John once again joins us in studio on today&#8217;s Just Right, this time for a discussion about a necessary history lesson &#8211; about history.<\/p>\n<p>Paradoxically, with each success of <strong>the &#8216;left,&#8217;<\/strong> the very problems the left campaigns against get worse. The increasing <strong>violence, confrontations, protests, hollow accusations of racism and sexism<\/strong>, environment-destroying environmentalism, and causes that always hide sinister goals and intentions, have taken a toll &#8211; with the greatest price being paid by the very people in who&#8217;s name the &#8217;cause&#8217; was fought.<\/p>\n<p>With a track record of consistent failures, the Left is forced to deal with <strong>a very inconvenient history<\/strong>. It deals with that history by ignoring it. The best way to &#8216;ignore&#8217; history is by fictionalizing it; and in so doing, evade and avoid knowledge of the root causes behind real historical events. You could say that &#8216;not talking&#8217; about real causes is the cause of the left&#8217;s lost causes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the most dangerous things you can do, especially on a radio talk show, is to talk about intellectual patterns in history, because there&#8217;s nothing that puts an audience to sleep faster than that.&#8221; says John.<\/p>\n<p>While that is undoubtedly true of most &#8216;talk&#8217; shows, Just Right is no stranger to &#8216;dangerous talk.&#8217; as we demonstrate that &#8220;we don&#8217;t pander&#8221; to any audiences.<br \/>\n&#8220;Dangerous talk?&#8221; You bet.
