www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BKDD3BDNHgI think I died a little inside, although I laughed through every second of the video (yes, even the short musical intro). It's from some effort by Mike Huckabee to (and I paraphrase): "educate children about the real facts on our nation's history" </paraphrase>. learnourhistory.com/copypasta: Welcome to Learn Our History, where kids discover history through entertaining animated videos! I co-founded this company to give children a fun, fresh way to learn about America’s rich past and most influential people.
Many of our schools and teachers today haven't found ways to make history for kids fun. Instead, they’re teaching with political bias that distorts facts for the sake of political correctness. As a result, our national pride and patriotism are in jeopardy. Go watch the video right now if you haven't.

I love how the moment I clicked on the link, there was another link to Reagan, "One of America's greatest presidents".

OH MY GOD.  These approach Chick Tract levels of bizarre unintentional parody. |

Here's a WWII one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP6jyGv6K2M&feature=relatedIt may be blatant propaganda, but it's hilarious all the same. I kinda want to see one with the Founding Fathers next, if only to see just how much history Huckabee can get wrong in a 2 minute video. |

Did he talk about how great Rotha Lintorn-Orman was?*
Cause she was a founder of the British fascist party who's views are admired by one Patrick Buchanan.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is still the definitive time travel history movie. As long as the Huckabee ones lack Napoleon on a water slide, they'll never live up to that standard. And even if they do, they'll still somehow manage to make it fail.

I did have time to notice that they have a picture of Reagan alongside portraits of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, yet none of Lincoln , Jefferson or either of the Roosevelts. Seriously, the guy who fucked the middle class is one of America's greatest presidents? Really!? |

Dude, Teddy Roosevelt rode atop a fucking moose! How does that not make him one of our greatest presidents ever?
Edit: Oh how nice. He disabled comments for his videos. Can't have people arguing against him and pointing out any mistakes, now can we?

Paraphrased quote from the end of the WW2 trailer "What we see and hear isn't always what you read in books, but that's ok. We know the truth and that's what matters."
Holy shit.
