Palast got the best of the RW pundit who was flabergasted at
Greg's blunt statement.

6. Problem Is A Myopic America

The cultural and political blinders in this country have never been so firmly affixed. If anything, for many, being scourned by the rest of the world is some kinda badge of honor. It's an ignorance and arrogance bred in our movies, history books, television and press that has built this internal image of the United States being infallible...all powerful, the most sophisticated, civilized and so on. It's an image that has been perpetuated by a poor educational system that has avoided studies in other cultures and viewing the world from an "Amero-centric" perspective. This has bred a xenophobia that manifests itself in the "anti-illegal" bullshit that is nothing by Mexican race-baiting and lumping in Saddam Hussein with Osama Bin Laden...since all A-rabs are the same, too.

The right wing needs to believe in "superiority" since its basic tenets lack any compassion or intellectual integrity. Its this mindset this regime has feasted off of and uses any opportunity it can to isolate and polarize this country further.

9. I am reminded by the self-centeredness of Imperial China.

We act as if we were the "universal empire" and that everyone else is lower then us and irrelevent.

7. Chavez was speaking to the world, they all agree, Americans have their

egotistcal heads up their ass...who in the world gives a shit what the United States has to say...They allowed Bush as their leader...even when it was obvious Bush stole the presidency twice.

Chavez is just saying the truth and everyone including Americans know its the truth...and we know Americans can't stand the truth.
