Cedarford: One more thing. My husband retired from the Foreign Service after thirty years of government service. Most of that time was spent in Africa and in some pretty awful places. He retired as a very senior officer and was given a lovely ceremony where he made a speech. First he thanked the people he had worked with over the years, then his family. Finally, he thanked the many foreign nationals he met. He said they kept his faith going becuase of they ‘believed in our Constitution more than we did’. A man who has served in many of our wars, including Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan, had tears in his eyes as he said this. People want freedom, they want it more than TV or movies or cars. What’s more important here is that we have set the standard for freedom. When that light starts shining IT MUST BE given the opportunity and support to spread. Maybe you have taken your freedom for granted and assume it will always be like this. Maybe you would enjoy the position of elitist in a Marxist regime – you seem to relish the role of psuedo-intellectual liberal who loves to lecture. But what have you actually done? Lived overseas? Served our country? What, traveled a bit in Europe and Asia so now you are an internationlist? What crap, you’re just another over-educated idiot who thinks ideas trump facts.
