Reblogged from THOUGHTS OF AN OLD MAN
Whether conservative, liberal, libertarian, independent or dumbbell, one should be honest.
Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels was the master of the “big lie” tactic in which a lie, no matter how outrageous, is repeated often enough that it will eventually be accepted as truth. Goebbels explained:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
I had a lady tell me today that just because public Universities have taken God out does not mean the Universities are not good. And we in America are being taught today that it is not only good take God out of things having to do with being governed but it is the right thing to do.
We have heard how these same Universities are rewriting history. What does it mean to rewrite history? It means to change the facts concerning what actually happened. Below is a recent example.

SICKENED AND SADDENED SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS? THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OB…SERVER: Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington , DC . I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I’m a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of ‘the greatest war,’ with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there. On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor : ‘Yesterday, December 7, 1941–a date which will live in infamy–the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.’ One elderly woman read the words aloud: ‘With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.’ But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. ‘Wait a minute,’ she said, ‘they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with ‘so help us God.’ Her husband said, ‘You are probably right. We’re not supposed to say things like that now.’ ‘I know I’m right,’ she insisted. ‘I remember the speech.’ The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away. Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, ‘Well, it has been over 50 years; she’s probably forgotten.’ But she had not forgotten. She was right.. I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading — ‘Flags of Our Fathers’ by James Bradley. It’s all about the battle at Iwo Jima .. I haven’t gotten too far in the book. It’s tough to read because it’s a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific. But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt ‘s speech to the nation ends in ‘so help us God.’ The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn’t fool the people who were there. Roosevelt ‘s words are engraved on their hearts. Now I ask: ‘WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????’ Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets. People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be…and He always will be! If you agree, this is an article worth mentioning to your friends. And to those whom write a blog it should be reblogged. More later as I recall…………
