The Mohammed Thong Ping!
Thank you
Is something wrong with Steyn? He mentions it in the first paragraph.
Thanks for posting.
Why don’t some of the 2A groups agree to provide free armed security for groups like Ms. Geller’s?
You know what would have been almost more cool than the cop killing the two terrorists?
Them breaking into the hall and receiving the massed return fire of 100 attendees.
” To be sure, they have a mild disagreement about the means to that end -”
No Mark. they really don’t.
He’s outdone himself, again. Thanks for posting.
Heh! He doesn't mean Peace.
I knew Mark Steyn would be on the right side of this.
All of Western civilization is on a plane ride, headed toward the twin towers of Peace and Freedom.
Who's going to say, "Let's roll!"
Silence will only buy a tiny bit of time, spent in terror.
As usual Steyn nails it so many ways in one article that it's tough to decide on the money quote.
I noticed he used the phrase "those who" THIS or THAT twice in two consecutive sentences. Wonder if he was being sarcastic or just playing along with the absurdity of it. Why suddenly do we hear and read "those who whatever" in almost every article about Islam? It's such a wierd, almost archaic sounding expression. Don't know why it bugs me, but it does.
I understand the participants were not allowed to CCW, making the interior of the event a gun free zone. Not good.
Liberals believe in free speech but....
And when you add all the “buts” up, there is no free speech left.
No controversy, no debate, no danger and no growth.
Since we’re politically correct, why not add Islam to the list of ideas you shouldn’t contest?
The respectable folks are slowly and remorselessly extinguishing freedom throughout the West. Because of the conceit freedom - well its much too dangerous to bear so we need to tame it here and there to have the quiet we prefer.
Problem is those who want to trade freedom for quiet inevitably will end up with neither. That’s the conundrum of our time.
I have decided that over the next 12 months I am going to purchase one of everything Steyn sells. I have some and have read them all, but this is my way to support the guy and some people who love me will have a good Christmas.
Steyn as usual has it correct.
So if a conservative decided to take out Chrissy Mathews for his hateful speech, I would not mind. Go at it. All hate speakers must be beheaded. Sissy would understand.
Staying queit doesn't work and making a lot of noise while sitting on one's butt also doesn't work.
Our side has been taking "the high road" and staying civilized in the face of rabid and feral foes and it doesn't work.
if we are to make any inroads (especially in politics which fosters the crap that harms us) we need to be noisy and just as in-your-face as those we mock for doing what works.
Until we can muster up the drive and energy to get out in large numbers and make threatening noises against that which subjugates us, we will continue to lose our Freedoms.
