"If Darkness Can Dawn": FReeper Review of Mark Steyn's "America Alone"

October 11th, 2006 | AnnaZ

[AnnaZ]

Will books/articles of this nature make it across the "great divide"? That is, will those on the left and a growing number of appeasers on the right be moved to greater introspection?

That's the great hope. But even if they don't, we have to win anyway.

I mean after all, when a group declares war on us and our way of life, shouldn't we actually do something besides praise the foundation from whence it springs??? ROP my arse!

It is incredibly silly, is it not?

Oh well... "Onward Christian Soldiers", and all that other politically incorrect crazy stuff.

Lookee' here.  

When AnnaZ says buy the book, any self-respecting FReeper follows through.

Annaz I'll put it at the top of my must read list!

"It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Paleologus - as quoted by Pope Benedict XVI

Landru, thought you weren't too particularly fond of Mark Steyn's work . . .

Thanks to AnnaZ's rather eloquent review I decided to purchase this on the oft chance I'll find the opportunity to read something other than a technical manual within the next three months.

Thanks for the ping.

[AnnaZ]

I always wondered what would happen if we said we wouldn't get involved if any european countries went after each other.

We'll see what happens in the (next few) years to come. Some in Europe are oh-so-slowly waking up to the mess they have within their own borders, and they will eventually have to deal with it. They don't need to go outside of them to look for trouble.

[AnnaZ]

Gotta get it.

Do.

Yes, Austin is rather liberal, but it's the best combination of outdoor/urban life ever. Great food, great culture, great scenery. And the more non-leftarded that move here, the better.

In life, there is soap.

I'm going to have to admit that that one went right over my head.

-thanks for the ping to this.

If it is the one on the west side don't try too hard.

If it is the one south of town, go if you have to crawl there and save some room for berry cobbler.

Yikes, I'd be pulling for you if I had only been recommending the funny pages.

"Technical manual". I think that's the thing that comes with something electronic that immediately goes into that miscellaneous drawer in the kitchen.

;^)

Thanks for the ping, and link to the autographed copies! (or whatever)

Mine came from the publisher, so no autograph. Consider yourself fortunate.

[AnnaZ]

Thank you.

If it is the one south of town, go if you have to crawl there and save some room for berry cobbler.

It's the south one. But it's also a football practice night. Thus the dilemma. Picture me scrambling.

"I understand your points regarding cannibalism, and it is sad, and you are right."

I'm right, huh.
Thanks.

"Now is really the time to put personal differences aside and face the real enemy..."

Preaching to the chorus, Anna.
You know that. I know that. So what would you guess is the hangup, then? {~strictly rhetorical...}

"-- the black and white one, not the shades of gray. We can get back to petty infighting later."

Nothing petty whatsoever when our "fighters" have been taken out of the "fight", by the right.
In case you've not noticed many of the Rights best fighters have already fallen, many more than I could list incidentally.

No matter, moving on from petty concerns to more urgent matters.

...have yourself a nice day, kid.

[Landru]

"Landru, thought you weren't too particularly fond of Mark Steyn's work..."

Look BM, I'm *cool* towards the man because I'm not real fond -- particularly or otherwise -- of anyone criticizing our POTUS *or* nation.
Just ornery, that way.

Hope the explanation clarifies my position.

...for you. ;^)
