		<description><![CDATA[I have found “The Untold History of the United States” a  refreshingly different view of history that was repressed when I was in school.  Yes I remember the right wing propaganda of the &#039;50s and &#039;60s and beyond to Bush the Son&#039;s Neo-Con  justified lies to invade Iraq. I am well aware of the ideological struggle in this country of the Right vs. Left, but have chosen to follow a moderate political path to find some truth in this distorted American Matrix.   For sure Stone is somewhat left of center but I find he distorts the truth much less then most Neo-Con history revisionists. I marvel at the Neo-Cons fervent embrace of Bush the Son even after or in-spite of the latter&#039;s stripping of American Civil Liberties through the Imposition of the Orwellian Patriot Act.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[what a ridicoulaus argument. When a person looks to put down an argument he can do so in  2 ways. The first and correct one is to dispute the facts, look for inconsistencies in the argumentation and errors in the work. The second the one taken here is to question the person making the argument, questioning their personality and motives. The intellectual circles have a name for that kind of argument its called reducto ad absurdum come back with an article disputing facts and id be interested.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was referring to the Democrats platform at the national level between the New Deal and the late &#039;60s. Harry Truman desegregated the Armed Forces in 1948 and Lyndon Johnson signed both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Yes, there was opposition to civil rights reform in the South during those years, but the opponents were of smaller numbers than the mainstream. Obviously, there was a division between Southern Democrats and Democrats from the rest of the country regarding civil rights reform during those years. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the sixties and seventies, decades that shaped the narrative abetting successful Islamic/Marxist revolutionary take over of Iran, it was not uncommon to hear people be warned of the danger of &quot;others&quot;. There was an invented word often used in Iranian  street: Comoneest (Communist). 
 The unlettered masses would be told by  both Muslim preachers and leftist intellectuals, the Kafir wants you to commit sin against God and to believe God is not!. COMO means God, in the kafir language. NEEST means is-not. Oh the horror!. For the left, this word and strong emotions it invoked, was one more  useful tool with which to rev up the motor force of the revolution.Let&#039;s first kick out Amerikkka ,the thinking went, we will afterwards, sort out our differences with our Islamist allies.Ends justify the means comrades!. 
 
Some thirty three years later the very same Communists, the few of them who evaded Islamic justice,finding refuge in The States, continue spitting venom at Amerikkka.But this time Amerikkka is blamed for helping the Islamic Republic of Iran survive so she&#039;ll continue oppressing the toiling masses of Iran.How? and Why? need not be explained. USA is the enemy, all evidence to the contrary be damned. ]]></description>

I&#039;m sure Martin Luther King would be glad to hear that the Dempcrats stop being the party of racism and bigotry in the 1930&#039;s. Though I&#039;d be willing to bet that Orval Fabus, and Ross Barnett, and George Wallace, and Bull Connors, would dispute that point. Christ, do you think everybody is as ill informed as you obviously are? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Omar, I agree that it is important to point out the positives about our country, and this should be emphasized in our education system and in our homes.  I&#039;m a liberal but I&#039;ll be honest: I roll my eyes like anyone else when an Oliver Stone or a Sean Penn starts on something. I think there&#039;s a great danger in taking the gifts of this nation for granted. So while I do think other countries have it up on us in a few ways, I do think America is exceptional in a very important regard, and I try to make sure my kids understand what this means: we believe our rights are God-given, creator-derived. They are not &quot;granted&quot; to us by any mortal agency. And rights are different from privileges (like health care and education).  
  
The Contras were documented human rights abusers who used terror systematically as a tactic. So did the Sandinistas; to point out the one is not to excuse the other. I&#039;m anti-communist to the bone, but it&#039;s hard to defend the Contras.  Double standards and hypocrisy are par for the course in political debate, unfortunately. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, the Democratic Party has gone through quite a few significant changes in its nearly 200 year existence. Throughout all those years, the Democrats have gone from being the party of slavery and bigotry (1828-1930s), to embracing classical liberalism (1930s-late 1960s), to embracing radical left-wing politics (1970-present). The Republicans, on the other hand, remained committed to their classical liberal (modern conservative) agenda throughout the party&#039;s history. Nowadays, many contemporary Democrats embrace ridiculous agendas, like identity politics. Anyone who disagrees with the left-wing agendas is denounced as a &quot;racist&quot; and a &quot;bigot&quot;. Any conservative who happens to be of a racial or ethnic minority is denounced as a &quot;race-traitor&quot;. Now that&#039;s ridiculous. The left has many double standards. That&#039;s the reality. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it is important to talk about one&#039;s own country, it should not be just criticizing it, except of course if the country committed only bad atrocities (like the Soviet Union). I mentioned Brazil because leftists all over the world blame America for having a slave society (despite the fact that during the first 90 years of the existence of the United States, many politicians and activists opposed the institution and sought to abolish it, eventually leading to the Civil War), yet ignore the fact that slavery existed in another part of the Western Hemisphere until the late 19th century. As for Islamism, I mentioned that it is an imperialist ideology that wants world domination and slavery. As for the Contras, I don&#039;t recall a moment when they committed mass aggression against any ethnic group in Nicaragua during the civil war in that country. The Contras wanted to free their country from Communist terror. The Sandinistas, on the other hand, did commit outright terror against the indigenous Miskito people during the conflict. While the left complains about the conditions of Native Americans in the United States, it completely ignores the blatant human rights violations committed against the Miskito people in Sandinista-run Nicaragua during the 1980s. Now that is a huge double standard. The fact is that the left doesn&#039;t care about victims. It only cares about exploiting the people it supposedly &quot;cares&quot; about in order to advance its political agenda. That&#039;s the reality. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m more in agreement with Omar than Jim_C. We don&#039;t hear about the Miskitos because they get in the way of the Left&#039;s favorite pastime,America bashing. They want to blame America for all the problems that have ever afflicted mankind. I also say to those fond of the &quot;American Empire&quot; thing,I ask what &quot;American Empire?&quot; There IS no &quot;American Empire!&quot; That&#039;s a non-existent entity. It only exists in the deranged imaginations of people like Noam Chomsky and Oliver Stone,who want to continue their America bashing careers.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the blight of slavery remained for a good long time afterward. As a historical moment in our country, it&#039;s one of the most significant. I don&#039;t know how bringing up Brazil or Islam or whatever changes that in any way&quot; 
 
Why not make it even more historically accurate and keep pointing out that the Democrat Party was the Party of slavery?

		<description><![CDATA[Leftists/commies are vicious cynical hypocrites.  It is so easier make money to be Liberal/leftist/commie than to be conservative.  Leftists can lie, distort facts, they can steal, pay no taxes or cheat on taxes, even kill and ... its OK.  Almost all Dem&#039;s in Congress are lawyers and they make laws for themselves.  There are MLN&#039;s people who immigrated from socialist countries and happy to be here.  Why those US haters as Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, and other hypocrites villains have not immigrated from &quot;sinful&quot; US to socialist country? Cuba is so close.  If they so greedy to spend money on ticket I am ready to pay for their on why ticket.   They want to be taxed?  I don&#039;t believe and they make no or close to that one donations to those one who is really in need.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;These guys are saying &quot;Yes, tax us!&quot; That&#039;s the opposite of hypocrisy&quot; 
 
Typical demagoguery. These guys may be saying &quot;Yes, tax us,&quot; when in fact they suggest to tax other people. For example, Buffet pays taxes predominantly on unrealized  long term capital gains, not on earned income. Moreover, he would benefit from tax rate hikes financially, since his investments are tied in estate insurance interests. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t you think if it is in fact your country, it&#039;s in your interest to talk about it? Yes, we had an abolitionist movement and eventually, a civil war to end slavery (or war of northern aggression, as some style it)--but the blight of slavery remained for a good long time afterward. As a historical moment in our country, it&#039;s one of the most significant. I don&#039;t know how bringing up Brazil or Islam or whatever changes that in any way. 
 
As for the left&#039;s double-standard, doesn&#039;t that work both ways? If the Sandinistas get a &quot;pass&quot; from the Left do not the Contras get the same &quot;pass&quot; from the Right? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The point I&#039;m trying to make is that the left everywhere only blames atrocities on America and the West. Slavery is one example of the hypocrisy. We all know that slavery was practiced all over the world at different points in history, but that the significant abolitionist movement was led by Western countries like America and Britain. Another hypocrisy the left has is that it blames only America (and to a lesser extent the European colonists) for the plight of the indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere, while ignoring the actions of other Hemisphere countries (as well as the historical conflicts between the indigenous tribes themselves), most notably the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The Miskito tribes in Nicaragua are an  indigenous people, yet the left doesn&#039;t care about them because the Miskitos do not fit the anti-American agenda. The left has a double standard in many things, and Oliver Stone is no exception.. That&#039;s the reality. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How about Stalin&#039;s treatment of the Baltic nations and the people in them? How about Stalin&#039;s treatment of the people in the Stans? He started on the Jews in the late 1940s, and moved on to the doctors right around the time he died in 1953.  
 
You know, a REALLY untold story, or set of stories, could be about the establishment of the Freedmen&#039;s Bureau, or the lengthy attempt by white Americans to obtain decent treatment for the conquered Indians after the Indian Wars ended. ]]></description>
