Read the whole story, including quotes, if your mind has good resistance to elitist codswallop.

The real plague of our time isn’t the Chinky fly. It’s malignant narcissism.

“freedom-obsessed to the point that we’re”

If this person thinks that cherishing freedoms is an unhealthy obsession, there is no “we” that he is part of. America is more than just a location on a map, or a people found within an arbitrary set of borders.

“”” And I think the most important thing that could come out of this is realizing the government is not the biggest threat to our liberty.“”””

What else is a threat to our liberties? This idiot doesn’t understand what defines liberty.

Foreigners do not get Americans at all.

If they simply read our founding documents they would get a clue.

What is going to be our relationship to government???

Government is like insurance: You don’t want to pay for any more than you just gotta have. - RatRipper

Yes, it’s about freedom. The success of the United States as the world’s oldest republic was not based on socialism or totalitarianism.

Nothing new.

If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. -- President Bill Clinton, August 12, 1993

The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people –- Bill Clinton during an interview on MTV in 1993

We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans…that we forget about reality. -- President Bill Clinton, quoted in USA Today, March 11, 1993, Page 2A, ``NRA change: `Omnipotent to powerful’’’ by Debbie Howlett

“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly… that they would work for the common good, as well as for the individual welfare… However, now there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” – Bill Clinton, April 19, 1995

A little insight into a 'rat brain.

Clearly, he does not qualify as an American, Since the founding of the colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals who find their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties accompanying these personal freedoms. Their ethnicity, gender, class, and race would always be secondary expressions of humanity.

Before the Revolution the colonists were not Americans. The charters they operated on from Britain demanded slavery and the one New England colony that tried to abolish it had the law nullified by the British. Between the Revolution and the Constitutional Convention, six of thirteen colonies abolished slavery.

The greatest danger James Madison saw for our new republic was from a tyranny of the majority trampling the liberties of the few.

Without our natural rights recognized by Second Amendment the rest of our freedoms are just a veil of vapors and the Constitution is just meaningless words on parchment.

The entire point of the Second Amendment is to instill in our public servants a healthy respect (if not downright fear) of their sovereign masters (i.e., We the People). The Second Amendment does not grant, but merely recognizes our natural right to arm ourselves with state-of-the-art weaponry to a level that the fools in the feral government should fear for their lives such that they never be tempted to overstep their limited and temporary powers.

“...even though we’re a country founded on slavery, genocide...”


Yep, slavery and genocide, that’s us. Face it, we’re the worst nation on the planet. Perhaps there’s a Pulitzer Prize in Giridharadas’s future. Spit.

Buy this fer-in-er a one way ticket out of the country is my nice suggestion ... otherwise, the spot between the 5th and sixth rib is an excellent choice!

So that we may know who is being talked about; [Picture 2010]

From Wikipedia; "Giridharadas was raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Maryland, and Paris, France,by his Brahmin parents, Radhashyam and Nandini (née Lall) Giridharadas.His childhood visits to extended family members in India sparked an interest in that country that influenced his later writing.He studied politics and history at the University of Michigan.
After graduating from college, Giridharadas moved to Mumbai in 2003 as a consultant for the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, where he followed the path of his father, who was a director at McKinsey. In 2005, he became a journalist, covering India for the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times. In 2009, after returning to the United States, he began to write the "Currents" column for those newspapers. He also writes longer magazine pieces. As of 2010, Giridharadas was a doctoral candidate at Harvard University.He is a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute, an MSNBC commentator, and a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University.

The virus dies as the temperature increases.
Therefore, we should pump moar CO2 into the atmosphere, to raise global temperatures and kill off the virus.

He may have been born here but needs to be reminded that one of the great things that a Free Republic such as these United States have is the option for him to leave whenever he wants, hopefully permanently.

He can pass the throngs trying to get in.
