Steyn’s unique ability can be found by word 7 of this piece. Everyone else calls the happenings in Blacksburg, VA this week a “tragedy”, just like they did on 9/11. He calls it what it is, a “massacre”.
Excellent observation. Calling things by their true name, is the source of clarity (and power)in Steyn’s writing.
The power of conservative ideas can only be found in calling a spade a spade. The wishy washy deceptive talk of liberals cannot stand up to that confrontation...(i.e:Ronald Reagan)
