Some, Not All Americans


Pravda looks at a recent critique of American culture by Susan Jacoby (and mentions internet sock puppet Lee Siegel in passing)...

Personally, I don't think it's really a matter of wingnuts and idiots--ah, but I repeat myself--being any more numerous than before, but it DOES seem as if they've been ever more demanding in pushing their demented world view, while being enabled in no small measure by outlets like wingnut media...and by an opposition that really isn't. It's as if the last fifty years or so have been a never ending apology for...for what? Living up--but only kinda, sorta--to our ideals?
