Wake up, Europe. It may already be too late.
MacLeans Magazine ^ | April 05, 2006 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 04/05/2006 12:17:50 PM PDT by finnigan2

've had a recurring experience in the last few months. I'll be reading some geopolitical tract like Sands Of Empire: Missionary Zeal, American Foreign Policy, and the Hazards Of Global Ambition by Robert W. Merry, and two-thirds of the way in I'll stumble across: "With the onset of the Iraq War and European opposition, many Americans embraced a severe anti-European attitude. 'To the list of polities destined to slip down the Eurinal of history,' wrote Mark Steyn in the Jewish World Review, 'we must add the European Union and France's Fifth Republic.' "

Steyn again shows how to turn a column ostensibly about book reviews into a perceptive political tract.

I refuse to believe that.If the United States could give Carter the boot and reject socialism, Europe can too. Europe needs a Reagan. It's just a question of whether the people of Europe will get tired of the tar pit they're in before they drown in it.

And, if even Murray's too much, go back to the granddaddy of them all -- Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Recounting the Muslim march on France 1,300 years ago, Gibbon writes:

"The decline of the French monarchy invited the attack of these insatiate fanatics. The descendants of Clovis had lost the inheritance of his martial and ferocious spirit; and their misfortune or demerit has affixed the epithet of lazy to the last kings of the Merovingian race. They ascended the throne without power, and sunk into the grave without a name. . . . The vineyards of Gascony and the city of Bordeaux were possessed by the sovereign of Damascus and Samarcand; and the south of France, from the mouth of the Garonne to that of the Rhone, assumed the manners and religion of Arabia."

Hmm.

Having been to Europe most Europeans will either leave or quietly hope the Muslims will have Mercy. The average European male has been so feminised that the few child-bearing European women will gravitate to the more agressive muslim even if they trat them like beast.All the best European males were killed off in WW2

Macleans is becoming a fine magazine.

Thank God! It was an unreadable Canadian Liberal Establishment rag before the new ownership and fresh direction.

Hopefully, they'll give Western Standard a real competitor on the right!

All I know is that if Europe calls, we'd be foolish to ignore their pleas for help. One because I really enjoy watching the US kick Muslim ass; and two because what befalls Europe will eventually befall the US.

Yeah, but even after feminism neutered American males in the seventies, we still managed to revive ourselves. And if European women want aggressive manly men, then I suppose that those very European women the best ones to make this happen. Supply and demand will take over.

'course, that's assuming that European men have not been feminized all the way to the point of rampant bisexuality...

I 'm sorry but Canada will easily be intimidated by their muslim population when it really grows unless they get their manhood back!

I'm not sure I understand your attack on the newbie. His post says exactly what Richard Miniter said in his latest book, "Disinformation". Our Canadian border is a much bigger Muslim threat than our Southern border (which is certainly a threat of a different kind.)

Hey, hey, come on now. Newbie != troll. We were all newbies once. Some of us were even n00bs. This dude apparently hasn't been watching Canadian politics very closely lately. Correct his misconceptions, don't beat him over the head with them. Honey versus vinegar and all that.
