Dick Cavett is genuinely ashamed of us
And he looks at the reasons for that shame, the anti muslim rage being stirred up around the Park 51 project. It is appalling and repugnant and as with so much of the never rightwing hate, disconnected from reality. Mr Cavett pinpoints one tragic result that may cost us dearly in the future.
Our goal in at least one of our Middle East wars is to rebuild a government in our own image β with democracy for all. Instead, we are rebuilding ourselves in the image of those who detest us. I hate to see my country β and itβs a hell of a good one β endorse what we purport to hate, besmirching what distinguishes us from countries where persecution rules.From Newticles to Sister Sarah to Rush Limbaugh and down to the level of Pam Geller, they are all fighting bin Ladens fight for him.
