Mike Huckabee's Masterpiece

by Jaime Weinman on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 11:11pm - 14 Comments

If this doesn’t become an internet sensation I will be very disappointed. Mike Huckabee’s latest venture is Learnourhistory.com, an attempt to make money by selling cheaply-produced videos enable parents to teach their children the real history of the U.S. without the bias they get in teacher-controlled schools:

Many of our schools and teachers today haven’t found ways to make history for kids fun.  Instead, they’re teaching with political bias that distorts facts for the sake of political correctness.  As a result, our national pride and patriotism are in jeopardy.

The site’s YouTube channel has posted some excerpts, which are almost indescribable. The best I can come up with is “Sherman and Peabody meets Jack Chick.” Here’s the story of the hellish crime-ridden CarterScape that was America before the Reagan Revolution:

And here’s a preview of their history of World War II, which includes this quote: “What we see and hear isn’t always the same as what we read in books or see on TV. So what? We know the truth, and that’s good enough for us!”

    This story reminds me of the Creation Museum.

    I commend them for actually finding the financing to get it built, but I’m really impressed that they’ve had a million people visit it already. Barnum would have been proud.

    From his website: “What’s worse, some teachers and education boards are using history
    and social studies classes as their soap box to promote their own
    political opinions and biases!”

    I’m so thankful Mike is setting us straight with thoughtful and unbiased historical research.

    Now, do I use his site to teach irony or to teach bias and propaganda?

    This is what the GOP has become…take cheap shots at Democrats and then sell cheap videos rewriting history. This way they can lie and tell their own truth at the same time.

      @yahoo-IOQVGOIMP3JHFRDEIQCTMJ6DXU:disqus ”Lies”?  The GOP . . . ‘lies’?  No one lies like the Left – you are living proof.  I’ll give you a lie out of the mouth of a Democrat, and you give me an equivalent: “It’s not that I believe in bigger government; I don’t!” – Barack Hussein Obama

        So.. why exactly are you using Obama’s middle name again?  Why did I never see John Sidney McCain?

        I’m calling you a racist Islamaphobic jackass, in case you haven’t figured it out.
