I think a healthy society needs both God and guns: It benefits from a belief in some kind of higher purpose to life on Earth, and it requires a self-reliant citizenry. If you lack either of those twin props, you wind up with today's Europe – a present-tense Eutopia mired in fatalism.

A while back, I was struck by the words of Oscar van den Boogaard, a Dutch gay humanist (which is pretty much the trifecta of Eurocool). Reflecting on the Continent's accelerating Islamification, he concluded that the jig was up for the Europe he loved, but what could he do? "I am not a warrior, but who is?" he shrugged. "I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."

Mark Steyn should be required reading in American public schools.

Which is exactly why he's not.

...”Oscar van den Boogaard, a Dutch gay humanist (which is pretty much the trifecta of Eurocool)”...

This must be the guy that MI Gov. Granholm (D) collaborated with when developing her flaky “Cool Cities” agenda. It’s probably the flakiest idea any governor of Michigan has ever had.
