William F. Buckley, Founder of National Review, and Gore Vidal his opposite on Crossfire, the old public TV program may have provided some insight into this kerfuffle decades ago. http://gawker.com/370733/gore-vidal-does-happy-little-jig-upon-william-f-buckleys-grave

Veracity is like good carbon steel. Easily corroded if not carefully maintained, but it can be honed to a razor edge.

I would do that by criticizing your manners, not by “indefinitely suspend[ing]” you, which would not be my decision anyway.

Meaning: I would fire you this minute if I had the power.

And Mr. Sheorts's reply is to content that it's just plain wrong to say anything that homosexuals don't want you to say.

Good gravy, where do these dinglebobs come from, anyway?

I love his way with words.

National Review is made up of squishy, soft men of late in the editorial realm. Well, the last time I noticed, but that was at least eight years ago.

Steyn is Awesome....I, for one, would never deign to pee in his Wheaties. They did and he is awesome. Writing like that makes me think he has some Shakespeare in his blood. Hope he hosts Rush until the Rushbo comes off his vacation with Odumbo.

There he goes again, stamping his foot while insisting plain-speaking just cannot be tolerated when it comes to the Pink Mafia, thereby missing Steyn’s entire point.

You don’t see many folks calling out their editors by name as puerile supporters, likely to melt away in the crunch, these days.

Steyn saw enough of the ham=handed tactics of the left in Canada when he was sued for ‘hate speech’ to last a lifetime.

Steyn is masterful in his use of language and logic. I wonder if he'll be suspended from National Review.

Classic, scintillating Steyn. I think I’m going to print this out and past it in my journal.

I’d like Phil to sit down and share the Gospel with them. And if they reject the message, for Phil to fall on his knees and cry out to God them to be delivered, while wearing sackcloth and ashes. In fact, I would show up with him wearing sackcloth and ashes. And i would bring my guitar and sing praise song to the Lord in the background.

I didn’t read the comment, but I’m glad Steyn punched back twice as hard. Everybody hates that Steorts guy, I don’t know what he’s even doing at that publication. I haven’t read one thing by him that was even vaguely conservative.

People complain about Mike Potemra (I think I spelled that right, also the other guy’s name) but he’s much better. And he actually posts on the weekend, but not this weekend.

In stellar fashion, Steyn not only skinned Steorts, his editor, but filleted him as well.

Steorts views on gay marriage:

“Against the traditionalist’s “comprehensive union,” the revisionist understands marriage as what I will call “maximal experiential union.” This is two persons’ sharing each other’s lives — conceived not as the facts about their bodies plus the facts about their minds, but rather as the facts about their experienced unity of the two — as comprehensively and deeply as possible. It satisfies in the strongest way the desire to escape the condition of facing life alone. It necessarily involves, and is consummated by, sexual intimacy...”

Nothing quite like having NRO promote “maximal experiential unions”!

Is he talking about anal sex or what?
