Pretty soon even conservatives will be asking why other conservatives collude with the Left in the game of Smoke and Mirrors.

...as I write, young Saudi males are still arriving at US airports on routinely issued student visas.

There's an old Polish saying that goes something like this:
When a nation turns its back on God, he allows them to lose their minds.

Hey! I went to school with Stiffy Farquahar-ffarquahar!

BRILLIANT, even for Stein, who is always at-least half brilliant.

[dead]

Now there's a ping list I want to be on.

Please add my name.

Thanks.

YEEE-HAW!   Our beloved polysyllabically ornate Mark Steyn defines the monosyllabic PC morons!   I just wish the idiots could read and, in reading this, learn.   I can't believe things like saying it is too much work to investigate the flight schools!!!?   It's like the DC police when they said the park was too big to search the whole thing for Chandra.   Where were these lazy bass turds raised?

[Pokey78]

Done.

Classic Steyn--headed for the office e-mail.

Great column! Not much I could add to it.

Please add me to the ping list, too.

I am convinced that Wen Ho Lee was a definate spy, but the PC crowd never let the case happen. I wonder whatever happened to that Chicom spy? Someone shoudl write a book about it. (Oh yeah, I see that Lars Nelson got a mention in the article - I can't say that I'm sad that he died)

Political Correctness Kills. And while I second Ann Coulter's hopes, its too much to expect our institutions to realize that in the mean time their stupidity is leaving us wide open to another terrorist attack. I mean think about it: our government had ADVANCE warning, ADVANCE notice of the KIND OF PEOPLE who were going to pull off something never seen before in the United States. And it did NOTHING because it was afraid of being accused of the dreaded crime of giving Arabs a closer second look. Which might have saved all those lives lost on 911. Mark Steyn is right about two things: we can't be bothered to suck up to friendly conservative oil-rich Alberta even which we're kissing the Saudis behinds and crippled nuns will still be mindlessly frisked in our nation's airports.

I wanna be on the Steyn ping list, too. He's great, and too prolific for me to keep up with....

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Excellent Steyn. And a ping for James Woods, who, despite his forays to the left, is still, IMO, one of the best and most intelligent actors out there -- which I thought even before 9/11.

BTW, I saw somewhere that Woods has signed to play Mayor Guiliani in a TV movie.

I'm relatively new to FR. It's my understanding that a bunch of Republican legislators, Congressional staffers, and administration officials check out the site regularly. What is their response to the obvious truths that PC has killed thousands of Americans and that it will do so again under Norm Mineta's policies??

[Pokey78]

Done.

I would suggest that until the downside of the PC pandering outweighs the rewards, we'll see it continue.

The politicians will have to hear the angry voices of the people, and they aren't inclined to listen, just yet.

I guess 3,000 dead civilians isn't loud enough.
