Madeline Albright "America not Exceptional"

What is it with aging lefties that they have to outwardly express their hatred for the United States? Latest episode comes from this lovely lady, Madeline Halfbright. Speaking to a group in Russia at a forum titled the "Non Economic Aspects of Entrepreneurship," (re-read that forum title - this is in Russia, I think that type of thing has been outlawed over here!). Halbright uttered the following bits of wisdom:

Madeleine Albright said during the meeting that America no longer had the intention of being the first nation of the world.

Ms. Albright started her speech in Russian. “Hello and thank you! It’s a pleasure for me to be here,” she said in Russian. Albright wrote in her autobiography that she was trying to learn some Russian during the 1960s.

The former US Secretary of State surprised the audience with her speech. She particularly said that democracy was not the perfect system. “It can be contradictory, corrupt and may have security problems,” Albright said.

America has been having hard times recently, Albright said.

“We have been talking about our exceptionalism during the recent eight years. Now, an average American wants to stay at home – they do not need any overseas adventures. We do not need new enemies,” Albright said adding that Beijing, London and Delhi became a serious competition for Washington and New York.

“My generation has made many mistakes. We give the future into the hands of the young. Your prime goal is to overcome the gap between the poor and the rich,’ the former head of the US foreign political department said.

Wow...truth hurts, but lets clarify. Change "America" to "Democrats" in the first paragraph and she is telling the truth. I am sure she believes that democracy is not the perfect system - she is a statist and believes that if her and her ilk are running things in an autocracy, THAT would be perfect. As far as new enemies goes, her type are doing a great job of creating new enemies. Just look at the list since Obama took office: Israel, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Honduras, Japan...it's impressive! Finally, stop with the solipsist pap, Madeline - EVERY generation makes mistakes, our generation has been plagued with self-centered, self-righteous fools like you. The mistake has been letting your type get anywhere near the center of power.

By the way, this little piece of fun was in Pravda.
