Rush Limbaugh is vociferating on the radio (sorry, people, I’m now a driver, so there’s a lot of radio) that Liberals hate the idea of American Exceptionalism. He couldn’t be more wrong. Their Exceptionalism is powerful that it eclipses Rush’s completely. Here is an example:
The NPR is a mouthpiece for the most outdated and extreme Putinoid propaganda that Putin himself has quietly left behind. Ian Welsh is engaging in public fits of pro-Putin hysteria. The Nation is celebrating Putin. They love him to distraction in spite of his decidedly anti-Liberal agenda. Putin’s war on women, gays, ethnic and religious minorities, social assistance programs, dissidents,
the poor and the middle class is of no consequences to these ultra-Liberals. All they care about is that Putin blames the US for all of world’s ills and this feeds their delusions of grandiosity.
This is all there is to it, folks. These NPR Ian Welshes don’t care about anything as long as their diseased and obsessive love for the US is given a voice.
Limbaugh is into American Exceptionalism but at least he’s into other things, too. This breed of Liberals isn’t. They will do or say anything to achieve the short-lived high of feeling that the whole world recognizes their importance.

Way back in the early 90’s someone (probably Chomsky) said that the one place that vulgar Marxism was still thriving was in places like Forbes (with the trivial difference that they were all for the bourgeoisie stomping down the hapless proletariat).
This is the same thing: Uncritical acceptance of the fundamental premise of a failed philosophy while simply reversing the values (so that in their view America is unique and immune to the forces that have shaped the world, but for doing eeeeevil).
The US Putin fan club is a strange and motley assortment that I haven’t fully figured out yet. It would be easy to just say they’re dumb and/or deluded but I can’t get past that.

It doesn’t seem to occur to a certain subset of Americans that other countries (Russia) can be imperialist assholes and play a part in their own suffering as well as the suffering of other nations.
