Philadelphia Inquirer Columnist Says You Shouldn’t Celebrate The 4th Of July

Because America doesn’t deserve to celebrate.  Because of, you know, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and stuff.

See, we’re all bad.  Because we’re American.  And we don’t deserve to be happy.

On a related note, if anyone else has seen a more classic case of liberal self-loathing I’d like to see it.  Because this guy is pretty much textbook.

Chris Satullo’s hair shirt must be very uncomfortable in July, but then, I guess that’s the way Chris and his fellow travelers prefer it.

He fails the test of Patriotism.

Can one then love their country while recognizing that, as a human institution, our country can be wrong?  Certainly.  Would anyone who has seriously read from the history of these United States seriously claim that our history does not include incidents both wrong and egregiously wrong?  I certainly wouldn’t.  Let us then define the rational patriot as those who recognize these flaws and who love their country no less for them.

I heard Chris Satullo interviewed on the radio this afternoon. He seems to think the constitution is a suicide pact and has no problem with holding that notion for “the greater good.”

Rob,
Why, oh why, do you give these leftist extremists any credence at all. Just like the right, lefties have looneys in their corner, too. I am sure you know that. So what is your purpose here?

You failed too, as I recollect.  I’d have thought this “gent” was your intellectual next door neighbor.
