The man, the legend.

Well done.
Mr. Steyn will always find a standing invitation for dinner at my house. Expect some chit-chat.. :)
Steyn deserves a Pulitzer for that marvelous word alone
Thanks God for this man.
Mark Steyn, please divorce your wife and marry me. I will wait.
(What do you look like, BTW?)
Steyn uses hard words to point up a hard lesson namely that the only way to deal with the islamofascist savages is to fight them. The only other choice is submission. There is no third way.
The man, the legend.
Romulus would be proud. Indeed, Quattrocchi was a man.
BTTT
He looks a lot like al Sadr, actually.
The header at Steyn Online has a rather blurry black-and-white image of him.
As I wrote in part in another post:
"I was in the UK for a spell until recently and this matter was, understandably, all over the papers. And who was getting the blame? Tony Blair. If you think our media is one-sided, you ain’t seen nothing. The headlines blare (pun intended) statements as fact that turn out to be the incoherent utterances of some obscure professor from some place like the Secondary College of Ridley-on-the-Pee who after consuming seventeen pints in the Cock and Bull Pub adjacent to the left border of the campus was heard to mumble something that sounded much like an indictment of the Prime Minister. And, if I could find anything funny in all of this, I would have to laugh at the press who are all over the Tories because they – heaven forfend – supported the war and won’t flip-flop for political advantage. Yes. That’s the criticism of the Conservative Party on Iraq. They’re sticking to their previous position and refuse to pander to what the press wants to hear.
While I assume (and hope) that somewhere in the UK press there was some venom directed at the subhuman pigs (yes I use the word intentionally) who are actually doing these things, I didn't see it..."
Now I know why I didn't see it.

It's time for the Brits, and us, to close ranks and stop bawling.
A little young for me, but very good-looking.

Remember Colonel Mascardo in the Spanish Civil War. Mascardo held the Alcazar for Franco. Republican forces kidnapped Moscardo's 16 year old son, Luis. Luis' captors called Moscardo on the telephone to inform him that unless he surrendered the Alcazar, Luis would be shot. Moscardo asked to speak to his son. He then told Luis, "Commend your soul to God, shout 'Viva Espana' and die like a hero." Luis was immediately shot.
The Sun Newspaper in England will usually run stuff that the other paper won't. They've had some really hard hitting articles about terrorists. You might want to check out their site: http://www.thesun.co.uk/section/0,,2,00.html
Charitably I salute Canada. (Duck, darn you duck). It was Sir Henry Newbolt who composed his poem. He Fell Among Thieves. I do not know how to set it up. It is of an Englishman in a far off clime. He is told he is to die, for the deaths of his kidnappers ....." He laughed:If one may settle the score for five . I am ready....." Later he meets his death with courage. All respects to the dead man of course. Sadly, Hitler would have won if.....
He ought to address this column to John Effin Kerry
