Mark Steyn, Raconteur, Columnist, Freedom Fighter, and Cultural Critic Needs Our Help
01.25.16 | Chickensoup

Posted on 01/25/2016 4:44:10 PM PST by Chickensoup

I have followed Mark Steyn for years. I have read his columns, followed his career, bought and read his books and now his recordings.

Steyn has over the years, fought time and time again for freedom of speech, and freedom of thought. I respect him. I find him a highly ethical man in this world of dubious ethics.

I watched him in the legal battles at McLean's magazine.

I read his forward to Geert Wilders Book "Marked for Death" where he said that Wilders could not find anyone who would be associated with the book and would Mark mind writing something. Mark wrote the introduction, saying, this man is putting his life on the line everyday, how could I not?

That is a level of integrity one finds only a few times in a lifetime.

Steyn has written books about Islam and its force around the world, these books have been prescient in their predictions and far ranging in their information. These books have earned him a life that requires courage to live, and continue on. Islamics are known to be full of payback to truth tellers.

I have followed his career at National Review and its ending, again because of first amendment issues, related to Michael Mann and the climate totalitarians.

Steyn is currently being sued by climate leftists for telling the truth about lies the scientist Michael Mann has promulgated.

Steyn is fighting essentially a one-man battle against a better funded (think Al Gore and every other leftist environmentalist dweeb you have known contributing to Mann) group.

Recenly in two columns, one last month and one this month, Steyn has alluded to the fact that the battle against the better funded Mann, is hurting financially. He slipped these statements in at the end of two of his columns. Today he said if for the second time.

Steyn is full of integrity, and I suspect that things are difficult for him, and that he needs as much financial support as can be provided. I do not doubt his need.

I support him and believe that it is my duty to support fellow conservatives who are fighting the good fight, whether it is decorating wedding cakes in good conscience, facing up to Islam like Pam Geller, or fighting environmental totalitarian lies.

I have committed to buying a book or cd each month to help the cause of Steyn. I will also send him some cash.

Men like Steyn are rare birds and need our support.

I hope I can get some amens here, Freepers.

Mark should get his own radio show. He beats most of them by leaps and bounds.

I suggest that some start a fund on a crowdfunding website...it worked beautifully for a Christian-owned restaurant sued by gays.

I imagine he can only get his own radio show if someone sponsors him and if he can find stations with the courage to run someone like him on a daily basis.

Where is that sort of courage?

Crowdfunding might work, but if you are being sued it is better to get money for daily life and bills and legal fees.

Amen from me! The money I have been spending on political campaigns will now go to Mark.

Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting issue about Trump in today’s column. I suspect this was inadvertent. While attacking National Review, Steyn got tarred too.

I look forward to him subbing for Rush and I've actually seen him in person once.Isn't the suit you're speaking of taking place in Canada...under Canadian law of course? Along with Shania Twain and Dan Ackroyd I'm most grateful to Canada for sending him our way.I've pinged a couple of Canadian Freepers to see what,if anything,they might want to contribute.

Lord Monckton beat the lying bass turds. With a little help, Mark will too. But these villainous bastards will not stop their lies flowing, regardless. Perhaps the saddest aspect of all the hoopla in AGW oligarchy seeking to control the world by faux crisis is that the real pollutions are being quietly ignored while the oceans are polluted and our ground waters poisoned and out soils contaminated. For that the oligarchy needs killin’
