Why Many Evangelical Christians Are More “Un-American” Than US Muslims
American Christians are more likely than their Western European counterparts to think of themselves first in terms of their religion rather than their nationality; . . . Among Christians in the U.S., white evangelicals are especially inclined to identify first with their faith; 70 percent in this group see themselves first as Christians rather than as Americans, while 22 percent say they are primarily American.
Obama Being Pushed To Be More “Patriotic” By The GOP
The nut-pack running for the Republican nomination for president are nutty for America. And anyone who isn’t as nutty as they are, why they must be Kenyan crypto-socialists. So in response to the continued criticism by these wackos, the President is having to defend his belief in American exceptionalism.
Which is sad. These dim-wits are still living in the era of “manifest destiny” and thinking that the USA is God’s favorite country of all. I expect that Rick Perry further believes that Texas is God;s favoritest state of the 50. They seriously can’t stand the idea that America should be seen as “just another country.
Why not? What is so awful about the idea that America might be less than perfect, that we might experience failure as well as success, that we might have to answer to the rest of the world when we fv<k up, the way we expect all other countries to do? We CAN’T see ourselves as “exceptional” without being in danger of sliding onto the path of the Roman Empire and the 3rd Reich. I’d prefer that we start to feel a little humility, and deport ourselves with a little courtesy toward everything in the wide world that ISN’T “America.”
Seriously… we ought to consider growing up.

Before Thinking
A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses
The US Republican race is dominated by ignorance, lies and scandals. The current crop of candidates have shown such a basic lack of knowledge that they make George W. Bush look like Einstein. The Grand Old Party is ruining the entire country’s reputation. . .
What a nice club that is. A club of liars, cheaters, adulterers, exaggerators, hypocrites and ignoramuses. “A starting point for a chronicle of American decline,” was how David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, described the current Republican race.
The Tea Party would take issue with that assessment. They cheer the loudest for the worst, only to see them fail, as expected, one by one. Which goes to show that this “movement,” sponsored by Fox News, has never been interested in the actual business of governing or in the intelligence and intellect that requires. They are only interested in marketing themselves, for ratings and dollars.
