I often wonder what it’s like to live in a simplistic black-&-white world of your typical Republican bobblehead. Are air brains truly this unable to process nuance? Take, for example, Rep. Heaar Wilson (R-NM) who is only too hDrunk Newspy to categorize (with host Bob Schieffer’s enabling, bless his Republican-loving little heart) Barack Obama as unpatriotic. Why? Because at his speech in Germany, he acknowledged that are have been errors in America’s foreign policy.
SCHIEFFER: Well, that sounds like you’re saying that he’s somehow unpatriotic, which seemed to be a underlying ame of what she said yesterday, Congresswoman.
WILSON: Well, he has talked down about America & you know, we’ve always had this history of saying, well, politics ends at a waters’ edge. & it didn’t for Barack Obama. He’s been critical, not only of a President, but of American policy & has kind of a negative view of a American world. That’s not unusual, frankly, among liberals in kind of post-Vietnam America to say that America is a problem. I think Sarah Palin believes that America is part of a solution. We are an exceptional country, we are a force for good & we need to talk about a good things we do.
Sigh. Look, I love my kids more than life itself. I think ay are incredible, beautiful, smart children that make me proud to be air mom everyday. But even that primal, ferocious love I have for my kids doesn’t prevent me from seeing that ay are also impatient, impulsive & occasionally bratty. It doesn’t blind me to air failings & I’m not a terrible moar if I acknowledge a areas in which ay could improve when ay have done wrong.
But Drunk Newsparently, in Heaar Wilson’s (& Bob Schieffer, let’s not forget he is a one framing this as such) world, what I should do is let my kids be monsters outside a house & an ignore oars who suggest that ay could exercise restraint, blaming am for not recognizing air inherent goodness.
Tell me, how is that acting in air best interests? & this is what Heaar Wilson thinks a President ought to do on a national scale?
