As good as it gets. Mark Steyn, God bless him, is the only commentator who consistently nails the euroweenies and the american "left" for their craven hypocrisy: their accommodationist attitudes toward all these brutal islamofascist dictators is predicated on a thoroughly repugnant racial, ethnic & religious paternalism: 'Arabs (those mindless little sand monkeys)can't be expected to govern themselves in a civilized way.How dare this silly, intellectually impaired american cowboy even ask us to strain our imaginations contemplating such a ludicrous thing!' Scratch the BBC/CNN/AFP's reflexively condescending, blatantly patronizing attitudes towards the infamous "arab street" and their skepticism of the pie-in-the-sky notion that folks in the Middle East might actually enjoy, given the opportunity, excercising the same freedoms the paleocolonialists at these propaganda outlets take for granted, and what you've got is as baldy racist as anything David Duke has ever even tried to get away with claiming. Soft bigotry of low expectations? Meet stone-cold prejudice of no expectations. Scratch a little further and what inexorably bubbles up these days from the Blame America First crowd in London, Brussels, Berlin & their slavish devotees on the American "left" is a nasty strain of anti-semitism as overtly virulent as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion anyday, whether or not Abe Foxman lives long enough to finally get it. Mark Steyn really & truly is the only guy who's calling these twits with their phony "bumper-sticker" compassion for third-worlders what they really are.
Nope. He has a soul mate a fellow traveler in Ann Coulter. They should have children so the next generation can benefit.
