"I’ve got three kids under the age of ten, and it seems to me that by the time they’re in young adulthood a lot of the places I know and love — including, believe it or not, France — will be a lot less congenial, if not lost for ever. I’m in this thing for me and mine....And so are you. And, if you reckon you’re not, you’d better be a childless centenarian in the late stages of avian flu. Unless you act, you’re going to lose your world."

This pretty much sums up our future.

If Steyn keeps this up, he is going to be the Mark Twain of our times.

...the flowery-furrowed M. de Villepin...

...You right-wing sh!t-for-brains think everything’s about jihad...

...if you and your infidel whore happen to be lying there wearing nothing but two coats of Ambre Solaire when they show up...

...more elderly white Catholic ethnic frogs will have croaked...

...the hegemonic lardbutt...

...giant space monkeys might suddenly descend and eat Cleveland...

...Some kill Dutch film-makers and some complain about Piglet coffee mugs on co-workers’ desks, and millions of Muslims don’t do any of the above but apparently don’t feel strongly enough about them to say a word in protest.

...the chewing gum to make Arab men susceptible to the seduction techniques of Jewesses...(that's my brand)

Shall we post poetry for Mr Steyn? Well, since he brought the subject up I can't resist posting a great poem that applies quite well to the French dilemma.

The Second Coming -- W. B. Yeats


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.


Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Gosh, I love Steyn. My favorite part:

European citizens should recognise that the governing class has failed, that the conventional wisdom has run its course, and that it is highly unlikely that those culturally confident Muslims will wish to assimilate with anything as shrivelled and barren as contemporary European identity. Donald Rumsfeld, a man confined to the enclosures of thought, likes to say that weakness is a provocation. And for the last two weeks that’s all the French state has projected.

There is even a Rummy line..........

Eurabian Youts bump.

Instead, the Prime Minister has announced ‘a raft of measures’, although, as rafts go, this one doesn’t seem likely to make it to shore.

How does he do it?

Steyn nails it again. With an a-bomb of truth.
