are deceived. They believe their "God" to be "loving" and "forgiving." In truth, this monster is a spiteful, hateful attacker of human beings. When one is with Satan, one is always under his protection. He looks out for us and we enter a new life where we no longer have the worries that others endure. Things are not perfect, but they are always much better. Satan does not punish people who reject him, he simply leaves and one is left all alone to endure the torments of the enemy.

    These people wrote to me because after several months, they were begging for Satan to take them back. The enemy did absolutely nothing for them. All were extremely regretful they ever left and very desperate to come back.

    Question:
    I am under-age and my parents would cause me serious problems if they ever caught me doing a Satanic ritual.
    Answer:
    If there is absolutely no way you can perform the ritual without placing yourself in danger, you can perform it in your astral temple.
    You can do the above ritual when you are older. Performing the dedication on the astral is every bit as valid as doing it physically. Satan is very understanding concerning teens who are forced into accepting Christianity while living at home and being underage.

    Question:
    I am underage, living in a Christian home and my parents force me to go to church and participate in Christian sacraments. Can I still do the dedication? Will Satan be angry with me?
    Answer:
    Yes, you can still perform the ritual. Satan understands. As long as you are loyal to him in your heart, he will not be angry with you. Those of you under 18 are not free. There is no need to reveal your allegiance to Satan to anyone. What is in your heart is more important than anything else. Satan advises us in the Al-Jilwah not to reveal our religion to outsiders if it will cause us harm in any way, this is especially important for teens. Just renounce the Christian "God" in your mind if you are forced to participate in any of his garbage. Satan understands it can be downright dangerous, and in some cases even life-threatening for teens living in Christian homes to reveal their allegiance to him.


    I performed the dedication ritual several years ago, at midnight on the evening of April 30th. My life over these past few years has drastically changed for the better. I have found blissful happiness and profound joy as I have never experienced before. I have no doubts that Satan/Lucifer is the Creator God of humanity. There are no words to express my deepest love for him. He has touched me to tears many, many times and has blessed me and my family profusely. I strongly encourage everyone to perform the commitment ritual. I have never known a more beautiful, loving, magnificent being as my beloved Father Satan. Exhalted be His Name and May He Reign Forever!! -High Priestess Maxine Dietrich
