Another representative email:
Dear Mr. Goldberg,
I’ve been meaning to drop you letter for quite some time, though my
commitments to my twins (I’m a stay-at-home-dad) have prevented me
from doing so, but a few of your latest writings have compelled me to
take a quick moment and write you.
You wrote: “When his delicate constitution permits…”
I simply sit here and shake my head in amazement, half-amused,
half-terrified. I can’t belive that I actually have to take the time
to hold you up as an example to my children of how ignorant and
morally corrupt (yes, I know that you think you are morally
superior…which initself is simply a reinforcement of your ignorance)
people can be in this world.
Last month, my wife and I came within an inch of immigrating out of
the U.S. Yes, the country of my birth, the home that I love dearly, I
was ready to give in to the pain of watching it being destroyed by the
likes of you. A few things stopped us from going but, by far the
biggest reason is that we chose to stay and teach our children what
this country really stands for and how to properly fight back against
the prevailing power of ignorance which you represent. We sit here,
bemused by you and your circle-jerk of Corner pals while still
recognizing the danger that you represent to our true freedoms and
liberties.
With all due respect, you really are a cowardly child aren’t you?
Well, a cowardly child with a slightly larger vocabulary. Power in
youth can be a very powerful thing, but power in ignorant youth is
very, very dangerous. I do pray that you wake up someday as I did 15
years ago.
Sincerely,
[Name withheld]
Me: My problem, according to this guy, is that I think I’m superior? Paging Mr. Kettle. I do hope he teaches his kids how to make an argument with — you know — facts and stuff in it.
By the way, I can’t tell, but I think this guy might be confused about the phrase “delicate constitution.” I thought it was pretty clear, I was talking about Greenwald’s physical composure because he was acting like he had a case of the vapors. Anyway, I could be wrong on that.
