Joy, not contentment. Liberalism, not Leftism. The free and fearless play of the open mind in defiance of the dogmas of the closed. Who ever called for a "system of morality and patriotism"? Did I? Good heavens. I just just cannot conceive that a truly liberal mind could graduate from a place of higher education in this country and not feel a kind of deep almost giddy affection for the freedom this country offers him or her. That is the joy I am talking about. The moral joy of being an American -- left, right or wrong.
