Too late for that Bonny...."other idiot politicians already started on early campaigns"?

Tom Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann, Rudy Guiliani, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum...

Had three drop out already! Donald Trump, Mike Hukabee and Governor Daniels.

But of course, Ms. Palin isn't campaigning yet. She is just on a "family vacation" in a bus with her name in HUGE LETTERS on the side of it and Fox personalities (I refuse to call them reporters!) on the bus with her.

I guess she just wants to share her tremendous knowledge of US history with her daughter. Maybe she can get Ms. Bachmann to help her - all about the Revolutionary War starting in Concord New Hampshire.

What I find most amusing is these so called "patriots" who get positively orgasmic when they hear the words "founding fathers" don't have a clue about the history they profess to love.

Sounds like they all need to attend summer school & brush up on their history.

OK, so how DID it go down then? I'd love to read everyone's take on it.

**Edwina's Secretary** · 06-06-2011, 10:27 AM

Gosh Puck, I did not realize you too are not familiar with US history! I am sure your public library has lots of books you could check and use to brush up.

Then perhaps you could share them with Ms. Palin and Ms. Bachmann!

**Grace** · 06-06-2011, 10:58 AM

And it's Jon Huntsman (Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr), not Tom.

ES, never fails to entertain.

You REALLY should run for office. You have all the necessary skills.

Nope, not allowed to mate.
Schools use BOOKS. It has been pointed out to me previously by one of our forums esteemed armchair historians that American History is'nt correct if it is obtained from BOOKS.
I quote "Isn't it wonderful to be a American and have foreigners tell you what our Politics are all about? Hey, they even know our History...they read a book somewhere."
I must write to Professor Ian Tyrrell about that one.
But no....he's Australian. What would he know about American history ???

Wom,

When a person takes the test to become an American they have to answer questions about our history.

Sad to say that many of these fledging citizen's know MORE about our history than us 'mericans do.

That my friend, I wouldn't doubt.
I'm a bit of a history buff. I love it. ALL world history. I have a vast library on many subjects, but History books would have to form the bulk of it.
OOPS !!! Did I mention books again ???
