Mike Huckabee Fixes American History (VIDEO)
Don't worry, American youth: Mike Huckabee has fixed American history. No longer will you suffer under what Huckabee calls "the 'blame America first' attitude prevalent in today's teaching."

Late Wednesday, Huckabee announced LearnOurHistory.com, a sort of BMG Music Club for what he calls "unbiased" historical lessons for kids. For around $15 each, the company will send you a new animated tale of American history each month, told through the eyes of a gang of time traveling kids.

The first video (available for just $9.95, with a gift bag full of goodies)? "The Reagan Revolution." Naturally.

In this 90-second preview of the video, one sees a tale of an America in 1970s decay, where unemployed muggers in "DISCO" tanktops threatened anyone they could find with knives.

Then came a man that could restore hope to the land: Ronald Reagan.

Check it out:

1. "He knows how to explain things in a way that people can understand!"
I love the deep southern accent on the kid in New Hampshire

3. What cracked me up is how they showed 1977 US city as a graffiti
on every building junk cars on the street with thugs but none of those events happened until after Reagan was in office. Talk about rewrites of history. Tear down this wall and the wall shows a hole when fact is it wasn't until after Reagan left office as well as Gorbachev never brought down the wall until German citizens chipped away at the wall until the government finished what citizens started. Ah hell why let facts get in the way of a good story, it never stopped some historians in the past, remember Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year who only managed to ride, except old Paul didn't get far before he was captured by the British but hey why ruin a good myth?
