Re: Cultural suicide

TB — 6/15/2010 4:08:03 AM (archived)

I was fully expecting "I have no idea what you're talking about." I wasn't disappointed.

The idea that there is a culture in this country that blames America first for everything, has taken the side of our adversaries and enemies in every conflict since I was old enough to pay attention, views patriotism as some kind of pathology, and thinks the first natural response of any intelligent American should be shame and apology to the world...is simply my paranoid imagination.

There are no such people infesting our universities, no such people in our entertainment industry, no such people in journalism, and no such people in politics. And I'm sure nobody else on this board has ever seen any sign of such things.

And of course there is no objective reason to think the United States is any better in any objective sense than any other country in the world.
