  1. I went to school in the '70s and we were taught My Country Right or Wrong, Manifest Destiny, the Union side of the Civil War (and Lincoln) were without sin, and it was entirely over slavery, and NOTHING was mentioned about robber barons in cahoots with the government to rape the South after the Union won. It wasn't perfect before the woke religion. It was a different form of government indoctrination, and we were lied to every day by MSM without knowing any better. When Walter Cronkite said "And that's the way it is, this 3rd of November, 1972," it was NOT how it was, but we all thought his word was passed down from God, himself. Woke needs to be criticized. But don't blindly defend some fictitious golden era from our past. Don't defend the bullcrap. Nobody then or now questioned the wisdom and compassion of LBJ's Great Society in the mainstream. Ardor for Vietnam had cooled by the late '60s, kind of like our ardor for destroying Russia is cooling, now, but it took YEARS to get the government to give up its "domino theory" narratives. The $hit we did in S. America and Africa was as un-American as you can get, but we were "fighting communism." Dirty tricks, coups, and mass murder were OK, if the dictator in question was "a key ally in the fight against totalitarianism." Things aren't really that different now except more people have access to more information and the ideology has shifted to anti-family, pro-socialism, and "I'm a victim, he's a victim, she's a victim. Wouldn't you like to be a victim, too?" That's bad. But the reason we're vulnerable to this stuff, now, is because of the excesses and blindness of leaders 50 and 60 years ago. I see a lot of conservatives yearning for the good old days. I'm a libertarian, and I don't want the future dominated by a small ruling-class elite, like it has been my entire life.
