More symptoms of insanity on the American right

[fpb]

In yesterday's American Thinker, a man with the Italian name of Bonelli wrote the following, extremely offensive statement:

The United States is different from most other countries in many ways. One unique aspect of our country is that our elected officials, officers of the court, and the military, all pledge their allegiance to the Constitution and not to an office, individual or party. This assures continuity of the ideals set forth by the founders.

As an Italian citizen, I have personally sworn to defend the Constitution of my country when I served in the Italian army. The presumption involved in this ignorant display of insular arrogance is an insult to every constitutional government in the world.

The shortage of entry-level jobs in Italy has nothing to do with the state, let alone the national health service. If anything, young Italians have the advantage over young Americans in that prospective employers don't have to tax themselves to offer health plans. The Italian jobs market is tight for a number of reasons, but you have managed to home in on the one that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
