The New York Times: America Sucks

But when it ventured into a larger discussion of evil, the moral confusion and contempt for America that characterize leftism were on display.
The article contains a breathtaking paragraph that exemplifies both qualities. After noting that atrocities against groups of people are often the result of the dehumanization of the victimized group, the writer gives four such examples:
The Hutus in Rwanda called the Tutsis cockroaches, the Nazis depicted the Jews as rats. Japanese invaders referred to their Chinese victims during the Nanjing massacre as chancorro, or subhuman. American soldiers fought barbarian Huns in World War I and godless gooks in Vietnam.
This paragraph is noteworthy for its use of false moral equivalence to justify its anti-Americanism.

Lumping Americas actions in those two wars with the other three examples is typical of the lefts defamation of America and of its facile use of false moral equivalence.
But that is how a generation of Americans who have attended college including most likely the Times author herself have been taught to think. And that is what is taught to your child today at the lefts seminaries, our universities:
Nazis, Hutu murderers, Japanese rapists, Americans at war: All pretty much the same.
