The next symbolic act will be to outlaw the American Flag. How far behind this betrayal of half the American men killed in the Civil War is the American Flag for all the things it represents from the point of view of so many who would betray us in the name of being politically correct. History can't be denied but it can be hidden. The repression of history results in psychological problems for entire generations.

     King Tut and all the Amarna Kings were deleted form the egyptian list of Kings and from history by the Pharaoh Horemheb . The results of that repressed knowledge is that the truth about who Akhenaten was is still a controversial and psychological mystery. The present day Egyptians under Mubarac wanted to rewrite history and politically excise the other monotheist , the Jews and christians, by controlling all the digs ( Zahi Hawass) and not allowing scientific searches ( the Japanese DNA test of 2000 which was stopped in it's tracks and labeled , along with Ahmed Osman , a "Zionist Plot"). but the first monotheist was Akhenaten who might have later become the "Moses' of the Hebrews, and also might have been the historic Oedipus.These characteristics have haunted the world since that bygone era of about 1300 BC. We only found evidence of Akhenaten in about 1905 and of course with the discovery of the "Tut"" tomb in 1920. Historians were scratching their heads about this and still are . The history has been clouded with supernatural explanations instead of the historical evidence for generations trying to explain the tenets of monotheism which was the birth of intolerance starting with Akhenaten and his edict that there would be one god under penalty of death . That is the basic tenet of monotheism,"Thou shalt have no other god before me ." All the Abrahamic monotheist , the Jews, the Christians , and the Muslims are still waging war under the same simple yet very similar flag ,a flag that was originated with Akhenaten, a heretic, an aberration , a child molester ,the leader , an iconoclast ,the first of all monotheist, and the betrayer of his fellow Egyptians ,nearly bringing down the kingdom in his religious zealotry. How far will we go to hide history? What makes our current actions any different than the actions of the State of Islam in tearing down archaeological sites in their control that depict idols ? Going back and judging history ,destroying history, will not change history. The only way to benefit from the mistakes of the past is to recognize and teach what happened in the past . Attacking metaphors is not the answer. Don't forget the "Dark Ages" when the Catholic church made reading a dirty word. Don't forget Pol Pot murdering the people in Cambodia that wore glasses. Burning books is not only stupid it is detrimental to our success.

  The American Revolution was before the invention by Mr. Guillotine but that invention should be held over the heads of our Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court to remind them of why there was an American Revolution. Did Ireland give up? I don't remember but this preface to a song could be said about the American experience now, from my point of view : " ..The Generation that is now growing old in Ireland has almost forgotten it’s heroes.They have walked hard and bloody ways and now we walk soft and flowery ones.They have learned to give up all things and we have learned a way to gain all things with land and good living and fellowship with our foes.But the hills of Ireland cry out at the infidelity that would barter a tradition as old as nationhood for a thing even so pressing as peace.

But this our heroes have done for us . For their spirits are indwelt in the places where they lived and the hills of Ireland shall be rent , and her cities leveled to the ground,and her children driven out upon the high seas of the world before those voices can be stilled that bid us be faithful still ,and make no peace with England until Ireland is ours.

“ So come all ye young rebels and list while I sing...” (This was written and spoken by ((I think)) the Clancy Brothers before they sang "The Patriot Game", written before Dylan wrote "With God on Our Side" which was nearly plagiarism and I don't know how he got away with it )I have tried several times to recite the words before singing the song but couldn't keep the tears from ruining my performance.I don't even try anymore.
