VDH: On Anti-Americanism and Hypocrisy

Regaining the fighting form I love to see, Victor Davis Hanson capitalizes on the occassion of Pepsi Cola CEO Indra Nooyi's remarks to graduates at Columbia Business School to address the utter hypocrisy of today's strain of anti-Americanism.

Nooyi's shrill and unfortunate comment that

“This analogy of the five fingers as the five major continents leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and, in particular, the United States."

is, of course, something we are seeing with increasing frequency. But it is quite rare for anyone as distinguished as Hanson to show some spine by calling these nitwits to task for their blatant and shameless hypocrisy.

Modern anti-Americanism is not just bombastic, it also seems largely devoid of perspective, unsupported by historical facts and unarmed with intellectual integrity. Most on the Left either share this bankrupt viewpoint or are simply content to just roll over and take it because we "deserve it." No, folks, you've got it backward. Rolling over and taking it is what makes us deserving...
