Schoolhouse Rock for Aaron Schock

During the Republican primary for the 18th Congressional District Aaron Schock got a lot of criticism for suggesting that we threaten to send nuclear weapons to Taiwan. I was more shocked by his suggestion that the United States covertly fund "Freedom Fighters" around the world such as Reagan did in Nicaragua and Afghanistan.

There must be something Schock missed when he studied the conservative revisionist history of the Reagan administration. A friend showed me this Schoolhouse Rock video that may help Aaron sort things out since he missed that day in school.



I can't wait for the chance to ask Schock to expound on his support for U.S. sponsored terrorism in a post 9/11 world. Aaron should ask Ray LaHood why he voted to close the School of the Americas to get a viewpoint from a less extremist Republican.

Will,

I have to give it to you. That video was very good. I was in my teens during the Iran Contra affair and never really took the time to understand it to form an opinion. I will be checking out Wiki today. But this was entertaining!

Thanks Rick. After posting this I did a google search and found a site by the video's creator:
