Not just a history text but an AP history text rewrites the second amendment to suit them. Everyone involved in writing it this way, editing it this way and approving it's publication this way should be fired.

AP History Textbook Rewrites the Second Amendment | Godfather Politics

WOW! That's terrible. The next thing you know someone will be re-writing the entire Bill of Rights!

 

[layoutshooter]

No need too, they are just going to do away with it. Just ask the IRS what THEY think about the First Amendment. OR the BATFE and the 5th or the 2nd.

“The main history book utilized in the Advanced Placement U.S. History classes for juniors in Denton ISD is titled: American Pageant. This is a history book that has had a strong reputation for historical facts for many years. The American Pageant, the official textbook, gives the exact Bill of Rights.”

The book in question, U.S. History: Preparing for Advanced Placement Exams, is a supplemental instructional aid and not the official textbook for any history classes. The teachers and staff are aware of this ‘summary statement’ and are teaching the amendments from the classroom textbook, American Pageant.

The only approved textbook for these classes is American Pageant. All other materials are “supplemental.” Please be assured that Denton ISD history teachers are disseminating the correct information on the Second Amendment.”

LDB,
Have you ever noticed that when you post one of your poorly written, biased and incomplete articles from "Godfather Politics" someone eventually posts the "full story" with more accurate and complete facts?
Wouldn't it be more productive for you to simply find the true story at the outset instead of constantly being corrected? Just sayin.

Where's the fun in that? It wouldn't get as many of the easy marks wound up.

...instead of constantly being corrected? Just sayin.

Corrected? Are you sure you don't mean duped?

Godfather Politics is famous for taking bits and piece of partial facts and creating their own narrative to fit their agenda. And they present their stories as not only true, but trustworthy, credible. And people do believe it. Largely it's those who are in the choir - they liked to be preached to, believe what they're told, and follow their leaders blindly.

But that shouldn't be surprising, since Godfather Politics is linked directly with Vision to America, a division of Christian Worldview Communications, LLC, founded in 2006 by Gary DeMar and Brandon Vallorani to “help America return to our Founding Father’s vision for a Christian Republic.” In other words, both are in effect "fundie" sites with very narrow fundamentalist views on how America should be, and should be run. One of, if not the most prolific poster on Godfather Politics is Gary Demar. Same one.

Where's the fun in that? It wouldn't get as many of the easy marks wound up.

Except, nobody's wound up.

Getting duped, and then pretending it's all a ruse just to get people wound up, kinda makes you look not all that different from the keyword in the thread title. Might be better if you viewed things, especially on the Internet, with a little healthy skepticism rather than believing blindly whatever soothes your wretched soul.

Just sayin'.

You were once a moderator, so you should know the code of conduct rather well. What you just stated above is your admittance to Trolling and Flaming. Your continual attempts to, "get the easy marks wound up" is an egregious violation of the forum rules.

What's hilarious is that the only "easy marks" that you managed to get "wound up" was the two rubes that tend to agree with your Trolling posts. Everyone else was politely telling you how poorly written, biased and apparently agenda driven your post and past posts have been.

It would seem that we have our very own Ted Cruz among us.

The irony of these comments about trolling is hillarious. One couldn't help himself but resort to name calling someone a rube in the very post he tries to lecture someone else about. Very dimwitted. We might have a Barry amongst us.

 

[OntarioVanMan]

coming right down to it...doesn't everyone have an agenda?....everyone wants to get their point across and only their point is the right one....just saying

 

[xiggi]

No some have enough sense to understand other peoples viewpoints. Even fewer are intelligent enough to take a serious look at them and compare them to their own ideas. Oh how I wish we had more of those people instead of the masses walking around with earplugs in and blinders on.

The irony of this comment about irony is hilarious [when spelled correctly]: the writer couldn't help belittling [dimwitted] and namecalling [Barry] in the very post he tries to lecture someone else about.
You just can't make this stuff up, lol.

If he did that, then many in here would be bored and having nothing to do....

Eewww. Spelling police among us. One merely has to read most of your posts to know that you CAN make things up.

With regards to the criticism the OP received for posting from a "bias" website. Yes they have some particular biases,but so do most of the rest of the sources. The CBS link that was provided did have a few more "details" and "facts", but it also only gave an opinion from ONE constitutional professor. They didn't have an opposing view from a professor or "expert' in constitutional law. Possible bias here with CBS as well. They merely interviewed a long serving professor from UT Arlington who gave his opinion and that's that, story filed.(He also so happened to affirm the liberal point of view regarding the 2nd amendment.) There are many constitutional teachers who don't teach correctly the constitution. I mean, Barry was a constitutional professor. Most of us know now how much he is trashing the constitution. I'm not saying the fellow in the article is as lousy about the constitution as him, but regarding the 2nd amendment, he is not being accurate.

From article:
CBS found a good example of this mindset in Dr. Joseph Ignagni, a Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas. He claimed that the book’s version of the Second Amendment wasn’t inaccurate until 2008, arguing that the individual’s right to bear arms has grown stronger in the last decade, as more courts side with individuals in gun law cases. “Until 2008, that was not a fact. Not in terms of the Supreme Court. Not in terms of what most people believed the Founding Fathers were intending,” said Dr. Ignagni. Baloney, to be colloquial. “Most people” means “most people he hung around with,” for the broader interpretation of the amendment to guarantee gun ownership has been furiously maintained by half the population or more and much of the scholarly community since it was ratified over 200 years ago. The textbook’s version of its meaning has never been a fact, but an ideological contention, and for a textbook to print it as fact before or after 2008 is inexcusable.

Eewww. Spelling police among us.

Nope. I usually don't bother, but when the correct spelling is used in the post you're 'copying' but you fail to copy it, that's just hilarious. Right up there with ragging on the same namecalling you resort to in the very same post.

One merely has to read most of your posts to know that you CAN make things up.

Without imagination & creativity, some problems would never get solved.

I mean, Barry was a constitutional professor.

Perhaps a minor point, but he was just a guest lecturer, not a professor.

Appreciate if you don't post your comment in my quote space. Kind of hillarious though it looks like me quoting me or you quoting you quoting me or something.
