Steyn ping!

[knews_hound]

I bow before the awesome wordsmithing that is Mark Steyn.

Cheers,

knews hound

[marron]

I admire this guy.

[kaktuskid]

When are we gonna MOAB those damn Teletubbies?

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

and try to imagine living in a Smurf enclave in a province that wants to introduce Sharia.

Osmurfa bin Laden?

Mullah Smurfar?

LOL.

[don'tbedenied]

This guy is a frigging genius. Taking the Smurf video and making some major points on the value of fighting Islamists.

[alarm rider]

I fully support Smurf strafing. I also want a Barney J-Dam action. I haven't formed an opinion on the TeleTubbies, but I am open to opinions from those that know them best.

The UN is useless.

Mark is brilliant.

[July 4th]

And they pray to Gargamallah.

[i_dont_chat]

The telebubies is a brain-washing program for children, promoting Big Brother and mind control, don't you know!

[Billthedrill]

Compared to being force-fed Grandfather Smurf's genitals, having his village strafed in some clinical air strike is about the least worst option for Baby Smurf.

I think I can safely claim that that particular combination of nouns and verbs has never before been placed together in the English language.

In Iraq the U.S. approach has resulted in an elective government that nominally (jury's still out) respects human rights. Darfur and Rwanda, where the high-minded moralistic UN approach has held sway, are graveyards. The only ones who fail to notice this at this late date are those with their eyes firmly shut.

[Tax-chick]

Zowie!

[SuzyQue]

I thought we needed some better photos of Steyn. 

 

 

[HitmanLV]

I'm really a mark for retro-usage of the word 'blue!' ;-)

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thank you!

Cleverly Mr. Steyn has laid bare the propaganda of the UN. This Smurf movie for simple minded leftists who would, no doubt, believe that if only Saddam or OBL - even Hitler - had been shown this flick as children they would never have murdered, raped, tortured or authorized planes be used as weapons against their fellow creatures.

Perhaps the UN will next have the cast of Sesame Street debate beheading vs. bombing as ways to die in times of war.

Again thank you.

[Vision Thing]

Do what you will with the smurfs, teletubbies, and others. However, no one touches Sponge Bob Square Pants!

[Fred Nerks]

Blockbuster Mark Steyn, Dead Smurfs, Much Carnage, Children and Minorities, Unicef to the rescue; don't miss it.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Even if we were part of Saddam's own approved class living in the Smurfi Triangle, it's still a life permanently fixed between terror and resignation, in which all a parent's hopes for his children are subordinate to the whims of a psycho state.

Exactly.

EXACTLY.

So well said. Bravo, Steyn!

[Klickitat]

Excellent. BTTT

[Texas WOP]

He is absolutely the most engaging commentators on earth. And he's one of US!
