I’m sorry, people, I’m grading final exams like crazy here, and I need to vent. The course is over today, so bear with me.
“The national identity of the US is that of the President. Every citizen identifies with the President and adopts his worldview.”
“Basing your actions on the US Constitution is the only way to live an enjoyable life.”
“All Latin America and Spain have got to do to make the world a better place is get over their petty differences and unite.”
“The Black Death plagued many Europeans.”
“This resulted in a killing of Jews but for no reason whatsoever. Throughout history, Jews have never been killed for a good reason.”
“Spain was experiencing the Golden Age of Spain where Protestantism had occurred.”
“The US has only managed to become so prosperous through manipulation and dishonesty.”
“Latin America wants to become more progressive and more civilized in society.”
“All American’s are proud of our country’s independence.”
“Latin America was viewed as backwards by many external nations.”
“More often than not, Latin American reality seems ever so hopeless.”
“The Great Mosque of Cordoba was built by the Visigoths. They didn’t contribute much to the Spanish civilization except the word “guerra” and this beautiful mosque.”
“Franco promoted intolerance, racism, fascism, and Semitism.”
And my absolute favorite: “The identity of the US is that we are a country that is pro-choice (meaning, we respect the rights of women.)”
