Eric Cantor belches nonsense from the land of make believe
Cantor says Americans are ‘better than’ everyone else
Yesterday at the Heritage Foundation, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) delivered a fiery, hyperbolic speech attacking the Obama administration’s national security policies. “America is at risk of slipping into the type of false sense of security which prevailed before that September morning,” he said, claiming that the President is “apolog[izing] on behalf of America” and being “naïve.” Last night on Fox News, Cantor continued his attacks. “We’ve done nothing wrong,” he said, adding that the U.S. doesn’t have to apologize for anything because Americans are “better than” the rest of the world:
CANTOR: What the President said in that speech [in Cairo] was that he hoped to return to the days when we had a partnership with the Muslim world. That America 20, 30 years ago enjoyed some type of good relationship that now has gone awry. I don’t see it that way. I don’t see that somehow we need apologize for anything that America has done. Are we a perfect nation? By no means. Are we better than any[one] else because of the exceptional nature of who we are? Yes.</em>
Our “exceptional nature” poisoned Native Americans in a genocidal push to Pacific ocean. It stole Hawaii. It nuked Japan. It rounded up its own citizens and put them in camps. It infected blacks in Alabama with STDs without their knowledge, and left them untreated as lab rats. It has overthrown governments, turned a blind eye to the ravaging of Timor, South Africa and hundreds of others around the globe. It entered WWII on a lie, the endless wars in the Middle East, all on lies, and it routinely quashes the rights of millions around the globe.
The only thing exceptional about America is that we let asshats like Eric Cantor strut and preen their ignorance and hatred to the world. No matter how untrue, and lethally ugly (because the rest of the world knows it’s bullshit, and is willing to die to prove it so) what he blathers is.
Run that up your exceptional flagpole, you cancer.
