So if you have been watching Fox News lately you probably heard the new buzzword.....Anti-Colonialism. Not only that, but being anti-colonialist is evil, Un-American and plain wrong. Seriously???
Do "they" at Fox really believe this? Do "they" on talk radio seriously believe this? Is being anti- colonial like being a communist, or terrorist, or anti- American? Glenn Beck thinks so and so does the right wing radio guys, and Newt Gingwich.
Do they understand the "evil" the colonists imposed on those they conquered? Do "they" know world history? The British Empire's atrocities in Egypt, in India? The French in Algeria, in Vietnam...The Spanish in the Philippines......But let me digress. Mr. Beck, Dinesh D'Souza, Newt Gingwich, Rush, are all railing against Obama for this. Is this really un-American? Need I remind you that Gandhi was anti-colonialist, that Martin Luther King Jr was anti-colonialist (his speech -- "Beyond Vietnam" speech, 1967), and the founding fathers were anti-colonialist.
Remember when America was a colony under that grand old British Empire? Yes, by nature, America is an anti-colonist country, and if you do not believe that then you know nothing about American history. The founding fathers fought against colonialism for our freedom. Explain what "you guys" mean and stop spreading this "anti-colonialism is evil" nonsense. Read the history of true colonialism. I hope the students at Kings College challenge their school president about of this. These peoples version of anti-colonialism is all wrong. Read!
That's it, good night, I'm tired......
