Tonight, what we aren't being told and what your kids are not learning in school about American History..Over the last eighty years, the progressives have been slowly but surely rewriting the history of our country in order to transform us into a more secular nation. Tonight, we begin to reclaim our true history and set the record straight.

@topicalinjection So thomas edison was stupid? And George Washington too? Because by your definition, if you dont go to college you are stupid. Btw, he even brings experts on to confirm what he says

[EnslaveTheEmos]

@atheistworstenemy when he talks about marin luther king, he brings on his niece....and thats a fringe political lunatic?...

barton belongs to political organizations?....

and he paraphrases?....

what show are you watching? barton quotes documents, he brings documents on the show, and reads them. they did an entire hour of barton reading documents he brought in for fuck sake.

you need to know what your talking about before attacking something.

I notice Beck mentions Wilson locking up dissenters, but doesn't bring up the fact that Lincoln did the same thing. I'm not defending them, I think they were both awful presidents, but I just find it interesting.

Those people in the audience must be nuts if they are getting taught by Glenn Beck, not exactly a brain box.

To anyone watching this I felt I had to comment on Glenn Beck's opinion of FDR. He suggested that he was not loved and they put term limits because he was so hated. He forgot to mention that FDR was the only president to serve longer than two terms, the only president to serve four terms. The real question should be if they hated him so much why did they keep him on for twice as long as any other previous president?

[SuperMantilla]

I notice Beck failed to explain that the "Roaring Twenties" were partially attributed to American war profiteering during World War 1. Despite claiming neutrality America maintained active trading of arms and raw material to western Europe. In addition America extended credit to Europe,some of which was not paid until after World War 2. Then profited during the post-war reconstruction, all while remaining out of range from any land-based enemy action, while the European economy was destroyed

People who listen to Beck's version of American History need to do a data dump right away, and start reading for themselves. He's incapable of viewing history in accordance with the "times". He's unable to erase what he knows has occurred since each era he interprets, and applies a modern perspective to the past. His interpretation of the Founders is backwards. He sucks up to a lot of historical figures who would have been staunch liberals today... Jefferson... Paine... Franklin...

[garethac81]

So, Woodrow Wilson was "the spookiest president we've ever had"?

Thanks for that pearl of wisdom, Glenn. We'll all be tuning in next week to find out which other American presidents you've had vaguely uneasy feelings about. Jesus fucking Christ...and he passes this off as a HISTORY lesson. *facepalm*
