O’Reilly’s American Exceptionalism
April 5, 2014
“Recovering Republican” John Lofton did something that I can’t do without vomiting: he watched the O’Reilly show. He reports that O’Reilly said that “the latest Ft. Hood murders are the price we pay for ‘freedom of movement.’ We are, he adds, not like Communist China where people are ‘under government supervision,’ where ‘the government tells folks what to do and when to do it.'” This is American exceptionalism at its worst. I guess the NSA does not exist and the government never tells us what to do and when to do it.
Thanks John, for keeping me from getting sick.
