Chuck Baldwin: "Profound historical illiteracy"

"Profound historical illiteracy"

February 22, 2000

This is the birthday of our first and greatest president, George
Washington. Sadly, the current generation of Americans has all but
forgotten the courage, faith and sacrifice of this mighty champion of
freedom.

 This unfortunate fact was noted yesterday in the Washington Times. A
recent survey, "Losing America's Memory, Historical Illiteracy in the
21st
Century," was released disclosing the miserable condition of history
knowledge among our nation's college seniors. Not just students but
teachers as well are historical ignoramuses.

      First Presidency


      Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force.
      Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

      Speech of January 7, 1790 reported in the Boston Independent Chronicle, January 14, 1790.

      On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ...
      it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great ...
