The ignorance of liberals....

   ....was [1]on display again at the Emmy Awards. Sally Field stated,
   "if the mothers ruled the world there would be no goddamn wars in the
   first place".
   If she had studied history rather than acting, she might have thought
   of more than a few women who either led their nations during a time of
   war or fought in wars. Jeanne d'Arc and the Amazons come to mind
   immediately, but the list is much larger than that. British Queen
   [2]Boadicea led a failed rebellion against the Romans in 60 AD. Other
   Queens that come to mind are [3]Elizabeth I, [4]Catherine the Great
   and [5]Isabella of Spain, all of whom started wars (and won them.)
   A famous woman of India, the beautiful [6]Rani of Jhansi rebelled
   against the British in the Mutiny of 1857.
   Going back in history, Ms. Fields might have thought of [7]Cleopatra
   II, for example, who led a rebellion in Egypt or [8]Hatshepsut, who,
   though thought of as peaceful, was known to embark on conquests of her
   own. Or perhaps she might have recalled [9]Artemisia who fought
   against the Greeks in the battle of Salamis.
   I could go on for quite some time, but what would be the point?
   Liberals create their alternate histories to serve their purposes and
   the uneducated fools who listen to them follow like sheep to the
   slaughter. Unable or unwilling to think for themselves, they swallow
   without question the "feel-good" emotional rhetoric of the left
   without a second's thought to reality or consequences.
   Is it any wonder liberals have sought to destroy our educational
   system and obliterate any memory of western history? Ignorance is the
   weapon they have chosen to fool the masses. It's worked quite well.
