Professor Larry Schweikart, author of “48 Liberal Lies About American History: (That You Probably Learned in School)”, and professor of history at University of Dayton is Pat’s very special guest on this afternoon’s Jihadi Killer Hour.
A historian debunks four-dozen PC myths about our nation’s past.
Over the last forty years, history textbooks have become more and more politically correct and distorted about our country’s past, argues professor Larry Schweikart. The result, he says, is that students graduate from high school and even college with twisted beliefs about economics, foreign policy, war, religion, race relations, and many other subjects.
As he did in his popular A Patriot’s History of the United States, Professor Schweikart corrects liberal bias by rediscovering facts that were once widely known. He challenges distorted books by name and debunks forty-eight common myths. A sample:
*The founders wanted to create a “wall of separation” between church and state
* Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers
* Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima to intimidate the Soviets with “atomic diplomacy”
* Mikhail Gorbachev, not Ronald Reagan, was responsible for ending the Cold War
America’s past, though not perfect, is far more admirable than you were probably taught.
Larry’s young adult life was spent playing in well-known rock bands. I’m sure Pat will also ask Larry about that time in his life, and how those changing times effected how he is today.
A former rock musician, playing drums for 10 years, and opening for
Steppenwolf, the James Gang, Mother’s Finest, and others.
Larry’s currently working on a couple of books, each of which has a rock and roll chapter/element in it involving the way rock helped liberate the Iron Curtain countries.
Today’s earlier show is 2:00pm PST … 5:00pm EST.
Call in number is (646)-652-2357
