I read the Roeper rant and wanted to puke. I'm glad that Steyn took the time to respond.

I don't see why everyone keeps insisting that Muhammad and Malvo can't be "terrorists" unless they are affiliated with an organized group. They can be freelance jihadis, inspired by the organized groups. They are still terrorists.

"This particular member of the Undocumented-American community..."

Undocumented-American as another form of hyphnenation!

LONG LIVE MARK STEYN!!!!

Conservatism deals with specifics, liberalism subordinates everything to ideological generalities.

I'm whipping that out the next time some twinkie is stupid enough to argue with me.

The quote that is....

[Gritty]

Like the Saudi mass murderers with their perfunctorily filled out joke visa forms, (Malvo is) yet another guy let loose in this country by the federal bureaucracy to kill Americans

C'mon, Mark. Give it to us straight. Don't sugar coat it!

If they were right-wingers, does anyone doubt the left would be calling them terrorists, even in the absense of any connection to other right-wingers? And does anyone doubt they'd be blaming everyone to the right of John McCain?

Free-lance terrorist is not a contradiction in terms.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

the facts of life are not liberal. Which is why the left has less and less interest in anything so humdrum as facts.

All the left is interested in is PR. Conservatism is interested in what works. So leftism is simply the difference between good policy and good PR.

The Black Muslim Farrakahn follower, with illegal alien sidekick from the Islands, IS a terrorist!

I could never figure out why Roger Ebert picked Roeper to succeed Gene Siskel when he died. Roeper has always been meaner than a snake. Ebert is a gigantic liberal, but he's not mean, petty and vindictive.

[driftless]

Liberalism's chief operating principle today is apparently to tell people that they are not responsible for their lousy lives. Someone else is, and that someone is mostly likely that nasty, adult, white, male Republican who spends every waking moment (and a lot of dreaming ones) scheming and thinking of ways to do nasty things to people who aren't adult, white, male Republicans. In short paranoia and ignorance are what the Democrats offer to the American public nowadays.

Maybe the INS isn't bleeding heart kind. Maybe the INS takes bribes.

Malvo and I were both born subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, he in Jamaica, I in Toronto. The issue is not where he's from but where he went: America. He was detained and released by the INS in breach of their own procedures. That's what ties young Malvo to Sept. 11: Like the Saudi mass murderers with their perfunctorily filled out joke visa forms, he's yet another guy let loose in this country by the federal bureaucracy to kill Americans.

Conservatism deals with specifics, liberalism subordinates everything to ideological generalities

Add to that, solipsism (the view that only the self exists, as the self perceives itself (and the world) to exist---in other words, a liberal's view of the world is "true" simply because the liberal believes it to be, despite any and all concrete evidence to the contrary).
