Shit I learned in school

…because, really, I DO believe there’s a deliberate sabotage of Public Education being done simply by handing a “liberal” program over to be administered by “conservatives”.
In 7th grade in Texas you’re taught Texas History. Some of it would be almost unrecognizable from a Yankee point of view.
For instance, we were taught that the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, it was about State’s Rights.
State’s Rights to spend civic money and exercise military and police powers to enforce slavery.
We were also told, and I have reason to believe that it’s gotten worse, we were told that the Slaves were well treated, given decent food and housing, and Medical Care. Happy Days on de ol’ Plantation wif all de Darkies singin’ and happy and de Massa jes’ lubbin all of dem!
O, de sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
it’s summer and the darkies are gay…
You smile and laugh and sing because the Massah would beat you and maybe have you killed if you indicated any dissatisfaction with the arrangement. It’s that simple.
The Slaves were all Happy and Content and Well Treated… so why do the Corporate Slaveholders of the Modern Plantation, the ones who advance this bald-face lie about how good slaves had it, refuse to provide health care and good nutrition and housing for their Debt-slaves?
Is it only profitable to provide a decent standard of living if you outright OWN the workers?

They don’t make too much comment about how these Happy, Contented Slaves all smilin’ and singin’ and the Good Massah lubbin’ every one of dem… why they would be forbidden to take any outside employment in their spare time, to perhaps earn enough money to buy their freedom?
The Prison System uses a similar tactic to keep its slaves from escaping, if you’re caught with money you’re punished.
Likewise the Slaves were forbidden Education, even so much as to teach a slave to read was punishable by death. And to BE that slave?
Thus are the scions of the Debt Slaves treated now, public education being snatched away from our kids and allocated only to the children of the Merchant master class.
And health care and nutrition… look to the TeaTards with their anger and hatred toward people who actually receive health care, which the TeaTard Hate Freak leaders say only the Wealthy deserve.

Of course they will LIE and say they’re only looking out for States Rights…. Corporate State rights to hold people in slavery.
And threatening a new Civil War in which they’ll kill a lot of Americans to keep things that way.
Them Corporate Slaveowners sho’ does love them the idea of Killing Americans.
Why I believe the Texas History Textbooks are being slanted more to the right… Rick “GoodHair” Perry, fascist dictator of Texas, said the older textbooks were too Liberal WTF?
And in Texas the Governor determines the curriculum for the schools in the entire state. So look for even MORE brainwashed morons who will grow up thinking that keeping human beings in bondage and Killing PEOPLE who object is actually a good thing.

Because the Hatemongers and Deathmongers have gotten increasingly abusive in their rallies to drum up support of Killing People. While they say they’re not Racist about it in any way, they do fly the Confederate Battle Flag, the “Southern Cross” and sometimes bear signs saying “Not Hate, Heritage” and the Hate Flag.
It’s a heritage of hatred. Of forcing Americans to surrender their liberties before birth based on THEIR heritage and the color of their skins. Their Hate Heritage, and mine, killed about 300,000 AMERICANS who opposed their Slavery and another 180,000 of their own comrades. Fighting for nothing more, from their sick point of view, than Hatred of other human beings that is so fierce even today that they feel it was right to keep them in bondage.

So it doesn’t have to be a BIG flag, or even made of cloth, Just print on up on your color printer or go to Kinko’s or someplace similar and pay a quarter to have it printed, full color, on both sides. And burn it in front of the Racist TeaBags and other hate freaks who are pushing for endless war.

Burn the flag to show solidarity with the notion of People being more than, and worth more than, property. The Corporate Privateers have gotten a couple of Supreme Court decisions that their Corporations have more rights than actual Humans do.

Their support of the Insurance Lobby against Universal Health Coverage was based on the same principle of their “states rights” of our ancestors.
The “right” to own human beings, and that emancipation of those human beings was somehow an abridgment of Their Rights to own property. Only, the “property” was Human Beings.
The Insurance Lobby claims that a Government Health Care option would be such devastating competition that they would lose their “property” in other words, OUR business is their property. OUR health care is somehow THEIR property, to be bought and sold at their whim.

It’s the Dred Scott decision all over again, only this time it’s EVERY American who is deprived of our liberty without due process, EVERY American sold as chattel, as Slaves, to the Insurance Corporations.

Force them to admit their Slaver attitude.

Waving that particular Hate-Flag is like what the American National Socialist White Persons Party did in Skokie Illinois, parading Nazi Uniforms and Flags through a Jewish Neighborhood. They wave this Flag of Hate in contempt of all decency and morality.
