Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss talks to FOX News' Mike Huckabee about the importance of teaching the constitution and American exceptionalism.
"We were responsible for the greatest revolution in the history of civilization. We gave to 98% of the human race freedoms that they have been lashed for, lost fingers for or had their heads chopped off for and we gave it to them for free and we are the most revolutionary nation that has ever been and ever will be and we don't know enough about our constitution or our history to know why we should be proud of it," Dreyfuss said on FOX News' "Huckabee."
"Whenever you hear someone say American exceptionalism [doesn't exist], you should turn to that person and say, 'if you don't prove that statement, I'm going hit you right in the mouth.' Because they don't prove it, and they can't," Dreyfuss said.

Careful, Richard. It’s a felony to threaten the boy wonder apologist in chief.

Some people eventually grow up and come out of the liberal world. Some take longer then others.

As obnoxious as he is, he’s wanted to leave acting and become a teacher for years now. I know this through a friend of mine who is a theater critic in England and has interviewed him over the years.
