    In his speeches, President Barack Obama says this too often. It has become one of his favorite expressions. The liberals, progressives and leftists join him on this perennial darling platitude when you oppose their ideology on cultural, moral and economic issues, "grow up, you're on the wrong side of history."

    What are they saying, really? What if you question their integrity and keep the conversation going? Is that why we, free thinkers, are on the wrong side of history according to them? Who decides who is wrong? Who decides they are right in the first place without even being given the chance to talk issues over with the likes of Obama and his cohorts?

    What if I don't want their political statement and check it out myself if I'm in the wrong history? I think I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

    It sounds to me that they are trying to get people in line with their agenda, much the same as people became increasingly more compelled to join the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany. I believe that if I do the right thing, it doesn't matter if I am on the winning side. I'm still on the right side.

    "Defeat only comes when the losing side accepts defeat." It's the likes of socialist mufti Hitler, and his twin Obama that would not surrender to the right course of history: humanity's freedom to God-given life and destiny, desire for peace with truth, and right to democracy, free enterprise and hard work.

    To me, that phrase wrong side of history simply means you disagree with his statement (or policy). But we know that history has many inaccuracies so it's not proper to cite history as being on the wrong or right side. Just recently, there is this movie with the title General Luna. It is the story of the Philippine revolution during the Spanish invasion. Luna said that the problem is within us Filipinos. And the ending proved it.... Luna was killed by a Filipino soldier upon the instruction of the president. Gee, that's too difficult to rebut.
