The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, did Americans a favor last week. He provided that which is most indispensable to understanding anything: clarity.

In one sentence, the governor revealed the left's true view of America.
This is rare -- because leftists are masters at hiding what they really believe.
For example, the left's low regard for nonwhites is well-hidden under a mountain of "anti-racist" rhetoric. But people who consistently advocate lowering standards for blacks obviously do not think highly of blacks, and people who believe in separate black dorms and separate black graduation ceremonies obviously believe in a pillar of racism: racial segregation.
Another generally denied -- if not hidden -- left-wing belief is contempt for America. On a daily basis, the left describes America as xenophobic, misogynistic, imperialist, greedy and homophobic. And that's on a slow day at The New York Times, MSNBC or your local university. Just last week, a New York Times column added "barbaric" to the left's view of America.
But for some reason, the average American does not see all this as proof of the left's contempt for America.
So, we have to rely on the occasional unguarded and unambiguous statement to know what the left really thinks.
