Steyn has over the years, fought time and time again for freedom of speech, and freedom of thought. I respect him. I find him a highly ethical man in this world of dubious ethics.
I watched him in the legal battles at McLean's magazine.
I read his forward to Geert Wilders Book "Marked for Death" where he said that Wilders could not find anyone who would be associated with the book and would Mark mind writing something. Mark wrote the introduction, saying, this man is putting his life on the line everyday, how could I not?
That is a level of integrity one finds only a few times in a lifetime.
Steyn has written books about Islam and its force around the world, these books have been prescient in their predictions and far ranging in their information. These books have earned him a life that requires courage to live, and continue on. Islamics are known to be full of payback to truth tellers.
I have followed his career at National Review and its ending, again because of first amendment issues, related to Michael Mann and the climate totalitarians.
Steyn is currently being sued by climate leftists for telling the truth about lies the scientist Michael Mann has promulgated.
Steyn is fighting essentially a one-man battle against a better funded (think Al Gore and every other leftist environmentalist dweeb you have known contributing to Mann) group.
Recenly in two columns, one last month and one this month, Steyn has alluded to the fact that the battle against the better funded Mann, is hurting financially. He slipped these statements in at the end of two of his columns. Today he said if for the second time.
Steyn is full of integrity, and I suspect that things are difficult for him, and that he needs as much financial support as can be provided. I do not doubt his need.
I support him and believe that it is my duty to support fellow conservatives who are fighting the good fight, whether it is decorating wedding cakes in good conscience, facing up to Islam like Pam Geller, or fighting environmental totalitarian lies.
I have committed to buying a book or cd each month to help the cause of Steyn. I will also send him some cash.
Men like Steyn are rare birds and need our support.
I hope I can get some amens here, Freepers.
Thank you for the heads up,,, we need to support our people on the front lines taking the slings and arrows. A crowdfund would be more efficient!
Thanks for the heads-up, CS. Yes, Mark Steyn is a treasure!! One of the smartest (and snarkiest) pundits around, and brave as they come. I’ve ordered a couple of his books and gift certificates before. I’ll do it again in February (when I have some money! LOL!).
Where?
How?
The process is the punishment. They intend to ruin him financially regardless of the outcome.
Just checked and Mark does offer gift certificates.
You can see the blurb about helping him fight his lawsuit in DC in the upper right corner of page at link below.
We are purchasing them with no plan to redeem them, but it says the gift certs never expire - does that mean he will have to carry them on his books and tie up the money instead of using the money now ?
Thanks for this thread. Mark needs our support to counteract this abuse of our court system. The leftist climate tyrants need to be opposed.
Mark Steyn is a treasure!
Mark Steyn bump!!
