Chom(p) on this

In the spirit of fairness, I recently watched Noam Chomsky on LINK (Dish 9410), another satellite channel which caters to thought that is far outside the mainstream. He finally said something with which I can agree. He defined the "international community" as the United States and those who agree with her. That's as it should be.

Unfortunately, he mistakenly characterized it as a bad thing. On the contrary, soon after the War of 1812, the U.S. found itself the most powerful nation in the world. With power came riches, which, after a period of gluttony, we began to share with other countries, so much so that they became dependent upon us. They still are, and their people have cheerfully adopted our culture -- our dress, our TV and movies, our music. Some have even attempted to emulate our form of government, that one which we must reinstate after the defeat of the liberalism that now infects us.

When nations recognize our greatness, that's a good thing. When Chomsky acquiesces, that will be a miracle.
