American reader worried about the future of America

A READER WRITES: “Dear Mr. Barrington: I read your article. Every word ( http://brianbarrington.blogspot.com/2009/02/review-of-mark-steyns-america-alone.html ) . The inescapable conclusion is that you are a colossus of ignorance of such monumental proportion as to strain credulity. How does a name-calling idiot like you ever get published? I suppose that's what we have to look forward to for at least another four years because Americans voted for another idiot that thinks America has 57 states and the Speaker of the House thinks "500 million Americans get put out of work every month". The entire Administration is dumber than a bag of rocks, and more venal than illegal drug lords. Why then, should I expect any better from a fool like you? How sad that your admirers respond positively to knee jerk stupidity like yours. How sad you are. Thanks for confirming me in my opinion of leftist jackasses like you. Sincerely, Oodeluph”

BB SAYS: Sorry to hear that you are worried about the future of America. Change can be upsetting, confusing and unsettling for all of us. It can take time to adjust. It can be hard. But I believe that the US is a great nation and that it will survive the threats posed by the current Democratic administration. America has survived other Democratic administrations, including Franklin Roosevelt’s, and he was a communist, as we all know.

I am confident about the future of America for a very simple reason: there are people like you there – people who are ever-alert to the threats to freedom posed by Democrats, liberals, the media, bureaucrats in Washington, the State Department, the elite universities, people who live in US coastal states, Darwinists, feminists, perverts, socialists, the United Nations, Amnesty International, Muslims, Chinese, Russians, Latin Americans (especially Mexicans) and Europeans. By my calculations, over 85% of human beings are a threat to freedom – and that includes a large majority of Americans. So freedom is in peril. There can be no doubt about that. But as long as there are people like you around, people who know what’s going on and who are prepared to take a stand, then there is hope.

Above all the threat to freedom comes from Europeans. Especially the Irish – they pose a much under-rated threat to freedom in my opinion. Did you know that it was the Irish who invented the terrorist warfare that now constitutes the largest threat to freedom in our time? It was the Irish who invented the cowardly guerrilla warfare that precipitated the collapse of the British Empire, which was at the time the greatest force for freedom in the world. Now the British Empire is gone, and the torch of freedom has been passed to Americans like you. I have faith that you will prevail.
