Blinded by the Myth of “American Exceptionalism”

Some “conservative” bloggers have been sanctimoniously asserting that Putin should “renounce his association with the KGB,” the “former” Russian domestic spying agency, if he wants “the world” to take him seriously.  At the same time, these “conservatives” publicly support NSA spying on every single American, the PATRIOT Act, warrantless wiretapping and eavesdropping, etc.,  and they are not demanding that any American politicians “renounce” their association with the CIA, the KGB’s counterpart.  These are the some of the same individuals who supported President George H.W. Bush, a former head of the CIA.   Further proof that politics makes people either stupid, evil, or both.
