Epilogue: Still haven’t entered deep depression? Here ya go!
The agenda of this book is not even veiled. Revisionist historians no longer attempt to sneak their views into our textbooks. They are blatant. By the time I got through this book I was fighting depression. The continual pounding of how evil Europeans were to minorities and the earth and how dependent the west was on others are so one sided that it would make you laugh if you weren’t so depressed. The books assertions about my own heritage, Mormons, was so blatantly false and full of easily discredited rumors, that I couldn’t help doubting the rest of the book. The author purposely leaves out any positive history that might interfere with his hard hitting negativism about America and its history. It makes me wonder why these kinds of historians, who hate America and her history, are so interested in history. It’s an oxymoron. Why would they love a subject that runs down their own heritage? What drives them to such works? Is it a sick perversion of pursuing truth? How can this kind of negativism drive someone? I don’t understand it. Why don’t they go into a field they can love? Can it really be that they love running down America? Do they get up each morning with new ideas for how they can debunk another evil American value? What kind of dark prism are they looking through? What misery.Man, I feel so sorry for these people.
