Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh think of themselves as the consummate Americans.  So do members of Americans For Prosperity.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  They all cheered when the U.S. lost the 2016 Olympic bid on Friday  (I won’t even dignify Beck’s and Limbaugh’s pathetic declaration of joy with relevant links from this site – it’s shameful and degrading). 

Would they have cheered against their country for losing an Olympic bid when Bush was President?  None of them obviously realize the bid was placed by the U.S. government when Bush was in office.  Anyone who would have cheered for such an outcome back then would have been labeled a traitor, a subversive, a Communist, Un-American. 

They may wrap themselves in the American flag while they spin this whole agenda of “Wishing failure on Obama” as isolated and differentiated from wishing failure on the United States.

That dog just won’t hunt.
