Pretty sure most of those are common knowledge.

This is a terribly written article. The section on the last "myth" (about prison) is particularly cringe-worthy.

And the US is indeed a democracy under common usage of that word.

EnviroDude: Did you know that Jefferson proclaimed himself to be a Christian?

Yes, but in the moral sense of "Love thy neighbor'....
Not in the "I believe Jesus is the Son of God and belief in him is essential for salvation" sense.

Because Jefferson did not believe that.

Little do most Americans know they don't actually live in a democracy.

Little do most Americans who love to shout how we live in a Republic, not a Democracy, realize that this means about as much as a cat's fart in a tornado. It says far more about those who shout it than the actual country.

15) The United States is an egalitarian meritocracy

America was a land grab and a tax dodge with some subjugation of the natives and old world bankers financing it. And it was apparently, a very successful one. The land has been grabbed, the natives are opening casinos, the kidnapped foreign nationals have been released into the society that ill used them and still, largely, scorns them.

The old world bankers lineage, from the Rothschild clan on down to the Fed, is intact, putting all the wealth into the same hands they've been putting it into for years and the "free and democratic America" we lived in, briefly, was nothing but a bubble in the middle of this very protracted business plan that needed skilled people to hammer all that dirt into wealth.

America never existed. America was the new cash cow for the same Eurobanker elite that's been running sh*t since learned people wrote in Latin.And we are in the last days of the old girl giving milk sufficient to interest them. Welcome to the other shoe dropping.

Lesson? If you can get enough concentrations of wealth and regiment a small collection of families into a strict set of rules and organizations to carry out a business plan that covers 16 lifetimes, you can steal everything but the paint off the wall. Ha ha. We got what the poor people are always left with when the disciplined and educated are through taking what they want. Whorehouses, lottery games, bread and circuses, empty churches, and if you're lucky, a pot to piss in. And we will fall over and sink into the swamp unless we declare war on these bastards because history has shown that that's how the sh*t works.

Marcus Aurelius: Finally, some good old-fashioned class warfare.

It never went away. It just Hiroshimas every so often.

People who click TruTV links get what they deserve

A "TruTV" link? Pass.

Before the Wonkavator goes through the roof, can someone post the myths for those of us stuck behind the Websense Nazis?

I almost clicked a TruTV link.
fark you , subby.

Why do they have murca

Information comes from where it comes from. It is usually biased and slated. That's why we have historians. TruTV is just another pack of mooks with an editing suite, a broadcast license and a "reality" template. I got no reason to hate on that.

EnviroDude: Did you know that Jefferson proclaimed himself to be a Christian?

He also cut up a Bible to get rid of all the supernatural sh*t, and called it the "Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth." I'd say Jefferson's view that Jesus was not divine conflicts with prevailing contemporary Christian doctrine.

Christopher Columbus's first impressions of the Indians, saying "They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane.... They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."

Yup. First, every single Indian nation was the exact same, and exactly as he describes. That's why they never won a battle. They had cane spears and didn't even know which was the pointy end.

blocked at work. can someone posts the myths
