The Anti-American Exceptionalism of the Left

[Jack Hays]

She never said "policy" nor "US".

Pure straw.

Eva Longoria Is

She said the US is the only country that promotes monolingualism. Wrong about us. Wrong about others.

You still can't get the quote correct.

Chalk up another one for the "historian".

 

[Jack Hays]

She was also on Desperate Housewives....does that make her an expert on TV series production?

The stupidity of your threads is so thick.

You're not at your best when you're frustrated.

For the left, facts never get in the way of good propaganda.

Anti-American Exceptionalism | National Review Online

The actress and Democratic activist Eva Longoria, who apparently has never heard of France, was ruthlessly mocked this week for her claim that the United States “is the only country that promotes monolingualism.” Both of the assumptions behind that statement are false: The United States does not promote monolingualism, and some other countries, and would-be countries such as Quebec, do. Ms. Longoria is a native of Corpus Christi, Texas, where state standards at the time of her high-school education general . . . .

The left dislikes this country and wants to weaken the USA to be remade in its authoritarian manner.
They "love" this nation like an abusive husband who beats his wife to show he "cares". :doh

A while back I started a poll, asking if people believed in American exceptionalism
http://www.debatepolitics.com/polls/195459-do-you-believe-american-exceptionalism.html
As you can see, twice as many self-described leftist Americans (66 percent of those American leftists polled) do not believe the US is exceptional in that DP poll. In contrast, only 24% of self-described right leaning Americans dont see the US as exceptional.
In comparison, the left clearly believes the US is nothing special.

There is a correct and incorrect answer to this.

Are we the "only country that promotes monolingualism"?

If you say that we are
a. you're an idiot (we dont)
b. you're an idiot (other countries do)

If you say we are NOT, what she said then we all agree, just she is an idiot.

Is this your best, Jack?

TV actresses being showcased as leading Democratic thinkers?

We call that a straw argument.

It's not my role to improve the quality of Dem spokespersons.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

The quote is correct.

No, it is not Jack, and if you had bothered to look at the original source, which "historians" usually do, you would find you got it wrong.

But then, your hubris doesn't allow such concessions on fact.

But it is your role, nearly always, to create straw argument....just as you did here.

Clint was fabulous.

His campaign people weren't so sure...

More from behind-the-scenes of the 2012 Republican National Convention. This time, it's a glimpse into how a senior Romney advisor felt during the now famous Clint Eastwood speech:
That’s when Eastwood famously spoke to an empty chair, in which the actor went well over his alloted time and left most of the audience baffled. Romney’s senior strategist, Stuart Stevens, was backstage with Romney watching Eastwood, and while the Republican nominee “seemed to think it was funny — at least at first,” the authors write, Stevens was so upset by the “disaster occurring on stage” that he “excused himself, went into another room and vomited.”

They knew just how damaging Clint's silliness was to Willard.

The left must hide behind the pop culture to conceal its lack of substance. She probably has no education.

Doesn't matter to me. I liked it.

Did she say "as official policy"? ....no you inferred that incorrectly..

I don't read "policy" or "US", ie, you got it wrong multiple times......and....the whole argument is a straw(wo)man.


I'm still waiting for your turkey trot touchdown dance.....lets see it Jackie!

The policy context of her accusation is clear.

"But America is the only country that promotes monolingualism. Here it’s English, English, English. Every other country makes their children learn a second language very early on."

Well it is "America's Game" (trademark of the NFL, you stinking communist liberal!)

Off topic whining in defeat.

Not a dodge at all Jack . The root of this thread is that when she said "America promotes" you took it to mean "US policy states".

That is the heart of the matter here, not a deflection.

The policy context of her charge is clear. If there were any doubt, the sentence following her charge removes it. That was helpfully provided by GMST. Please see #92.
