Issue Position: Restore True History - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Issue Position

Without knowing the real history of this country, we cannot understand the true reasoning behind the Constitution and our founders' actions.

If we are not familiar with the significant events of this country, we cannot understand the true meaning behind our laws and traditions. If we do not understand the true meaning of laws and tradition, they can be molded into a new meaning to fit a particular issue for the day (separation of church and state, 3/5th clause, second amendment, 14th amendment, etc.)

Today, history is distorted using 6 tools:

Deconstructionism -- steady flow of negatives about traditional values and heroes.

Poststructuralism -- asserting that each individual must interpret history for themselves based on one's personal views of today.

Modernism -- examining historical incidents and persons as if they lived today.

Minimalism -- oversimplifying everything into easy answers, not requiring thought or analysis.

Academic Collectivism -- relying on claims from experts rather than original documents or sources.

Exclusionism -- leaving out the opposing position (perhaps the worst and much harder to identify than positive vilification).

"Remember the former things of old" (Isaiah 46:9), "call to remembrance the former days" (Hebrews 10:32 KJV), 1 Corinthians 10, history provides lessons and illustrates principles that we can still apply today.
