AdrianII,

That view of the rewriting of history, particularly by this admin and its supporters, is one I share. The leftist stuff is fairly transparent and easy to reject, and less accepted. While I'm not fond of it either, I feel less threatened by it since I can't see it going anywhere or being accepted by sane people. There is a rather determined effort going on to rewrite history on the right at the moment and there is certainly an agenda. I've been completely shocked by a large number of links I've seen posted that simply are not true. I find the same when I do searches, the top hits are mostly propaganda. There is a lot of convenient, flawed respinning and reshaping of events. I'm getting an eery feeling like I'm sitting in Germany in the 30's or something. (Side note: creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security has bothered me from day one...something about that name makes me feel far less secure...I can't help but wonder if the original draft was "Fatherland" rather than "Homeland.")

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that there is a major effort to rewrite the history, since the thrust of the conservative movement at the moment is largely regressive in nature. To make that palatable there is a large cast of historical characters that is going to require image makeovers.
