Michael Medved, in another of his series of columns challenging assertions held by cosmopolitan internationalists, and thus some of the Left. Before it was the U.S. and slavery, and the U.S. and this continent’s native tribes. Now, its foreign policy since its founding, and specifically the ideas that on one hand, America used to be isolationist, and on the other, it is “imperial”:
The nation’s lack of imperial designs revealed itself most clearly, perhaps, at the Versailles Conference following America’s triumphant (and very costly) involvement in World War I. Despite the fact that President Wilson clearly dominated the proceedings, the United States remained the only one of the victorious allied powers that sought no territorial or colonial enhancement at the proceedings.
And Medved throws in biting condemnations of both Noam Chomsky and Harold Pinter — what’s not to like about that?
Hooray for Noam Chomsky and Harold Pinter who both live in the real world of planet earth, the same world that I live in.
ReplyDeleteMedved must live in/on some parallel earth world.
Meanwhile I think this site offers multiple reasons for debunking Medved's silliness.
