In fact, he is a walking, talking, breathing example of what a "natural born citizen" is not – complete with the dual loyalties the founders feared.

If I were as prone to sloganizing as Mamet, I’d keep clear of bumper-sticker comparisons altogether.
I wonder what a smart but mislead writer like Mamet thinks about being taken down by an equally smart writer who a) can't be easily dismissed as an idiot and b) can't be dismissed a mere ideological analog? I bet a Mamet response would be predictably bellicose, but surely he'd recognize, at least privately, that he just got his ass kicked in public.

I am the Dark Triad Man and I’m here to mentor.
Earning money is now simple for me. I haven’t commuted to an office for more than half a decade. My formal “office” is in my home. I work 13-15 hour days because I love to. I drive an expensive custom motorcycle (probably too fast). I work out at least once a day, usually twice. My physique matters to me. My wife is singularly gorgeous and my deliberate time with her is a fantastic investment. A remarkably powerful German Shepherd secures my home and property. I have two passports, have lived in three countries and I’ve been a practitioner of classical Japanese koryu battlefield and strategy arts for more than thirty years.
On the surface, there’s a lot to envy. I’m blessed with good looks, a deep brain, and quite a bit of cussedness. But there’s something missing. I’m simply not content to rest here. I am, precisely, restless. That’s because I have a responsibility – and desire – to do one more thing.
It’s called giving back. And the great pleasure of wealth and power is being able to choose how you do that.

LEAWOOD, Kansas — Erica Massman, a moderate Kansas Republican, refers to the building where her daughter attends fourth grade as a public school.
Ms. Massman’s mother, whose politics tilt further to the right, calls it something else: a government school.
“My mother, who is a Tea Party person, started saying ‘government schools’ all the time,” said Ms. Massman, recalling when she first heard the phrase around 2010. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow.’”
Kansas has for years been the stage for a messy school funding fight that has shaken the Legislature and reached the State Supreme Court. Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, and his political allies threatened to defy the court on education spending and slashed income taxes in their effort to make the state a model of conservatism.
Somewhere along the way, the term “government schools” entered the lexicon in place of references to the public school system.
