It's telling how quickly you can respond with your laundry list.
I should really give you credit for the knowledge though. I've learned history from you I may not have elsewhere.
We could go the old school route, point by point- but what you took issue with was "blinders". After reading you for some 14 odd years, your focus has always been on what you can find that's despicable about US.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but people like you and other liberals I know seem to WANT the US to fail. They rejoiced in Abu Ghraib because they'd be able to parade another of "America's Great Hypocrisies" before the world.
Years ago I asked you if your criticism of your country was do to your desire to improve it, or see it fall.
I don’t give a good goddamn on a personal level what the Spaniards did! I’m not a Spaniard.
I do care about what my country does.
With that I hope I got my answer.
