Ben Stein writes on the Fight to Save America:
I wonder just how much today’s leaders of this great country realize the exceptionalism of this nation. In the Marxist history departments of today’s universities, they don’t teach that we are exceptional. We are just another racist, money-grubbing country. We are just war mongers and exploiters like everyone else, say these people with their tenure and their hybrid cars.
Nonsense, say I. There is only one America where a man like Barack Obama, out of nowhere, with no family background of connections or power, could come to be president.
There is no other country that takes in the wretched of the earth and in two generations — in one generation — raises them to the ranks of the mighty. If America is murdered by the Muslim terrorists and the environmentalist dictators and the atheists who want to take God out of our lives, there is no other place for freedom to have its citadel. There will be just unending darkness across the earth.
I hope Mr. Obama knows this. I hope Nancy Pelosi knows this. I hope you know this. We are in a fight now to save America, and winning this fight is more important than political correctness or trying to forecast the weather a hundred years from now. We are in a fight to save the America that has given so many of us lives we could not have imagined. We simply cannot lose.
I truly hope the right winged Christian fundamentalists never have any seat of power in the US, ever.
I agree. How do atheists get lumped in with Muslim terrorists and environmentalist dictators?
When I look around the world I see a lot of problems caused by these self-same God botherers.
America, the only place where a man like Ben Stein can come to become a respected intellectual, despite having been a lawyer for NIXON.
I really have no love lost for Mr. Stein, because he represents the problem. That is, he is a close minded man, with a single side to the argument. He refuses to engage in a true argument (only soap box rants) and uses his pseudo-legitimacy to make it seem like a strong position, supported by the majority of people.
Mr. Stein shouldn’t throw stones, because his claims to fame are being a Nixon Lawyer and a Hollywood made man.
