I concede Hitchens's central thesis—that a woman of Michele's caliber has no business at the helm of a vast intercontinental war machine. Every few years, the awesome weapon he and his Beltway pals control is ceremonially offered up to the Dairy Queen patronizing rabble. Reeling from soaring unemployment, a spiraling economy, and a runaway budget deficit, American's just can't stomach any more freedom fries. They know we're not going to be "greeted as liberators," that the foreigners will vote in another tyrant shortly after we gift them freedom and democracy, and that it will cost us much more blood and treasure than David Frum, Christopher Hitchens, and the rest of the non-American "patriots" predict.
Hitchens, an atheist Jew who's not even from America and is far more at home in "a small but growing post-Trotskyite Luxemburgist sect" than a small town, supposedly knows what we need in a president. "We need candidates who know about laboratories, drones, trade cycles, and polychrome conurbations both here and overseas." In essence, what we supposedly need is a candidate who's versed in military R&D, loaded up with globalist “free-market” sound bites, and at home in the cosmopolitan bazaars which are alien and hostile to the authentic American people and our ideals.
He might need those candidates, but we sure as hell don't. Hitchens's federal government is a theocratic empire with a religious doctrine of Esoteric Churchillism on a transcendent crusade to impose globalism, free trade, and "democracy" on the rest of the world. The fact that it was originally created by and for a specific people, the White American people, is an archaic irrelevancy to him, sort of like how the Nokia phone company started out as a paper mill. Its ceremonial accountability to those people is an irritating distraction from the serious business of world domination.
The irony here is that Christopher Hitchens fancies himself to be a champion of democratic self-rule for voiceless nations under hostile and unaccountable regimes, yet he's convinced that our own federal government is too big and important to be entrusted to the people it purports to represent. If this regime is simply too big and important to answer to us, perhaps we should reconsider answering to it. Perhaps we mouth-breathing hillbilly retards who are unfit for participation in this government should answer to a smaller and less important government, leaving his polychrome conurbations and their cosmopolitan elites to carry on their crusade without our unwelcome participation.
I'll be joining Hitchens in enjoying the fireworks and festivities this evening. I'll also be joining him in dreaming about regime change, nation-building, and overthrowing tyrants. Though since I'm born and bred in small-town, small-minded America, I'll be plotting regime change here at home.
