America doesn't have a tradition of public intellectuals. I really wish we had people like Russel Brand or Stephen Fry in the UK or Bernard Henri-Lévy in France.
>America will never produce intellectual superstars like Richard Dawkins

We've got Sam Harris--he single-handedly solved moral philosophy for good.
>intellectuals
>Bernard Henri-Lévy
I'm not sure if this is ironic or not. Have we transcended irony?

Are you saying these are not public intellectuals with much discourse upon which to expound?
Canada just elected a true intellectual as prime minister. And here our choices are between Trump and Clinton.

Richard Dawkins will debate anybody, anywhere, anytime. He is a master at logic.
Stephen Fry is a modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville. His "Stephen Fry's America" ought to be taught instead of "Democracy in America."

Im a big fan, but he grates sometimes. If you read his autobios he fully admits he has a strong compulsion to try and make everyone love and admire him.

America got conservative radio hosts, and then you still have neocon thinkers.
You're probably talking about Left intellectuals, don't you.

Yes, we have brilliant conservative thinkers like Irish Limbaugh. I wish we had intelligent conservatives like the morality man:/

Dawkins makes atheism sound as dogmatic as anything. He is an embarrassment to Atheism. Darwinism is the weakest possible argument to the the weakest arguments of religion. If you're serious about your atheism stay away from Dawkins and start reading Ruse.

Limbaugh isn't even that bad desu
You don't bring the radio talk show back from the grave by being shit
Most of the memes surrounding him are from the 90s

The guy is a fraud. He urged Sarkozy to intervene against Kaddafi, which further contributed to the instability that allowed ISIS to rise so quickly. He is a meme intellectual, more preoccupied by his image than his "work".
