BS BULLETIN:

Judge Judy Sheindlin said America rewarded entrepreneurship and excellence while arguing that people who fundamentally dislike the country should “go somewhere else.”
Sunny Hostin responded Friday on “The View” by focusing on Sheindlin’s emphasis on individual achievement, asking, “What is success if everyone else isn’t successful?”
Hostin argued that racism, classism, food insecurity and education problems make individual success an incomplete measure of how America is doing.

Judge Judy spent decades listening to people explain why somebody else was responsible for their problems.

So perhaps nobody should be surprised that Judith Sheindlin remains rather fond of personal responsibility.

The 83-year-old television judge recently told USA Today that America has been good to her and remains, in her view, “the greatest country in the world.”

“If you don’t like this country, go somewhere else,” Sheindlin said.

But there was considerably more to her argument than that sound bite.

Multimillionaire TV personality Sunny Hostin lashes out Judge Judy for telling ungrateful leftist who hate America to leave.
Hostin condemns the individual success of Americans because it doesn’t benefit “the collective”:

Sheindlin defended a distinctly individualistic vision of America — capitalism, entrepreneurship, excellence and allowing talented people to excel. She also pushed back against the notion that equality requires everyone to produce equal outcomes, while acknowledging that there are things about the country people can legitimately want to improve.

That brought a very different reaction Friday from Sunny Hostin.

The “View” co-host zeroed in on Sheindlin’s repeated references to her own home, career and success.

“I heard a lot about ‘me,’” Hostin said, before arguing there wasn’t enough discussion of “the collective.”

“What is success if everyone else isn’t successful?”

Hostin continued by pointing to racism, classism, people struggling to afford food and families unable to adequately educate their children. She also criticized cuts involving the Department of Education.

So what began as Judge Judy’s defense of the country became something considerably more interesting than another daytime-TV argument.

It’s an old American argument over what success itself means.
