Wow.
Steyn only hits to Right!
Careful ... they just arrested the BTK killer, and it turns out he was a family man, a churchman, a law enforcement officer and a Cub Scout leader.
Why not just say that Steyn is a damned fine pundit?
Steyn...and some guy named Pramit Pal Choudhiri with the Hindustani Times
Still, the notion seems to have escaped American's MSM. Even today...
After watching him on C-SPAN last Friday, I'd say that he's more than that. He's a damned find man. I'd be proud to have him as a friend.
Yep, and ours is a damned fine president. If you want to get it done, get a cowboy to do it.
Once again, I'd advise caution. We have no way of knowing what strange people are like in their private lives. There are plenty of folks around here, for example, who go to bed and dream of how wonderful it would be to have Ann Coulter or Anna Kournikova in their lives, without knowing a thing about them, other than the image that's presented in the media. And I guess that's fine, as long as they don't get too carried away. Depending on their personality and strength of character, such misconceptions can lead to trouble.
Who, after GWB would you put on the list of 36 Honourable Men?
Thought provoking, isn't it?
This is an article to uplift the spirit in the inimitable Steyn style. He's great all the time, but when the message he delivers is about the miracle happening in the Mideast, it's more than a treasure.
As for the Bush Doctrine: not bad for a iggorant, unilateralist cowboy.
Bless you (for the whole article and for posting another brilliant Steyn in the first place)!! Thanks for the ping, Pokey. This was terrific!
Still snorting over the "Hosni vs. Hosno Name Recognition" line.
Please add me to the Mark Steyn ping list.
And just what evidence can you produce that would qualify Mark Steyn as one of your "strange people"??????
I've lived for three score and thirteen years, and I am confident in my judgement of the character of most individuals. You had better have much better credentials before I would mistrust my judgement and accept yours.
I'd put on the list anyone whose honor I could confirm on the basis of his actions. Maybe I'm being unfair to you as regards Mr. Steyn. Do you have any specific knowledge about the man, apart from your admiration of his work?
Maybe so.
It was always obvious to me. Make an example of one of these dictators and the whole mood of the neighborhood will change.
A lot of people didn't want that, so they played dumb...."why are we going after THIS guy, why NOW".
Why did we respond to Pearl Harbor by sending troops to North Africa? It's called seeing the bigger picture.
Blue to the Bone also had a lot of good things to say. He was flaming a lot of his fellow DU'ers.
Yeah, but what did he know and when did he know it?/sarcasm
No, nothing specific, I have been reading Steyn for at least two and a half years, and never did he waiver in his opinions, he sells out to no one, curries no favours, never bends the knee.
Such attributes make Steyn IMO a very extraordinary human being.
That was probably a stealth FReeper.
Dick Cheney and Tommy Franks are two good ones to start with.
A few more additions to your list.
California
New York
Oregon
Washington
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Illinois
Michigan
