How embarrassing! A company selling textbooks, for home-schooling the children of ignorant rednecks, teaches wholly imaginary history conflating completely different periods of history into a single nonsense story. No doubt their science textbooks heritage-history.com tell the story of Thomas Edison and his pet dinosaur. Even their home-page even displays a series of false quotations, every time you refresh the page. They attribute these false quotes to Alexis de Tocqueville, Francois Guizot, and many others, mixed with factual quotes from right-wing Catholics like G.K. Chesterton and other troglodytes. It's amazing how the right-wing Americans have created an entirely false reality to inhabit, rarely being troubled by actual truth or facts.

This false history of money and the French Revolution is an example of what Stephen Colbert has termed "truthiness". Colbert defines Truthiness as a quality characterizing a "truth" that a person making an argument or assertion claims to know intuitively "from the gut" or because it "feels right" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.

We should all study the French Revolution. I thought the whole thing took a couple of months instead of ten years. We Americans may have to participate in interesting times that rhyme with that revolution heritage-history.com I thought these people might be associated with the Heritage Foundation. Turns out they're not. From their FAQ all their source materials are pre-1923. Perhaps not tainted with anti-German, pro-English propaganda promoted to get the USA into WW1. heritage-history.com
