Much of the West is far too comfortable with state regulation of speech and expression, which puts freedom itself at risk.

We are at a major turning point in our history of our freedoms. Hussein must be kept out of the White House.

Ultimately, our crisis is not about Islam...It’s about us. And by us I mean the culture that shaped the modern world, and established the global networks, legal systems, and trading relationships on which the planet depends... To reprise Sir Edward Grey, the lamps are going out all over the world, and an awful lot of the map will look an awful lot darker by the time many Americans realize the scale of this struggle.

Bears repeating and engraving in one's memory. This is very frightening. If Obama gets in, we're going to take a quantum leap in this direction.

If we just follow the Constitution, no preferences will be given to Islam or any other religion. People have freedom of speech, to say what they thin, and there is separation of church and state.

However, the Constitution is being assaulted constantly by prominent politicians, judges, and even by the Supreme Court itself. About the latter, a good book to read is “The Dirty Dozen” which is about Supreme Court decisions which undermine the Constitution.

Canada is a funny place.

35 million people, about 20% of whom recently arrived from the Third World.

And they claim to own and control the land mass to the north or us.

Which is hilarious, considering that they number less than the current population of California.

100 years ago there would have been no thought of a U.S. invasion or takeover, because the English Crown would have retaliated.

But that won't happen now. Those people won't even stop the invasion of their own lands.

We should dump the Canadian government as an illegitimate, terrorist friendly gpvernment, and help the Western Canadians regain control of their land and lives, principally by cutting off control from Ottawa and then expelling the aliens who now constitute a protected Fifth column in their midst.

As for the East Canadians, let them fight it out with the French. May the best gang win.

While Mark Steyn is genetically incapable of writing a bad piece, this has to be one of the best I've read.

STEYN BUMP

The idea that the West’s multicultural establishment can hold the line would be more plausible if it was clear they had any idea where the line is, or even gave any indication of believing in one.

This is not just a liberal problem, it is a Western problem. The "Big Tent" Republicans want to think you can hold a culture together without unalienable norms of right and wrong, often referred to as morality.

If we can't say, "That's wrong," without fearing the destruction of some hypothetical wall of separation, we're lost. Ultimately, the notions of right and wrong become based on societal choices, and those choices are informed by those who control the media and education. It's only a matter of time before the elite run the country and, eventually, ruin it.

Bravo, Mark Steyn. . .and if anyone was thinking they might like to read America Alone; it is still not too late - as it could soon well be.

But of course, reading is not enough; - we, someone. . .'we' - have got to start shaking the tree here; albeit, it does all seem almost a futile exercise, given what we are witnessing with the Barrack Hussein Obama 'rising'; and the very act of criticizing him; questioning his 'Muslim roots' or anyuthing about him for that matter; if only his name. . . Add to that the success of Islam's protector'pit bulls' as Mark gives name to (CAIR; radical Imams et al of Liberal protectors) and yes, the tide of Muslims we are about to face. It ALL feels more than grim. . .

(And speaking of 'tides'; Radical, Muslim Keith Ellison rode the wave with a host of other Demrats as they took the majority in Congress, last Election. Thank you Minnesota! How DO we start the war against PC; against Liberalism; and the 'Left'; and against radical Islam. . .what can WE do?

Our culture; our Liberal Education system; our Liberal Judicial system; our Leftest MSM is setting the parameters here; and PC mindset already firmly embedded.

What will happen should Pelosi rule. . .and/or if Obama wins; and those who are 'free thinking' become oxygen starved as a consequence?

If we send home illegal 'felon' Mexicans; can we not send 'honor killers' home. . .like just move them out of here and immediately? Instead, we read the same pap in our newspapers that Mark warns us about.

We hear the 'roar' for Change; and the change is really, a swtich to darkness; to ignorance; and too many light already out - because we put them out.

Perhaps our 'call to consciousness' should be 'For truths sake, America; KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON!' Or 'for Democracy's sake. . .(Good grief; we have soldiers giving there lives, for what we are allowing to be extinguished here at home; while they fight.)

Anyone have ANY ideas here?
