Mark Steyn: Racism is bad - so is self-delusion

Another Steyn home run. The guy just nails it on topic after topic.

>>>You can't make a racist omelette without egged whites.<<<

Mark Steyn nailed it. I am growing increasingly weary of the "Boy who cried Racist". I am growing even more intolerent of "intolerence". And I am mad as hell at "multiculturalism".

George Washington, in his Farewell Address, stated: "With slight shades of difference, you have the same Religion, Manners, Habits & political Principles. You have in a common cause fought & triumphed together."

I am one of those who have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles as George Washington. If you are one of those, then you will understand this statement: It is time we take back our country.

Can you add me to your steyn ping list.

Thank you very much!

Steyn "gets it" again... Thanks for the ping.

"I would venture another guess that she hasn't thought of that. Yet."

Isn't she a blonde?

[gcruse]

Don't we all? No one touches Steyn alive today. In the past, if you combined Mark Twain and HL Mencken, you might have a fair facsimile of Steyn. He's that great.

Can you add me to the ping list?

[wardaddy]

All the race baiters around here should read this too.

I like you.

[onyx]

What's with your page? LOL!

[wardaddy]

Steyn keeps this up and he may be called a white nationalist one day.

A new smear codeword which is being overused.

[wardaddy]

....this is where the third world war began...

[Watery Tart]

Thanks for the ping AGAIN, Pokey!

A sniper starts killing petrol station customers around Washington, DC? John Allen Muhammed.
....
But the eagerness of the Aussie and British and Canadian and European media, week in, week out, to attribute each outbreak of an apparently universal phenomenon to strictly local factors is starting to look pathological. "Violence and racism are bad", but so is self-delusion.

IIRC, it even took them a while to admit that his name was muhammed!

[metesky]

Excellent take on the way it is.

Steyn bump for the morning crowd.

[LiberationIT]

Good morning, thanks for the ping and BTTT.

To say that this particular Steyn article or that one "tops" the others suggests that the former ones were somehow inferior, and that simply isn't the case: this brilliant man writes as perfectly delightfully, every time, on every subject he undertakes. He is one of my heroes!!!!!

It is about time that his sage writings are broadcast loudly and broadly. Please send his columns to your email lists, and especially those who are smart enough to pick up on the message and spread it along.

[Pokey78]

Sure!

[Pokey78]

Done.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Steyn on form!

[blueknight]

Thanks for the ping. Steyn bump.

[MitchellC]
