Maybe you can explain why mispronouncing somebody’s name and being proud of it is patriotic.

Like religion, traditional family and workplace values, patriotism just isn't cool and hip among the counterculture losers.
It has been that way since the snot-nose baby boomers came of age in the mid 1960’s.

In case you were wondering, Finland has a mostly private, magnet school program with very few illiterate illegal aliens.

Just 2 years ago we were told it was patriotic to call Bush “Bushitler”. I Loathe the Pravda Media.
To: melwFN
It’s not patriotism that’s the problem here. It’s stupidity and ignorance

Newsweek bashes USA just like

Actually Susan Jacoby is a religion hater first and foremost. Hating America is a close second.

These globalist and transnationalist types, like this Newsweek idiot, have neglected to tell anyone that becuase of globalization, which they trumpet as a triumph, has inherently produced NATIONALISM/Patriotism.....
I would suggest these idiot crybabies deal with it.
This particular Newsweek idiot should be fortunate he has the luxury to write his whining tidbits in ink.....

NBC’s Today Show’s Olympic coverage is slanted toward the American viewer. I guess they assume Americans want a recap of our performances first thing in the morning.

My comment was cut off for some reason.
...stupidity and ignorance. Worship of both seems to have spread over the last 50 years accross the whole western world.
We now have stuff like this plastered all over our public places:

This is the age of Oboma where anti-Americanism is the height of Patriotism.
Its also curious that NBC, owned by GE, is the network most in the bag for this admin.

So what? CBC coverage was all about Canadians, except when it was about Lindsey Vonn.

If the author is so disgusted, then he/she/it (didn't look, don't care) should feel perfectly free to emigrate to a better place.

I am very good friends with a Finn who has only been to the U.S. for one week of his whole life. In normal English conversation, you would not know that he isn’t American. The only time he has an accent is when he uses a multi-syllable word that he rarely uses.
He was taught English in school from ages 9-18, but learned how to speak from watching American movies! It’s quite impressive.
To: massgopguy
They can’t pronounce corpsman either...........
