100% right on that. What i meant is that us calling them stupid because they arent students of history is counterproductive Yes and no. I don't think that in the long run it is counterproductive to insist that there is such a thing as truth and it is our mission to find it. Every man may have his own opinions and point of view, but he's not entitled to his own facts. This simple proposition is under attack from the very so-called "liberals" of the west, whose ancestors invented the concept. That is precisely why so many have found it easy to buy into the revisionism. Holocaust denial is just the next step on the path, and many are already following the Arabs onto that path. In this sense, nothing matters more than the narrative, and insisting that no matter how deeply you feel that something happened, if it it provably didn't happen, it didn't happen. Your feelings are your feelings, but they don't create history. I think you distort the truth when you blame liberals and the media for every fp setback the US has had since WW2 while at the same time labeling every opponent as hitler. Come on mike, that's a gross exaggeration. I do neither. What I do is vent against multi-culturalism, which makes the media view the world through a huge double standard, in which the West is assumed to be worse and the non-West is immune from judgement.
