The first several paragraphs consists of the interviewing spewing his opinion of America as if it were fact. VERY annoying.

Clearly, they were not as bright as me and my friends were
Many people on Free Republic are bright than the interviewer and his editor.

It is interesting.
I have witnessed some of what Codrea speaks.
I think he undervalues the role of the Mediacracy, and overvalues the role of the government.
Still, much useful input for thought.
He also disparages President Trump without any considerations of the limits of President Trump’s power, early in his Presidency.

Good interview but I think Codevilla underestimates the degree of treachery present in the Russia hoax from the very beginning. He seems to think it started small with limited aims and then kind of got out of hand. I think it was big and deep from the beginning and I think the upcoming investigations are going to show this very clearly.

Right on the Money here:
“What an ungenerous way to describe my noble instinct to help the less fortunate. Do the less fortunate truly have nothing to be aggrieved about, here in America?
Whatever they have to be aggrieved about, that grievance serves your instrumental purpose. Their grievance is your happiness. If they didn’t have a grievance, you’d try to manufacture it. Their having a grievance is an occasion for you to, to sharpen it, to scratch it, and to make it more relevant to them than it otherwise would be.”

a country who has created an enemy within will never be able to prevail against any enemy without .....
What we have here at home will embroil the country for 2 generations-as we all have tried to pretend the sociocommunists among us the last 2 generations are merely “playing house”
they even taunt us all with Senator McCarthy’s “Russian paranoia” -and so far appear to be prevailing
