For example just Google Timothy McVeigh or look in our kids history books…no references to the fact he was a Far Right extremist. They use the word “militia movement” “anti-Government” and other such “politically correct” nonsense.
Take the Wikipedia in English and there is no mention McVeigh was a Far Right Extremist. But look at other countries version of the same page. You will see the words “rechtsextremen Hintergrund ” or “Far Right Background” in the German version of Wiki and other German Encyclopedias and School Text books. If anyone knows a Far Right Background they would since they lived under Hitler for one thing and who they call a Far Right Radical. Yet here many on the Right in America, call him a lefty. I’d take the Germans words on Hitler any day over an American who wasn’t there and didn’t live through it. It is taught as such in German schools as well as all European schools . Yet here they do not use these terms. There is no worry of “political correctness” about it except for here in the States. Same goes for the Uni-bomber, a Left Wing Radical. So why can’t Americans accept what is as what is?
Germans can teach us a good lesson, as history is bound to repeat itself if it is not taught correctly and if we start calling a Right Wing Extremist’s like McVeigh a “militia movement” person as Wiki does as well as other American Encyclopedias do, when all the world calls him for what he really was…. A Right Wing Radical, then are we sure to repeat the same errors over again? Do you think Americans are ready to call it for what it is?
Is it just too politically correct to call a spade a spade these days?
