Steyn: "Right now cowboy Bush is leaving Sudan to the metrosexuals and what have they got to show for their projection of soft power? Tens of thousands of corpses that no amount of cologne will hide the smell of."
Man, that's harsh--and funny.

Yes, they think we're too soft and decadent to defend our way of life and 3,000 dead Americans are just a momentary diversion from the pursuit of a life of ease and comfort. I mean we can't even agree on the values that bind us as a country. If we can't defeat the enemy at home, there's scant chance we'll defeat the enemy menacing us from abroad.

Had President Kerry been in office on 9/11, Ive no doubt there would have been far more UN resolutions, and joint declarations, and beaming faces announcing great progress at Nato summits, and G8, and EU and Apec. But Saddam would still be in power, and so would the Taleban, and no doubt in the latter case, under an agreement brokered by Kerry special envoy Jimmy Carter, Washington would be bankrolling the regime in return for pledges to phase out the terrorist training camps. Voters need to think about this.

"Girly-men" = effete snobs
An accurate description of both "Johns" and Europeans in general.

I dont pretend to know all the ins and outs of this phrase, but it seems safe to say that one sure sign you are a girlie man is that when youre called one, you whine humourlessly about it. lol....yup.

If TEAM Bush doesn't find a way to win 50% of the female vote, we'll go down just like we did twice with the toon.

As I wrote back in 2001, the Islamists have made a bet that were too soft and decadent to see this through to the finish. This November, one way or another, theyll get their answer.
Thanks Pokey. As usual Steyn nails it - these idiots who want to take a break from the war are dangerous. I'll be praying every Sunday from now through November 2nd that we win this election. We cannot afford a jackass like Kerry and the 'progressives' he would place in State and Defense in a time of war.

Superb. Clever and deeply insightful. Our damned celebrity culture that promotes this garbage is going to destroy us.

what defines metrosexuals isnt that theyre gay or straight but that theyre in love with themselves: its a cult of narcissism. And so is geopolitical metrosexuality. You look great, you feel great, but you do nothing. Damn is that spot on.

Europes 60,000-troop Rapid Reaction Force will soon be ready to deploy around the world ... BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Good Godamighty, I could write half-a-dozen humor columns around this one screamer. Sure it will be, as long as the Brits are willing to carry the EU's water for it. I'm not entirely certain they'll be willing to put up with doing the dying while the lordly M. Chirac tells them what they're doing wrong.
What is frightening is that for the most part Osama bin Laden's strategic assessment of Europe's willingness to respond was, point by point, absolutely correct. The EU should be careful what it asks for - the only thing scarier than the world with the United States running amok is the world without it.

"Sloth favours the Islamists. Readers may recall that I wanted Bush to invade Iraq before the first anniversary of 9/11. If he had done, hed have saved himself a whole lot of trouble, and we might even be rid of the mullahs or Boy Assad by now. The President has to be a terminator: he has to terminate regimes and structures that support Islamist terrorism. And, if every bigshot associated with the cause winds up like Uday and Qusay, the ideology will become a lot less fashionable. All these girlie-man options sound so reasonable, but theyre a fools evasion, an excuse to put off indefinitely the fights that have to be fought in Iran, North Korea and elsewhere.
Girlie men are men without chests in the C.S. Lewis sense, rather than the Schwarzenegger one. I didnt come up with this choice, nor did Arnold. The enemy did. As I wrote back in 2001, the Islamists have made a bet that were too soft and decadent to see this through to the finish. This November, one way or another, theyll get their answer."
Leave it to Steyn.
This is it, guys. This is the choice. This summarizes the differences in the approaches that will be offered and the results each will achieve. I wish there was a way to write this across the sky for the whole country to see before they choose this November.
I only wish I was confident that the right choice would be made.

Another excellent Steyn article. This man is a genius.

...the most murderous Islamists seem to be those whove enjoyed the alleged blessings of a Westernised education. This is a profound point, and goes against the grain of leftists. They believe that human sin and failings can be solved with more education. It is a humanist dream. Human beings are evil because they are evil, and no amount of education will change it.
