What does that mean? They attempt to think about or discuss their own country?

No, it means they both seem up their own arses.

So how should a person be to not succumb to that? Are you sure your not just attacking anyone for intellectualism? Give me specifics of how they are, otherwise it's meaningless...

I'm what people would call 'left-wing'; I don't really like being labelled in all that bullocks, however.

I don't agree with much with what Peter Hitchens had to say, but I definitely appreciate the fact that he's interesting to listen to. And yeah, I also prefer his brother as others have said.

It's pretty thin, but if someone will always be insulted for thinking too much of themselves because they want to think or discuss anything, what hope does debate have? Give me example of someone who isn't, because I still suspect this is good old fashioned anti-intellectualism.
