For decades liberals have trafficked in identity politics. Why is it so hard for them to understand that some people “identify” above all as Americans, and that “God damn America” is a slur against who they are?
It’s an American thing, they wouldn’t understand. (Link)
Yep, usually the most obvious explanation is true.
Also from the same Best of the Web bit:
It also points to a curiosity in the whole practice of political endorsements. If we’re supposed to care that Bill Richardson endorsed Obama, why shouldn’t we also care that Shaaban Abdel Rahim did?
I care.
