We can pull the wings off the bug for you. If all else fails, we'll buy him a first-class ticket to, say, Tripoli so he can get a bit appreciation on what living here, and the people who make it possible, means.

Then, he can find some way to buy a ticket back home -- while he's on the no-fly list [to start -- some of my best friends work for CIS]
Nah -- air-drop him into Taliban country, with some canned hams for rations. I'll bet that Bastiat will find a rapt audience for his ideas.

There is nothing to do with freedom in anything that you do, except to provide it for a privileged caste, at the expense of everyone else. I would ask myself just what kind of person, living off the public largesse, would posture in such manner but the fact is that I already know and do not need to ask.
