I wonder if most folks have the historical knowledge to understand many of Mr Steyn’s references? I doubt it.

But in America an oblivious political class, led by a president who characterizes young motherhood as a “punishment,” prefers to offer solutions to problems that don’t exist rather than the ones that are all too real. I think this is what they call handing out condoms on the Titanic.

"A universal birth-control mandate is a curious priority for a dying republic"

...unless of course one wants to speed up the process.

“If 100 geezers run up a bazillion dollars’ worth of debt, is it likely that 42 youngsters will ever be able to pay it off?”

Does anyone doubt that a fifth column is at work in the United States?

Are the American people really this stupid?

I love the way this guy writes.
Serious, funny, clear, emphatic, smart . . .
The list could go on.

"As the European debt crisis staggers on, these two countries loathe each other ever more nakedly:

"The Greek president brings up his war record against the German bullies, and Athenian commentators warn of the new Fourth Reich."

So the Greeks are going to take on the German bullies at a Plains of Marathon re-stage?

The 21st-century Greeks are up to it?

Maybe this Fourth Reich bit is more a prophesy than a warning.

Maybe the Greeks could get in boats and stick their tongues out at the Germans.

"The Germans, for their part, would rather cut the Greeks loose."

Maybe. No doubt there are some Germans who have...another idea.

And folks wonder why traditional, Christian morality has anything to do with fiscal solvency. How much clearer can the relationship be?

[ Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, distills the current hysteria thus: “It’s as if we passed a law requiring mosques to sell bacon and then, when people objected, responded by saying ‘What’s wrong with bacon? You’re trying to ban bacon!!!!’” ]

This sums it up perfectly!

"The notion that an all-powerful government would distract from its looming bankruptcy by introducing a universal contraceptive mandate would strike most novelists as almost too pat in its symbolism. It’s like something out of Brave New World. Except that it’s cowardly, and, like so much else about the sexual revolution, very old and wrinkled."

I hate what the left has done to us all.
