Reply #3: Ever talk about history with a Republican?

[ThoughtCriminal]

You get a view of weird and implausible alternate histories where:

The Earth and the Universe are about 6000 years old. There is no History before that.
There were no Terrorist attacks during the Bush Administration.
Slavery wasn't that bad.
The Great Depression started in 1932.
Germany did not declare war on the United States.
Unemployment was lower in 2008 than it was in 2000.
Deficits only happen (or matter) when a Democrat is in the White House.
Sarah Palin is really smart and cares about other people.
Martin Luther King was a Republican Conservative or a Leftist Communist depending on who's asking.
The "Founding Fathers" were all Fundamentalist Christians.
