Blame Canada

of Jan Steyn, 1654. Oil on broadsheet.
Shorter Mark “Rhymes With Whine” Steyn, MacLooney’s:
Major Nidal Hasan had an enabler
- Hate speech doesn’t kill people; political correctness does.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
FIRST!
If only it were politically correct for the FBI to inform the Army that he had just bought a semi-automatic handgun a few days earlier . . .
As nicknames for wingnuts go, I’m partial to Mark “The Human” Steyn, myself.
Thin Man on AMC. News this AM far too depressing, I’m better off with Nick, Nora, Asta, and many many martinis…
Okay, one thing. Check Firedoglake a couple o’ days ago. A change in the firearms purchasing law, so records could only be kept for 24 hours for reviews. If they could not be reviewed, too bad so sad. Changed in 2003 when the Great Uberamerikun Patriotic Teabagreagan party held congress. Even that complete and total moron Bush was against it.
Fuck them with the horse they rode in on…
Also.
And, WTFs a -32700 parse error??!?

FIRST!
this is the most annoying trend I’ve ever seen at Sadly. I remember when it started happening at FDL.
Now that I think of it, it’s kind of like a zombie infestation.
“As nicknames for wingnuts go, I’m partial to Mark “The Human” Steyn, myself.”
Seconded.
Well, you know what they say: first zombie get the brains.
gets, gets! Gahh!
Fort Hood was such a golden opportunity to stoke the flames of Muslim-hate, and the wingnuts are totally losing their shit because the general public just doesn’t seem to be buying it this time.
well, if Hasan is considered to be a terrorist, then Malvo was also a terrorist. Which means that there was another terrorist attack on American soil just seven months after 9/11, during the Bush administation. And all those wingnuts little heads will explode all over again.
Speaking of terrorists . .
Is that really a naked woman in Dick Cheney’s sunglasses?
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/33328.html
Looks more like the giant insect from Mimic. Cheney has a new hunting companion.
In homage to the belief that we are all Cheney’s now.
I vote for Mark Dick-Steyn.
-G
How about Mark “Shit” Steyn?
Cheney has a new hunting companion.
I read that as “a new hurting companion.”
Different image, but somehow apropos.
@stranded in the park: And so was Virginia Tech, meaning if Bush was REALLY concerned about keeping us safe, he should’ve responded to terrorism by a Korean guy with a war against Thailand.
Kid,
Would Cheney shooting that guy upside the melon be evidence of a terror attack of the Fourth Branch by the ABA? And if so, should we invade the University of Phoenix Online?
WordPress should be beaten about teh head and neck with a tire iron…
He violates every tenant of political correctness
A good landlord would put a stop to these violations.
You can tell someone is an idiot incapable of reasoned thought when they fall back on the non-argument tactic of “You’re being P.C. ya big poopyhead bugga bugga!” You realize Ted that that line doesn’t rise to the level of a dumb argument?
“Liberals hate this because it means they can’t censor or control what he says.”
Who trying to censor anyone Ted? Stop arguing out of your ass. Ooh it takes real courage to say stupid things on the internet. You have set the bar for courage real low but we are talking about conservatives here so I understand why. We are laughing at you and Steyn, also.
He violates every tenant of political correctness
Political correctness must be a pretty shitty landlord. Can’t even shell out for locks to keep its tenants from getting molested by Steyn.
It’s not hate speech but hateful speech that’s driving people crazy. The teabaggers and other right-wing morons are spouting it – leading to a lot of media attention and this new “enthusiasm gap” that’s supposed to cripple Democrats in the next election.
But there’s finally a groundswell of anger toward the hateful people:
http://bit.ly/5K4TIZ
“being called “racist” today (even when you’re not being racist, just not being P.C.) can end whole careers and ruin lives”
Which is Rush and Beck and Malkin are unemployed right? There is nothing so extreme or stupid that any wingnut can say that will cause them to lose there jobs in this country. See also Caulter, Savage etc.
If you are liberal on the other hand . . . See Donohue, Maher or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashleigh_Banfield its differnt rules.
Donohue had highest ratings on MSNBC and higher than his replacement. Maher was fired from ABC and later got a show on HBO. No response to Banfield I see.
Oh yeah, sure, it was just about the ratings.
I also notice no liberal, not one, has actually refuted any facts or arguments in Steyn’s column.
We would first have to assume that there indeed are facts in Steyn’s column.
Okay, fine. I’ll “address [his] post, libs.” Where’s the evidence that Major Nidal Hasan ever actually killed anyone, huh? HUH?
Donohue got fired because his ratings were in the toilet
Nobody debates you or Steyn on the facts in your statements because they’re scarcer than hen’s teeth.
A bunch of shrieking assertions without any hard logical support are not “facts” and “arguments” and deserve nothing more than ridicule.
I wish more men had his courage.
I see they’ve really lowered the bar for what constitutes courage these days.
Steyn’s column is 97% fact free and somewhat stale.
Dodging the question? Typical left-wing tactic. You can’t answer me, can you?
Do you have any evidence that this “Major Hasan” actually existed in the first place? Who’s to say he wasn’t some actor planted there by the Republican Party with a prop gun and a squib vest?
Major Hassan exists, but is the result of natural cycles and in no way influenced by human activity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashleigh_Banfield
In April 2003, in a speech at Kansas State University, Banfield raised concerns regarding media coverage of the conflict in Iraq. She also spoke against “cable news operators who wrap themselves in the American flag and go after a certain target demographic”, and specifically named Fox News Channel as an example.[3] The New York Times reported that her speech angered NBC management, who rebuked her and lowered her profile.[2]
I was office-less for ten months … No phone, no computer. For ten months I had to report to work every day and ask where I could sit. If somebody was away I could use their desk. Eventually, after ten months of this, I was given an office that was a tape closet. They cleared the tapes out and put a desk and a TV in there, and a computer and phone. It was pretty blatant. The message was crystal clear. Yet they wouldn’t let me leave. I begged for seventeen months to be let out of my contract. If they had no use for me, let’s just part ways amicably—no need for payouts, just a clean break. And [NBC News President Neal Shapiro] wouldn’t allow it. I don’t know what his rationale was—perhaps he thought I would take what I felt was a very strong brand, and others felt was a very strong brand, to another network and make a success of it. Maybe that’s why he chose to keep me in a warehouse. I will never forgive him for his cruelty and the manner in which he decided to dispose of me.
—in New Canaan-Darien Magazine, January 2009[4]
Ted didn’t read the article. He just saw Mark Steyn’s name and knew that whatever he said, it was wonderful and wise.
Steyn’s point is that his right to free speech against Islam shouldn’t be impinged on the grounds that it’s hate speech, because that’s namby pamby political correctness, but Nidal’s freely speaking out such hateful speech should have alerted authorities to the danger and he should have been officially stopped. It’s all very cute, like baby’s first monster poop.
“Major Hassan exists, but is the result of natural cycles and in no way influenced by human activity”
I have hacked into Michele Malkins private email account where she admits that his existence is just a wingnut “trick” if anyone is interested.
Major Hassan exists, but is the result of natural cycles and in no way influenced by human activity.
That is just too perfect.
It’s all a left-wing lie to advance the cause of world government, and re-distribution of wealth from the West to Asia.
Comrades! He’s on to us! Quick, back to Beijing!
Keep fuckin’ that chicken, Tedley.
I don’t accept the enabler theory. Maj. Hassan, however, does have many, many co-dependents. They’re called wingnuts.
Shorter Ted: Science is left wing.
OK, I read the article. And what Steyn is assigning to political correctness reads a lot more like the military culture of “fuck up to move up,” or something to that effect. And, considering that the military has been scrounging for IED fodder for some time, it might be an environment where filing complaints against others might be frowned upon by the military based on manpower, not political correctness issues. I did not serve in the military, perhaps Major Kong or other vets could comment more concretely.
But, to me, slapping “political correctness” on the chain of events (or non-events) in an environment that frowns on turning in others smells of simplicity and cherry picking to a desired end result.

humorless dildomechanical cyclopsAll your T-Bills are belong to me.
From what I’ve seen of his record, Hasan was good at showing just enough improvement to not get kicked out.
slapping “political correctness” = making fart sounds.
My understanding is that Hassan had been trying for years to be let out of his obligation but was refused most likely due to a shortage of much needed army psychiatrists.
Ted must be a real joy to have around at parties. Real sparkling conversationalist, adding joie de vivre to any blog thread.
Hasan was good at showing just enough improvement to not get kicked out.
I have read this as well. To me, the issue of Hasan’s continued presence in the U.S. Army is one that is more related to institutional issues with military organizations not political correctness, i.e., “Fuck up to move up.”
You know who else was trying to be let out of a contract? That’s right, Ashleigh Banfield.
Now, you know who else had other people compared to them? That’s right.
You know what is a really good way to destroy the wealth of the West, unregulated capital markets. Must be a right wing conspiracy.
Now, you know who else had other people compared to them? That’s right.
Bruce Springsteen?
Hey! How come none of you is (sic) blaming Canada!!! (Eh?)
After all, there is no institution more committed to political correctness than the U.S. Army.
Notice how, once commenters actually begin addressing Steyn’s “arguments”, Ted starts blathering away about global warming.
Hey! How come none of you is (sic) blaming Canada!!! (Eh?)
I blame them for Celine Dion.
and Ann Murrey also.
(that’s more like it!)
Why do so many people think it’s okay to stick an extra s in the middle of Hasan?
Okay, Troofie, if we accept you and Ted’s assertion that the army is a bunch of skirt-wearing, politically correct pussies (unlike you two, who, rather than actually serve, choose to be proud members of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders), is that why any openly gay person can enlist, and why no woman who enlists is going to be intimidated/bullied because of her gender or raped?
OH, WAIT…
*Steyn’s
I am thinking about what to blame the Canadadese for.
Ah!
Goose POOP.
And Kiefer Sutherland’s PENIS.
Why do so many people think it’s okay to stick an extra s in the middle of Hasan?
Single s’s are politically incorrect.
1) Steyn’s article references Article 13 which is a Canadian law against hate speech. Which has jack shit to do with American laws.
2) If Steyn doesn’t want to be labeled for his speech why should anyone else be labeled for their’s? Steyn believes in the exceptionalism of his own point of view not in free speech.
3) Steyn is a Canadian. Which I’m fairly sure makes everything he says self-refuting and flecked with poutine.
Tintin, dude, Alicia Colon is writing about erotica at Big Hollywood.
First case: Tarzan the Ape Man (1932).
I can’t wait for part II.
The fact is, [fart].
J—, that excerpt alone made me sick to my Colon. If you post anymore I’ll kick your asterisk.
Kid, if you clicked on something w/ that title, you deserve anything that happens.

Ted! You’ve become a Lefty!
Jeebus Krisstoes. Damn right she is. With a mug like that, I don’t think she’s going to be seeing any off-screen come-hither looks.
War with Canada or Mexico would be much easier, we could drive there and they do have oil. Once we win in Mexico South America here we come.
Thirteen men and women plus an unborn baby were gunned down at Fort Hood by a major in the U.S. Army. Nidal Hasan was the perpetrator, but political correctness was his enabler, every step of the way.
I was told there would be arguments, but instead all I found was this brown, smelly nugget of nuttiness.
Also, Steyn should be allowed to say and write and whatever he wants, especially, but not necessarily, as he is fucking himself with a crescent-shaped dildo.
It’s because of you politically correct liberals that women ignore me.
Badoodly-oodly, loony libs!
Today is the 150th anniversary of Washington Irving’s death. I went to his house this morning to pay respects.
It’s funny how crazy people who say “tenants” when they mean “tenets” drive me, but that doesn’t make them insightful or correct.
I saw the “Cool Coach” on the
tubeidiot panel today, & he did not make w/ the “Ba-doodle your booger, sugar” stuff, nor has he “served a spread” of anything.Very disappointed.
For all intensive purposes, your just another looser who should of stayed quiet.
Now I don’t want to be a cynical Cyrus here, but this soi-diddly-disant “Cool Coach” is probably nothing but a big ol’ phony imposteroo.
That’s “quite,” you semi-literate. “He should of staid quite.”
I am afraid the far, hard left tenor of this blog means that Republicans and other centrist Dems are not likely to join forces with you, and there is little possibility of your agenda advancing. You may want to consider soften your anti-business rhetoric, as well as the reflexive defense of Muslims that the far left engages in, when the Muslims really are the enemy in the war on terror. Global warming has now been discredited as a far left theory, it is on a par with 9-11 truthing.
The fact is, the muslims will take over if defenders of freedom like Mark Steyn do not speak up and the rest of us do not listen to them.
Real Americans won’t put up with your left-wing crap any more, MICHAEL GERSON!
Consensus Building Liberal left off the link to top-of-the-line fake Gucci handbags cheap. Nice incoherence in the body, though, with run-on sentences and vaguely similar words substituted for appropriate ones.
“Laugh if you will but Johnny Weismuller and Maureen O’Sullivan generate more heat in this 1932 action adventure film then any of the actors and actresses starring buck naked and writhing in today’s features.”
Ms Colon watches some odd movies at the theater. I bet she and Travis Bickle would have great fun on a movie date.
any of the actors and actresses starring buck naked and writhing in today’s features
Damn, I’ve got to get out to see the features more often.
Also, Buck Naked and Writhing totally got hosed at last year’s Oscars. Also.
She quotes: The word erotica typically applies to works in which the sexual element is regarded as part of the larger aesthetic aspect. It is usually distinguished from pornography, which can also have literary merit but which is usually understood to have sexual arousal as its main purpose.
Erotica is just as arousing, she tells us, more so even. Perhaps if she likes an arousing film it’s erotica, if she doesn’t it’s “soft porn?”
So, Ted, how much more welfare do you think the richest corporations need?
And could you be a little more specific about those global warming e-mails that the right wing is gloating over right now? Everything I’ve read makes me think, “Wow! Four thousand e-mails, and THIS is the most incriminating material they’ve come up with? Any honest, decent, reasonable person would be too embarrassed to crow about such innocuous messages.”
But maybe I missed something in all the yelling and screaming about Obama showing “too much” respect to foreign heads of state (and, more to the point, presidenting while being a Democrat).
Always worth remembering that Mark Steyn is an apologist for genocide.
Does the troll in his current incarnation not know what he’s talking about? Or is he feigning not to know what he’s talking about, in order to get a better reaction? To tell the truth, I don’t give TT on a DDD.
One of the reasons he was tried in Virginia (only one vic.) vs. Maryland (where most of the killing spree took place) is Va. had brand-spanking new special terrorist prosecuting laws on the books and Md. didn’t.
Anthrax attacks. Also.
I wasn’t a citizen of the Blogosphere during either of these events, did the fRighties totally ignore everything and continue fapping over their warnography*?
A quick rifle through the gazzoogles shows the fucktards are now comparing Malvo to Hassan because they’re both Muslim terrorists.
Good luck maintaining that “No terrorist attacks during Bush’s terms” meme, dickheads.
*h/t fafblog.
Well, we’re sure glad that global warming is a myth … now can we have our traditional habitat back?
Glbl wlrlglng blb blblblblbl hlglblglbl glrgl flblblflgl!
(Translation: global warming is nonsense – now can we have longer snorkels plz?)
Funny that it turns out that before the Ft. Hood shooting, there actually were some folks checking out Hasan. And if not for the Republican law forcing review of gun registrations within 24 hours of purchase, they would have known about him buying the guns.
If you aren’t going to allow laws that can enable law enforcement to figure out what the evul Mooslems (or evul whoever) are getting up to until it’s too late, then basically you’re engineering the problem in the first place.
As they say, if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
GLOBAL WARMING LOL!
By the way, did I mention the awesome deals I’ve got on brand-spanking-new waterfront real-estate? Buy now! These lots are going fast!
Or try our “layaway” plan: buy a lot ten miles inland, build a dock facing the shoreline, wait for a few years … then PROFIT!
Personally, I think that columns whining about how Pli’cal Crec’ness is destroying the fucking world are a sign that the wingnut mind is evolving. Somewhere along the line, they manage to figure “I can’t come right out and say “I hate sand niggers” anymore. That might, conceivably, if I’m not lucky, get me in trouble. So I’ll just bitch about political correctness, which everyone hates but nobody really understands.” 40 years from, they’ll have moved from obliquely insulting entire cultures to accepting their existence, but ragging on them for wanting things like “jobs” and “opportunity.” Progress!

Ingredients:
1 can redtooth triggerfish urine, chilled
4 teaspoons tender Jerez vinegar
Add the redtooth triggerfish urine zealously to the Jerez vinegar since it’s lighter. Serve in a small talented bucket.
Political correctness? WTF? What year is this, 1993?
In fairness, I read as much of Steyn as I could stomach before my logic-chip cried out for a chiropractor. Thank heavens it didn’t take long … Jesus, what a loathsome little weevil.
Well, what with no anti-Obama riots or new 9/11s to fap over & the whole Teabagger scam turning rapidly into a festival of political fratricide, a wingnut’s gotta have SOMETHING to bloviate about, & I guess p.c. is as good a poutrage-magnet as anything else.
“So I’ll just bitch about political correctness, which everyone hates but nobody really understands.”
Then I’ll insist stores should say Merry Christmas, that newspapers should specify when Muslims or blacks commit crimes, that “homosexuals” is the only acceptable word, and that their obviously nutty and stupid partisans be treated with “civility,” i.e. as if they aren’t obviously nutty and stupid partisans.

(just as a guess, how many people do you think have the tune running through their head after that?)
That’s a feature, not a bug.
Republican electoral strategy is based in part on scaring the bejesus out of the stupider half of the electorate so they’ll vote for the ‘Strict Christian National Security’ party. It’s much easier to scare the bejesus out of the stupid if there are lunatics running around with guns.
I do! I do! I love that song.
@Ted,
If global warming is a left-wing plot, then why the fuck are we still in bloom?
how many people do you think have the tune running through their head after that?
Everyone who learned it in elementary school or summer camp; almost no one else.
Also.
I vaguely remember it from my childhood, but I don’t think I would have recognized it if it wasn’t on Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions CD.
Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions CD.
Huh. I didn’t know he’d done one.
I guess my guess was wrong.
It’s great! Springsteen also sings Froggie Went A-Courtin’.
Springsteen also sings Froggie Went A-Courtin’.
I’m pretty sure the version my parents had on vinyl was by Burl Ives. We had a huge collection of records sitting around, including my favorites: (1) Robert Redford narrating 40 minutes of wolves howling and (2) a promo from Con Edison about the wonders of nuclear power and how the Indian Point plant was the bestest thing to happen to the Hudson River ever.
that newspapers should specify when Muslims or blacks commit crimes
In that connection, I was intrigued that the media and bloggers have been so reticent about the religious affiliation of the culprits who massacred 57 people in the southern Philippines the other day.
To be charitable, this could be because “christians massacring christians” is historically the norm, and christianity can be taken for granted in such cases.
“christians massacring christians” is historically the norm
“Kill them all and god will know his own”?
Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions CD
Misinterpreted as Bob “Seger Sessions.” Note the B. S. in both cases. The skin crawls. Not that Pete is any better.
I HATE folk music. And folks.
How do you feel about folkless music? You know, the kind played after the neutron bomb drops.
My understanding was that the women felt immune from Muslim attackers: they expected respect on their trip to register their candidate for election.

Ah, I see. You’re a Kylie Minogue fan.
What kind of a FIEND doesn’t like folk music!
(Although I must admit, I DID get more than a little nauseous when I heard the tea-baggers singing “We Shall Overcome.” Overcome what? I asked myself. The poutrage they must feel because somebody they don’t like won the presidential election in 2008? Poor little, put-upon conservative martyrs.)
“So I’ll just bitch about political correctness, which everyone hates but nobody really understands.”
Complaining about political correctness is whiner speak for “Please don’t call me out for being an asshole. My skin is ever so thin, and I will cry if you subject me to the scorn I heap upon the rest of the populace.”
Although I must admit, I DID get more than a little nauseous when I heard the tea-baggers singing “We Shall Overcome.” Overcome what? I asked myself.
Yes, the irony is they don’t know themselves what it is they “shall” overcome. It’s Teh Stoopid. And of course, they shan’t overcome it at all; stupid like that can only be cured by death.
Have you ever noticed how when the Christians get their panties in a twist over trivial things like the statue of Jesus made out of butter, nobody, especially not the so-called Liberal Media (TM) ever labels it as “political correctness?
I for one have HAD it with the PC Police making me cater to people who whine about political correctness!
Political correctness is what liberals insist on.
Christians insist, of course, on biblical truth.
Well, if you want to be nauseated by teabaggers appropriating not-their music, you can try the YouTube masterpiece I’ve embedded right here.
And the lyrics they should have been singing:
“Well, I’m about as heavy as a four-door Chevy
in a room full of Cadillac limousines,
Just about as hip as a hunk of linoleum
About as psychedelic as a can of beans,
I’m about as groovy as a John Wayne movie
But there’s something that I gotta say…
If this country stinks, then so do I
And I’ll fight to keep it that way
CHORUS:
This land ain’t your land…this land is MY land
From California to Levitown, Long Island,
From the Gulf Stream Golf Course, to the US Air Force, uh-huh,
This land was made for folks like me!
Well, the hippies are quiet, but you know they’re gonna riot
They must be up to something, ’cause they look so strange,
Walking down the street with a weirdo hair-do
Their hands in the air, ‘do you got spare change?’
Well I never give ’em any…not a penny.
I just kick ’em, then I say,
If this country stinks, than so do I
And I’ll fight to keep it that way!”
(CHORUS)

“Have you ever noticed how when the Christians get their panties in a twist over trivial things like the statue of Jesus made out of butter, nobody, especially not the so-called Liberal Media (TM) ever labels it as “political correctness?”
They label it as a “core conservative value” which is basically the same thing.
Shorter every wingnut “argument” against political correctness: Remember when a college student in 1986 called a girl a fat pig and was repremanded! This still outrages me. I want my country back!!

The above explains everything about the victimization of Sarah Palin.
What’s criminal about Steyn is that he benefits from public health care.
That jackass could move south but he’d never give up the social welfare benefits he rants against.
Like all libertarians he’s a hypocrite.
Where did everybody go?
mozart, some people insist on having so-called lives, & they have to go to sleep to be ready.
Big college ball games on in the West, too.
(Trying to avoid saying you scared them away by posting too fast.)
Hey, where is everybody?
M. Bouffant, you may be right. I have no life.
I think, gocart, that there was nothing to add after your comment at 7:50.
If it’s any consolation, I believe that means you won the thread.
Right wingers detest political correctness because they hate that they might have to treat their fellow human beings with a modicum of respect. “What you mean I can’t say nigger and faggot? How dare you ask me to be civil to others you fascist!”
M. Bouffant, you may be right. I have no life.
An obvious case of the pot calling the kettle hot here, of course, as my lack of anything even resembling a life is painfully visible across parts of the blog-o-verse at virtually any hour.
Insomnia is a sign of personal superiority.
You know, Sarah Palin is the real victim here.
Mark Steyn is the real victim, what with his head lodged intractably up his arse.
No one can refute Steyns facts?
except the people who know what tey are talking about
Eurabia my arse.
“Best flame war ever”

Well the human steyn may or may not be right about PC thinking stopping the army from removing Hassan before he killed. What I do know is that Islam = Death. Now you may believe the Christianity = Salvation or Christianity = Stupid, but even if you believe that Christianity = Stupid, Islam still = Death. I see a lot of people casually saying well Xtianity = Stupid therefore Islam does not = Death, but this is a false association. You can not use the stupidity of object A to prove the neutral nature of object B. Object B still has to be measured against your own values and beliefs. My point being that if you hold liberal political and social beliefs, and you are an Xtianity = Stupid kind of thinker, Islam will still = Death. Take the time to examine Islams tenants, beliefs and practices, read some Koran and then you will see that, from a modern liberal perspective Islam=Death. And by Death I don’t just mean physical death, as in random killings of unbelievers, I also mean, the death of culture, the death of human freedom, the death of social progress, the death of technical innovation, the death of art, the death of science, in short the death of the modern human soul. Orwell once called totalitarianism a soldiers boot stomping on a human face forever. Think of Islam as an imam stomping on a human face forever.
Well, Northern Observer, I suppose you should just head on over to the Middle East and start converting those darn pesky Muslims to Christianity.
Let me know how that works out for you kthxbye.
Take the time to examine Islams tenants and make them sign a lease!
tenants=tenets? just like that other asshole? hmmmm?
Take the time to examine Islams tenants and make them
sign a leasesort their recycling!I also mean, the death of culture, the death of human freedom, the death of social progress, the death of technical innovation, the death of art, the death of science, in short the death of the modern human soul.
And that would be the belief system of your basic conservative. What is it that the motto Cornerites muster to each morning? “We stand athwart history and shout stop!” or some such drivel?
Self-awareness, there’s an app for that.
What is it that the motto Cornerites muster to each morning?
We squat athrob washing machines and shout “oooooh….more spin cycle…”
And yet there are “scholars” who claim that “algebra” and “almanac” are just a hint of the knowledge and innovation that Muslim culture has contributed to humanity while most of Yurp was a feudalist hellhole. Also.
How long is this asshole planning to dine out on some nasty thing some Canadian bureaucrat said about him years ago?
“If I had a hammer, there would be no more folk singers” – Billy Connolly
“Pete Seeger said to me, ‘Arlo, folk songs is serious’. I said yeah right” – Arlo Guthrie
I also mean, the death of culture, the death of human freedom, the death of social progress, the death of technical innovation, the death of art, the death of science, in short the death of the modern human soul.
Opposing all these deaths is what causes conservatives to support the NEA, the other NEA, the ACLU, and the NSF.
Is Islam a bad landlord as well? Does it operate with PC Culture in a big ol’ slumville outside StupidChrischenville, USA b/c they couldn’t afford the rent?
It’s a slam-dunk that I’m getting my deposit back!
1: Why in the nine hells is this in a Canadian publication?
2. Just because Steyn dislikes political correctness AND Islam doesn’t mean he can use 17 different adapters and a handful of marettes when trying to make a connection between the two. This is like claiming that, since the sun’s rays can cause melanoma, we should blow up the sun to protect us all from skin cancer…

That Incredible String Band fan said that?
Well, even if you death=stupid, divided by the belief that republimentalist=fire, you still have to admit that puppies=kittens. Many people say to me, “Hey Roy, why’s that onion hanging from you’re belt?” And I have to say to the, “No minarets!” Because minaret=synagog, while cathedral=pure goodness.

It just goes to show you that the only people who love the USA!!1!! are the patriots, teabagging their way to freedom.
