        Steve Doocy, is he wrongly accused of being a Racist & Mis-understood?
        "A Madrassa this is Huge" was he trying to say Senator Obama was a Subversive up to No Good?
        Like maybe President Obama might be a Terrorist and he had the Proof?
        Or was it just His "Deep Seated Hatred of Black People" that made Doocy so Uncouth?

        Speak truth to power.

      I sure hope that these new textbooks include this information:

      It is a historical fact that the United States entered World War II against Germany to shut down the Concentration Camps.


      "Try reading a textbook. Do I have to prove to you that we landed in Normandy on 6/6/44? I wasn't there, but I know it was a fact. What is there to prove - the statement speaks for itself. I guess you didn't study US history. If you are this dimwitted I can't help you."

      --Bobby Jindal Fan

      Because people like me who have been teaching US History for almost 16 years weren't even aware of this. Must be our public school education (except I went to a private, Catholic school.) If only Dr. Bobby would stop devoting his life to the Asian Markets and write textbooks for my students, I'm sure they'd all score 5s on the AP Exam!

        lol, maybe your problem JJamele is that you took the trouble to research history and think about it rather than spew some ill though out nonsense.

        You do know that Dr. Bobby also claims to have a higher IQ than not only the President but all of us, too. He claims that he and Sarah Palin have the same IQ of around 125 and that they are just smarter than all of us. I know my IQ and all I can say is BWWWHHHHAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAA!!

        Dr. Bobby is a fraud and probably is about 17 years old.

        He can't even spell the name of the subject of his PUBLISHED dissertation correctly.

          He also freaked when I posted links to both of the places he claimed his 'dissertation' was posted.

          As for IQ, I actually don't know my numbers per se, but after my mother passed (father about 10 years earlier), I got my PSAT and other scores, and had a 99th precentile, except in math, where I scored a miserable 87th percentile.

          So, using Faux News math, and BJF's contention, he must be in the 119th percentile?

          Just sayin'

      Couldn't he afford a gym membership and a haircut? This guy was inspired to write an awful book after attending tea party events?

      Golly, what a compelling speaker! And a real scholar, I'm sure...

      A real news organization would be embarrassed...

        He is a Tea Bagger and fan of Glenn and Rush.
        I got politically active 2 years ago, like so many people.

        I became politically active at the age of 16--at 56 I am still politically active!
        I did not have a Beverage to motivate me.
        I had ML King, J. Kennedy, B Kennedy, Hippies, Yippies, Yuppies , Lennon , Dylan and the Byrds to offer me the noble path to walk!

          Amen...

          I've been following politics closely since I was 19 years old...and let's just say I'm considerably older now.

      I wonder why?

      What was different two years ago?

      Think, think, think.

      Ah, so is this another "history" book lacking, you know, history? Is this where we finally learn that Hitler was an outright liberal progressive? Same for Mussolini? And Pol Pot? Is this how we learn that the only thing we needed to win the Vietnam war was MORE troops? Is this another trope to show out of context how our Founding Fathers would have been republicans today?

      Did anyone google Opus Americana? They want you to pay either %60 or %300 for a coffee table version of American History Lite. He didn't even do very good research. For instance, he doesn't explain the Fasci that you find all over the Capital city. He's such a patriot!

          Neither could I. But, just given how little was there, it isn't a very extensive or well researched book. I had a kid's picture book of the Presidents that came out in grocery stores one volume at a time that probably had more in it. Even if there isn't anything incorrect or offensive in the book, the brevity and the price tag make it offensive. Who needs to pay $60 for a pretenious kid's book?

        No, but if you remind her, she'll be sure to write the Forward for the Second Edition and get that right to ya. She's happy to do it, you betcha! And she'll let you know where to send the check.

      I'm suspicious, something's going on with this textbook noise, particularly the Texas angle. And in the other story this morning, the Fox guy was specific about the year 2000, to say that in Texas they're still teaching from textbooks that aren't what, post 9-11? There's something up here, not sure I want to know what either. I almost wish those planes had crashed into buildings in Houston instead of Texas, but fat chance of that happening, Houston is the saudi ruling family's USA headquarters (it's called "the Mecca of the West"), either that or I wish someone would finally declassify the findings of the JCI, the entire 28 page conclusion section of their report having been blacked-out by Houston's George W. Bush, on behalf of his "good friends" and business partners the saudi ruling family, who are identified in the JCI's report as being the financial and material support behind the attacks of September 11 2001.

        Yeah, funny how the Saudi connection was never officially explored.
