Conservatives Feel Entitled to Their Own Facts

As evidenced by the recent assault on history by conservatives.

Cases in point, arguing that:

• Alexander Hamilton, the most vociferous supporter of a strong government and against the powers of the states amongst the Federalists, who themselves supported a strong central government, opposed a strong central government.
• Texas text books rewriting history.
• That the deaths at Jamestown in its first years were because it was a socialist endeavor.
• The truth is that, "The Jamestown settlement was a capitalist venture financed by the Virginia Company of London — a joint stock corporation — to make a profit.
• Teddy Roosevelt was a socialist.
