 Dear Joe Scarborough: More Americans Hate America Than You Think

Joe Scarborough needs to get out a little bit more. Americans' hatred for their own country is rising, especially among the young who are Bernie Sanders's most ardent supporters.

On Wednesday morning on “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough dismissed a Princeton University professor’s explanation of Bernie Sanders’s electoral appeal despite Sanders’s open, lifelong admiration for socialist dictators.

“Who is telling him to continue to defend Castro, to continue to defend the Sandinistas, to continue to defend the Soviets? I think he can check the [polling] crosstabs, it’s doesn’t play well in Charleston,” Scarborough said.

“I think two things,” responded panelist Eddie Glaude Jr., chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. “One, I think it’s Bernie Sanders being true to his brand, that he’s consistent, he’s authentic, that there are particular segments of folks who fought the battles of the 1960s and held particular positions around the revolutions around the world — particularly those revolutions that were about decolonization, right, fighting back against the West.”

Note that Glaude is spewing the Communist Party line here about Communist-incited and -funded proxy conflicts during the Cold War. It not incidentally is the perspective shared by the 2.6 million-copy-selling “A People’s History of the United States,” by Howard Zinn, which is common in U.S. classrooms despite compounded factual errors and rank political indoctrination.

While the U.S. government still considers Communist Party membership a disqualifying factor for U.S. citizenship, elites like Zinn and Glaude are cultivating its perspectives among the native-born. As I’ll show below, they’ve been successful.

“So he’s got that 2 percent on his side, alright, what does he do with the other 98 percent?” Scarborough interjected.

It's particularly galling to see Cuba glorified when a democratic Cuba allied with the U.S. would have been a prosperous economic paradise instead of a poverty-stricken basket case.

It's particularly galling to see Cuba glorified when a democratic Cuba allied with the U.S. would have been a prosperous economic paradise instead of a poverty-stricken basket case.

What happened to Cuba after the Castros took over is similar to what happened to Zimbabwe and other sub-Saharan countries after the white colonizers left.
All the liberals were jumping up and down with glee in both cases. After disaster set in almost immediately in both countries the libs were reluctant to see things as they were.
The hold of socialism/leftism runs deep in many lib circles despite many of them getting rich off capitalist economics.
How can supposedly sane, filthy rich  Hollyweird libs like Spielberg, Nicholson, and some others believe Cuba is a people paradise?
There is a special kind of stupid that applies to those people.
