I don't disagree. He has a (D) after his name after all.
The west has a deep seated crusader syndrome. You are always righteous and spread noble civilization. In your minds. In reality you are nothing more than imperialist barbarians. The Chinese view of Europeans was actually correct. And the British proved it with their dope pusher "Opium" wars. History and current events prove that true evil lives in the west.
Nah, I'm not righteous, I'm the crusader guy that knows I'm looking for gold, is comfortable with knowing that I'm looking for gold, and happy to pursue it with the utmost, unfettered zeal of the most radical fundamentalists on the planet. If called and ordered.. of course.
I never stopped being a barbarian and feel no need to disguise it in self serving drivel. There's chests to be filled, and gold in Moscow that needs to be in NY. Heck, I had my first shooting lessons before I could write my own name; loved the opener of "Conan" where Conan is introduced to the sword while the sword is heavier than he is. Introduced to it as a riddle of the use of force to protect or destroy; a tool of unnatural craft, made by humans to destroy humans in order to save humans.
But I would take issue with the notion of "nothing more than"; which implies that there is some greater existence meant for humans; when in reality, that which is not kin to the barbarian, is less than the barbarian!
In the name of High Lord Koch and Soros!!! TO MOSCOW!! RAWRRRRR!
O, and Cartman wanted me to remind you: we bring burgers.
