Can we question their patriotism?
Mickey Kaus observed some self-loathing Americans in the wild recently.
I went to the premiere of my friend Viven Lesnick Weisman's eye-opening documentary, "Man of Two Havanas," and when the narrator got to the part about the Bay of Pigs and the announced (I'm paraphrasing) that it was "the most significant defeat for the American military in history," a non-trivial segment of the audience burst into applause. Nobody hissed back. This is in Los Angeles. I assume it's worse in Pelosi's San Francisco district.
Perfect. Because nothing is as satisfying to the American Left than a defeat.
Especially when a dictatorial Communist regime is responsible for foiling the United States military.
So, to recap, they want the U.S. to lose, cheer when our enemies win.
Can we question the patriotism of those who sit in a darkened movie theater, hooting and hollering at the prospect of a tyrant giving the U.S. a black eye?
If words have any meaning, I think we must.
