History As It Never Was

With Karl Rove's attempt to foster the blame for the Bush Administration's misadventure in Iraq on the old GOP Congress of 2002, we see again the cynicism of the new right that truth is whatever they say it is. If they keep repeating the same message over and over in all the media owned, controlled or influenced by them the American people will eventually believe that it is true.

When that truth becomes inconvenient, their strategy is to ignore the inconsistency of inventing a new truth to replace the old truth using the same method as before.

Rove's recreating history in a different image will be continued in the future by the the same guys who meet Wednesday mornings in Grover Norquist's office. They will no tire of what they do. They have vast amounts of money supporting their effort.

The George W. Bush Presidential Library will be the most massively funded in history. It will also be the most restricted and secretive. The right-wing think tank that will be based at the library will be dedicated to employing the most clever researchers, writers, and pundits in America to create the history of the Bush Administration and to market it to the media and to publishers of the nations school textbooks on a scale no one currently believes is possible.

One day your grandchildren may read in their textbooks:
• How George W. Bush was a unifier of American society;
• How he sought to rebuild New Orleans over the objections of liberals and progressives;
• How he wanted a reasoned approach toward dealing with Saddam and was forced to military action prematurely by a militant Congress stampeded into action by Democrats;
• How Bush tried to bring a better school experience to children in public schools through No Child Left Behind but was hampered by teachers and school boards across America;
• How Bush fought against the liberals who wanted to spend more and more on the defense industry;
• How Bush saved America's natural resources for future generations over the objections of so-called 'green' pseudo-environmental groups;
• How Bush defended the rights of all women to bear children over the greedy objections of murderous groups such as Planned Parenthood and the ACLU;
• How Bush protected the rights of all Americans to be safe from terrorism and from the progressives who tried to undermine homeland security by opposing the USAPATRIOT Act and Un-warranted eavesdropping on potential domestic terrorists;
• How Bush reluctantly won the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq only to have ultimate victory snatched away by the liberal media and the lack of will spread through the American public by Democrats and other traitors;
• How Bush's ideals of installing free markets and democracy in primitive Muslim lands were thwarted at every turn by appeasers of Islamofascism;
• How Bush was the most Christian President and most moral President in the nation's history;
• How Bush walked twice as far as did Lincoln to return a loan or told Poppy Bush that it was he and not Jeb that cut down the cherry tree;

Don't expect any wild claim to be overlooked. The goal will be to create a George W. Bush Presidency that transcends all previous Presidencies while relegating anyone who questions the new history to the same dank corners of foul ignominy that anti-Zionists and pro-social welfare advocates inhabit. No "doubters" will get tenure. No "doubters" will have good paying jobs. No "doubters" will have children who get top jobs either.
