Why is the ability to speak a foreign language a disqualification for the Presidency?
Newt Gingrich makes fun of Mitt Romney for being able to speak French. (Very badly, I might add.)
Joe Scarborough and Donald Trump attack Jon Huntsman for being able to speak Mandarin.
You might almost think that ignorance – especially ignorance about the rest of the world – was a Republican virtue.

Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
clearly American exceptionalism is not a liberal virtue.
Does “exceptionalism” mean that Americans are supposed to be exceptionally ignorant?
Ignorance is more of a Republican mandate than a Republican virtue.
Wow! I knew Newt Gingrich was habitually hypocritical, but blasting Mitt Romney for speaking French is incredibly shameless hypocrisy. Gingrich has long told the story of how his interest in politics came from when he visited Verdun at age 15 and reflected on that epic WWI battle. (See for example the PBS Frontline special “The Long March of Newt Gingrich” http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newt/index.html from back in the Gingrich’s prime, namely early 1996.) And this trip to Verdun was not some mere field trip. Gingrich was living in Orleans, France due to the army posting of his adoptive father. Moreover, Newt did his PhD thesis on education policy in the Belgian Congo, and though getting ample tut-tuts from academics throughout the blogosphere for not including any primary sources in any of the native Congolese languages (e.g., Lingala, Swahili, Kikongo, etc.) or Belgian sources in Flemish, Gingrich certainly did cite sources in French.
I’m so tempted to say, J’accuse Newt! J’accuse! But that’d be kinda hackneyed. So I’ll just say you’re a shameless hypocrite, Newt! A shameless hypocrite!
A hypocrite? Newt???
Nah, you must have mistaken him for someone else.
Newt has always been forthright in his denunciations of hypocrisy. Also in his denunciations of denunciations.
I think it’s more jingoism than ignorance (not that these two characteristics are mutually exclusive). For example, I was born in 1976, with the Cold War still far from winding down. My parents, as they later told me, got a fair amount of flak for giving me a Russian first name (I’m named after my father’s Russian grandmother who immigrated in the 1920s). Apparently, to a lot of people, American = English.
At a park a child was 15 feet up a tree when his mother spotted him, grew instantly worried, and screamed for him to climb down. A nearby Republican noted the situation, turned down his Fox News stream, and strolled over to calm the beautiful but hysterical mother. He assured her quite glibly that the boy was feather-light, and even if he fell, he wouldn’t fall as fast as a heavier person and so probably wouldn’t be hurt.
Believe it or not.
Nihilism, hypocrisy, willful ignorance- the defining qualities of what calls itself American ‘conservatism’ these days.
The far-right likes to blather about how the large-scale of dealing with things that are different from you is bad because loyalty to making other people more like you makes society strong. Therefore, hostility to understanding French, either as a Mormon missionary or grad student in history, would be good for them.
Studs Terkel interviewed a man who told of how, when the U.S. entered World War I, a mob of Americans broke into a school and burned all the German language textbooks. They also burned the French textbooks, being unable to tell the difference.
