Every now and then, I feel a modest twinge of regret over my decision to remove National Review Online from the right sidebar. Today, Peter Kirsanow provides the impetus:
If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen because you’ve been a little lazy over the last couple of decades and you’ve lost your ambition, your imagination and your willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge, causing you to become bitter and cling to guns and religion and antipathy toward people who aren’t like you, and to act stupidly, just like a typical white person or our troops who are just air-raiding villages and killing civilians. Frankly, that’s why I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism, and that’s why it’s necessary for me to fundamentally transform America and spread the wealth around — just as soon as I get more flexibility in a second term.
Absolutely brilliant. It's a pity the site, and the parent magazine, should be so cowardly and mealy-mouthed about other worthy persons and organizations.
