The only line I think that matters:
NPR: National Palestinian Radio.
This born-again conservative is more driven by Zionism than American patriotism.
Mamet wrote a long article where NPR takes just one paragraph. It was enough for you to accuse him.
I don't know what he thinks. I don't know what you think. I can read what he wrote and what you wrote. You made an accusation that has no base in this article. I interpret his NPR disillusionment as a logical steppingstone in his "growing up", one of many, and a correct one, btw. You interpreted that as the single most important part of his conversion to conservatism.
I'd like to know what gave you information to conclude that his American patriotism is second to his Zionism. ?
I take exception to his premise that American conservatism and Zionism are interchangeable.
Mamet, himself, references his:
1. economic theory.
2. Some strained comparison of Presidents Bush and Kennedy.
3. Yelling at NPR for their perceived Pro-Palestinian bent.
The first is evidence of a conservative mind, the last two are evidence of a confused mind.
