Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Here's a revelatory comment in an interview between George Looney and Newsweek:

Newsweek: You spend a great deal of time traveling internationally. Does being an expat give you a different perspective on U.S. foreign policy?

Looney: [Growing up,] I was taught to look at the United States not from the inside out but from the outside in. The signs you see are very disheartening. It is probably the worst time ever for us internationally. When you go to Europe, for the most part, they just hate us. Not individually, but they think we are just like these big bullies—and quite honestly, we have acted like that. That has been the most unusual twist in the last few years, having to defend being an American.

Hm, perhaps this explains your consistent liberal, anti-American stance on almost every subject you're vocal about? Could there be a correlation here?

As for European hate, maybe they don't hate Americans in general. Maybe they just hate you, George. I doubt you achieve much in curtailing their hate. See, defending "being an American" isn't your strong suit.
