Gore Vidal and Revisionism
 

"In summary, then, Gore Vidal's American Chronicle novels tell a tale of American history that would seem passing strange to anyone whose understanding of the subject is confined to what has long been conventionally taught in American public schools and colleges. In Vidal's American history, the Founding Fathers are not graven saints, but fallible mortals driven as often by vanity, greed, and lust (whether for power or for the flesh of attractive slave girls) as by any belief in the nobility of their cause, and more often bent on benefiting themselves and the members of their social class than on benefiting Americans in general. In Vidal's American history, Abraham Lincoln preserved the Union at the cost of destroying everything about it that had made it worth preserving — the protections supposedly afforded by the Constitution to the inalienable individual rights of American citizens. In Vidal's American history, a cabal of racist imperialists had seized control of the federal government within scarcely more than a hundred years of the Constitution's ratification, and sent its young men on a rampage of international meddling and mass murder that culminated in the total destruction of two Japanese cities. In Vidal's American history, it was the United States, not the Soviet Union, that launched and then prolonged the Cold War."

Fuck that commie faggot.

I haven't read any of these novels. I will, though.

I was at the bookstore earlier, should have bought one...

Got a kindle? Just go to The Pirate Bay or your fave bt site.

No. I like paper.

Greed is often a whim of the moment.

BANANAS RIPEN, AND TITS SAG.

In Vidal's American history, the Founding Fathers are not graven saints, but fallible mortals driven as often by vanity, greed, and lust (whether for power or for the flesh of attractive slave girls) as by any belief in the nobility of their cause, and more often bent on benefiting themselves and the members of their social class than on benefiting Americans in general. Vidal's depiction of the Founding Fathers and the US is endemic among Jews and might well describe themselves.

Hear it from the Jews themselves if you don't mind getting a little sick.

kindle, good purchase.

It's both.

I prefer to read a book, on paper, by the soft light of an incandescent lightbulb. Call me a caveman...
