I’m a red stater when it comes to God and guns, but I like European art-house movies where Juliette Binoche or Isabelle Huppert take their kit off. I hereby grant Mark Steyn honorary REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE membership. :^)

If you were one of those ‘redneck Christian fundamentalists’ the world’s media are always warning about, you might think the Continent’s in for what looks awfully like the Four Horsemen of the Euro-Apocalypse: Famine — the end of the lavishly funded statist good times; Death — the self-extinction of European races too selfish to breed; War — the decline into bloody civil unrest that these economic and demographic factors will bring; and Conquest — the recolonisation of Europe by Islam. But it goes without saying that Europeans are far too rational and enlightened to believe in such outmoded notions as apocalyptic equestrians. If there is ‘choice on earth’, I’ll bet on Jesusland.
This was too good to read only once.

"The ludicrous over-reaction by the elites to the US election results is at least as superstitious and irrational as anything the Bible Belt believes."
Perfect.

This one is above even Mr. Steyn's usual high standards.

Even if one accepts that the modern Euro-Canadian secular state is the rightful heir to the Enlightenment, it would seem obvious that it’s got a lot less enlightened, at least in the sense of ‘freeing from superstition’. The ludicrous over-reaction by the elites to the US election results is at least as superstitious and irrational as anything the Bible Belt believes.Amen, Brother!

Excellence as usual. My one recommendation, change United States of Canada to Union of Canadian Socialist Republics.
