John Kerry: “I Get a Little Uptight” When I Hear About How Exceptional We Are

John Kerry made a name for himself by attacking the military and the United States.

So it should come as no surprise that Kerry is still bashing America.

The Secretary of State recently told a crowd, “I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional we are.”

The State Department reported, via Weekly Standard:

"I was privileged to speak to the graduating class of Yale this year, and it was particularly a pleasure because it happened to turn out to be, literally, I hate to say it, 48 years to the day that I was privileged to speak as a graduating senior to my own class. And I talked to them about sort of the world we’re in right now, but at the end I tried to remind them all, which I remind you of, we are – I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional we are – not because we’re not exceptional, but because it’s kind of in-your-face and a lot of other people are exceptional, a lot of other places do exceptional things."

I guess he does. He's based his entire career on the idea that America sucks.

Well, he can relax, because we are quickly going downhill in “exceptionalism”, and I don't think people are saying much about it for the past 5-6 years.

“Uptight.”

I don’t think I’ve heard a hippie use that word since about 1969.

Clearly of the Post American World mindset, as opposed to Skousan’s 5000 Year Leap.

There is nothing for him to get uptight about. He should recognize that he is not included in claims of exceptionalism.

I hope he is haunted every night by nightmares of that unarmed teenage boy he shot in the back as he was running away in Viet Nam.

He gets upset because he must recognize that neither he nor his boss are in any way exceptional. They are not even average. They are on the lowest rung of the exceptional ladder.

I think Genghis Khan used to say that too.

There was a story in one of the Boston papers, years ago, about how Dana Delany (in her China Beach days) pretty much threw herself at him. He took her back to his batchelor pad where he proceeded to ... force her watch the fake action-hero movies he made of himself in ‘nam.

Yeah, if there’s a better symptom of brain damage, I don’t know what it is.

His response to the many crises now ongoing— to go sailboarding. This guy is a penultimate ASS. A gigolo moron of the left. Stupid beyond comprehension.

John Kerry is unexceptional and he has no business speaking for the rest of us.

“John Kerry: “I Get a Little Uptight” When I Hear About How Exceptional We Are”

Then obviously he should speak for himself -an incompetent, petulant, low-life, spoiled, snobbish traitor.
