Pure Gold..(no pun intended)
Man, Steyn can sure make his points razor sharp. Fabulous writer and thinker.
Brilliant.
John Adam's was right, ours is a system that takes a moral and religious people for it to work, the system is fine, the people are broke, I am seeing it daily on FR...
great article.. I believe in strict deconstructionism and strict adherence to the constitution. time and time again we elect republicans, and we get just slightly less government than the other side. it mattered little.
I’m frankly sick and tired of giving republicans yet another chance.. I’m thinking about giving Trump, who shows up for speeches with no notes, a chance.
and 4 years down the line, I’m certain I won’t agree with 1/2 of what he’s done... but if he does these 2 things I’ll be a pretty happy camper:
1. destroy bad guys and ISIS
2. close the border and make it national policy that we send back people who snuck in... hard to do, for sure, but at least if its the policy, it will slow down the river flowing into our country. Language, Borders, Culture.
Great Steyn commentary on a really good Limbaugh monologue. Yay nationalism!
“He’s the most desired candidate out there,” said another bundler, Brian Ballard, who sat on the national finance committees for Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008. “Everybody that I know is excited about it.”
There’s the problem with the GOPe in a nutshell. They’re out of touch with their own voters, because not a single ordinary Republican voter I’ve had any dealings with was ever excited about Jeb Bush. Which means guys like this GOPe tool don’t know ANY ordinary Republican voters.
The money paragraph...(reformatted)
“So a philosophical commitment to free trade means less to them than the degeneration of mill and factory towns into wastelands of fast-food service jobs and heroin addiction.
An abstract respect for religious pluralism means less to them than reducing the number of crazies running around whose last words before opening fire are “Allahu akbar!”
A theoretical belief in private-sector health care means less to them than not getting stiffed by crappy five-figure health “insurance” that can be yanked out from under you at any moment under Byzantine rules and regulations that change 30 times a day.
And bipartisan myth-making about “a nation of immigrants” means a whole lot less than another decade of Press One For English, flatlined wages, sanctuary cities and remorseless cultural transformation...”
