American Deceptionalism

Americans are drawn to the latest spectacle surrounding Jonathan Gruber -- an MIT professor -- paid almost six million dollars to assist in deceiving the public with regard to the Affordable Care Act.  Gruber recently treated the public to another dose of contrived contrition before a televised Congressional committee.  Gruber is one of many foot soldiers in a larger war against truth waged in the American public sphere.  American Deceptionalism is a profoundly important phenomenon that describes and informs the most important aspects of our current cultural malaise.  We are besieged by an intellectual elite intensely committed to a grand design of American Deceptionalism.  Confronting and defeating this social phenomenon is our surest path forward for the nation.
