Andrew, ever since I ran into a spot of bother in Canada, Ive found myself giving speeches in defense of freedom of expression in Toronto, London, Copenhagen, etc. I did not think it would be necessary quite so soon to take the same stand in the land of the First Amendment against craven squishes of the political class willing to trade core liberties for a quiet life. I have no expectations of Harry Reid or the New York Times, but I have nothing but total contempt for the wretched buffoon Graham.
A mob of deranged ululating blood-lusting head-hackers slaughter Norwegian female aid-workers and Nepalese guards and were the ones with the problem?
I agree with the Instaprof: Lindsey Graham is unfit for office. The good news is theres no need for the excitable lads of Mazar e-Sharif to chop his head off because hes already walking around with nothing up there. And, as for his halfwitted analogy with World War II, hes too ignorant to realize it but hes singing the dhimmi remake of an ancient Noel Coward satire.
The reason were losing this thing is because of a lack of cultural confidence, of which the fetal cringe of this worthless husk out-parodies anything Coward could have concocted. When Im speaking on this subject, I often get asked to reprise the words I quote in my book, from Gen. Sir Charles Napier in India explaining to the locals his position on suttee the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Napier was impeccably multicultural:
You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
In the absence of cultural confidence overseas, we are expending blood and treasure building an Afghanistan fit only for pederasts, tribal heroin cartels, and the blood-soaked savages of Mazar e-Sharif. In the absence of cultural confidence at home, we are sending the message that the bedrock principles of free, pluralist societies will bend and crumble in a vain race to keep up with the ever touchier sensitivities of the perpetually aggrieved. Claire Berlinski has it right: The real racists here are not this no-name pastor and his minimal flock but Reid, Graham, and the Times for they assume that a significant proportion of Muslims are not responsible human beings but animals no more capable of rational behavior than the tiger who mauled Siegfrieds Roy. If that is true, certain consequences follow therefrom. The abandonment of the First Amendment is not one of them.
In Trafalgar Square, there is a statue of General Napier. I would urge any visitors to London to see it before its taken down, as it surely will be one day soon. Imagine what our world would look like if it were Lindsey Graham up on that plinth. A society led by such men cannot survive, and does not deserve to.
Again, Steyn gets it right.
Yes good take, Graham makes me sick. He is like a neutered she-man.
South Carolina Republicans, PLEASE primary this embarrassment in 2014. Start vetting candidates NOW. I don’t care a whit about Graham’s personal life. I care about his negative impact on conservative political influence. He is the David Frum of the Senate, always being “bipartisan” when it means saying, doing or voting something liberal.
Ouch!!!! Get some Mark!
Wow, I wonder what he really thinks of Lindsey Graham :0)
lol. Steyn was being nice. heh
A. Lindsay Lohan has had sex with a woman.
FREAKIN’ GREAT!
Graham is the personification of what is wrong with the Republican Party.
Anyone who is palatable to the media/Ministry of Information and the Democrat Party MUST be purged if this nation has any hope.
Lindsey Graham is a greased pig hoping for some big daddy to come along and make him squeal.
Sadly for Lindsey, the squeals of pleasure he’s hoping for will turn to horror when his big daddy turns out to be a muslim conqueror because he was too chicken shit to stand up to real violence instead of the idiotic behavior of a small time pastor.
Lindsay Lohan doesn't wear panties?
Here’s the words to the reference song:
Don’t Let’s Be Beastly To The Germans lyrics by Noel Coward
We must be kind
And with an open mind
We must endeavour to find
A way-
To let the Germans know that when the war is over
They are not the ones who’ll have to pay.
We must be sweet-
And tactful and discreet
And when they’ve suffered defeat
We mustn’t let
Them feel upset
Or ever get
The feeling that we’re cross with them or hate them,
Our future policy must be to reinstate them.
Don’t let’s be beastly to the Germans
When our victory is ultimately won,
It was just those nasty Nazis who persuaded them to fight
And their Beethoven and Bach are really far worse than their bite
Let’s be meek to them-
And turn the other cheek to them
And try to bring out their latent sense of fun.
Let’s give them full air parity-
And treat the rats with charity,
But don’t let’s be beastly to the Hun.
We must be just-
And win their love and trust
And in additon we must
Be wise
And ask the conquered lands to join our hands to aid them.
That would be a wonderful surprise.
For many years-
They’ve been in floods of tears
Because the poor little dears
Have been so wronged and only longed
To cheat the world,
Deplete the world
And beat
The world to blazes.
This is the moment when we ought to sing their praises.
Don’t let’s be beastly to the Germans
When we’ve definately got them on the run-
Let us treat them very kindly as we would a valued friend
We might send them out some Bishops as a form of lease and lend,
Let’s be sweet to them-
And day by day repeat to them
That ‘sterilization’ simply isn’t done.
Let’s help the dirty swine again-
To occupy the Rhine again,
But don’t let’s be beastly to the Hun.
Don’t let’s be beastly to the Germans
When the age of peace and plenty has begun.
We must send them steel and oil and coal and everything they need
For their peaceable intentions can be always guaranteed.
Let’s employ with them a sort of ‘strength through joy’ with them,
They’re better than us at honest manly fun.
Let’s let them feel they’re swell again and bomb us all to hell again,
But don’t let’s be beastly to the Hun.
Don’t let’s be beastly to the Germans
For you can’t deprive a ganster of his gun
Though they’ve been a little naughty to the Czechs and Poles and Dutch
But I don’t suppose those countries really minded very much
Let’s be free with them and share the B.B.C. with them.
We mustn’t prevent them basking in the sun.
Let’s soften their defeat again-and build their bloody fleet again,
But don’t let’s be beastly to the Hun.
Why oh why did S.C. not get rid of this sorry pathetic excuse of human feces when they had the chance?
