He is?  He doesn't seem that way to me.  But I disagree with his mid-20th century liberalism.

He was a great skeptic of American exceptionalism, and ran against the tide of the last half of the 20th century.

Just listened to another program, a recent Jeff Rogan.  Had a good joke ...

An American dies and goes to Heaven.  He asks G-d if he can get an answer to one question.  G-d says, OK, what is your question?
They dead guy says ... Who killed JFK?  G-d replies, it was Oswald alone with a rifle.  The dead guy replies, I didn't realize the conspiracy went this high!
