The Left went into its usual hysterics yesterday after President Trump spoke in Poland and didn’t apologize for America being the exceptional country that it is. We know, they got used to Obama running around the world telling everyone that every ill was America’s fault, but that nonsense is over.
Take poor Peter here, he is clearly distraught over Trump talking about ‘the West’:
In Poland today, Trump did everything but cite Pepe the Frog https://t.co/R81YeGyyu6 pic.twitter.com/U2R0AkefCQ

Talk about eye-roll city … the West is a racial and religious term? Huh?
Thank goodness for Charles C.W. Cooke and this stellar takedown of Beinart’s ridiculous narrative:
Noted. One can’t talk about—or praise—“the West” anymore without being a racist. https://t.co/D8Gno4UN6M

Loving America is totally racist … or something. And praising the West is clearly a big no no.
It is objectively better than everywhere else in the world, and people all over the world know that, which is why they move to it. (2)

You don’t see a lot of people risking their lives to sneak into Iraq, just sayin’.
And that’s not because it’s “white,” or any of the other straw men Beinart erects. It’s because it holds to certain core values. (3)

Shhh … values are oppressive.
Once upon a time, people who called themselves “liberals” comprehended and loved those values. Now, they think doing so is imperialism. (4)

And to answer Beinart’s charges. India is a democracy but it’s not a liberal democracy. That matters enormously. Japan, too, has a . . . (5)

Facts matter? Get outta here.
. . . different culture, even as it incorporates much of the capitalist system. Acknowledging that is not “problematic,” it’s sensible. (6)

Are we really this craven, this gutless, this self-abasing, that self-acknowledgement and descriptive terms are rendered pernicious? (7)

Trump finally makes a full-throated defense of NATO—is that code for “white people” too?—and this is the response? We’ve lost our minds. (8)
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) July 7, 2017
No no, WE haven’t lost our minds … not yet.
Liberals lost their minds years ago.
@CounterMoonbat @PeterBeinart Regressive Left ignorance/insanity knows no bounds.
