R. Lee Ermey and the hazards of hero worship
Hero worship feeds our secret hope that “somebody” will come along to finally shift that giant ugly sofa that is “Obama’s socialism” or “creeping sharia” or “political correctness,” while we get to hover around, make encouraging noises, and “supervise.”
What is it about progressive journalists inventing imaginary poor black people?
