I Detest Historical Stupidity and Ignorance « Cultural Illiteracy « Culture

What totally pisses me off is when people compare MY Mayflower, Mary & John, and so forth and so on with today’s low-life, migrant, illegal immigrant. Anyone who does is purely stupid, ignorant, knows absolutely nothing about history.

My ancestors CONQUERED and colonized the New World. There is a difference. Anyone who says there is not is a total and compete ignorant fool who knows nothing about history. A total fool.

If you know anything about pre-colonial North American you might discover those poor, vanquished souls who were ‘conquered’ by my evil ancestors were, themselves, conquerors.

People have been migrating to North America for about 40,000 years. From what we can tell there were NO ORIGINAL human ancestors on the North American continent.

Get it?

What it says, is the people my ancestors conquered were, themselves colonizers and conquerors, who followed the paths that were 40,000 years long.

But, it’s better to damn anyone who might not fall for liberal insanity. Yea, I get pissed this time of year. I also get pissed about people who go on and on about the Holy Family being migrants and refugees. Can you be so STUPID & IGNORANT? Go read your Roman history. There were no such things as migrants and refugees. Oh, Lord our country is going to be brought down by stupidity and the abject ignorance of history.

If my rant and rave offends you, good. Go read a history book or two that aren’t written by liberal revisionists. You might learn something.

I detest historical ignorance.

End of rant.

The Pink Flamingo went on line on October 4, 2005.

THE PINK FLAMINGO STORY

It started out as a joke. During the seven years I worked with the girls of my parish, leading a youth group, one of the things that I stressed were manners. Part of having manners, the way I see it, is to know how to set a proper table, host a party, cater it, and clean up afterward. I was fortunate enough to have a group of very talented girls in my youth group. They learned how to plan for, and execute large church functions, very properly. During one such function I noticed there were several incredibly tacky pink flamingos sitting on the table. Knowing the girls were up to something, I said nothing. A few months later they did the same thing at a function I was hosting at my home. I said nothing. They had a birthday party for me. More pink flamingos appeared - and a joke was born.

Thanks to the girls, all of whom are now grown, I have a collection of pink flamingos. It has become an ongoing joke. When I began working on my political blog, I realized the only possibly title was The Pink Flamingo!
