An excellent, if unusually serious piece by Mark Steyn. Let's stand together and face down this evil...till it is blasted from the face of the earth.

Regards, Ivan

[MadIvan]

Bump!

[Libertina]

Granted that the fetid swamp of equivalence is often mistaken for the moral high ground, it's rarely been so crowded.
Love Mark Steyn's writing! BUMP

[swarthyguy]

Mark Steyn quotes Neil Young. Guess those Canadians like to stick together.

Steyn Rocks.

If anyone has a nice recipe for fudge, do let's post it under breaking news, shall we?

[MadIvan]

This is not the first time Steyn has been under breaking news. I apologise for causing any offense. But perhaps you're being a trifle grumpy?

This is not the first time Steyn has been under breaking news.

I don't know what someone's past mistakes have to do with anything, but aren't you being a trifle goofy, posting an editorial/commentary under breaking news? When Steyn pays his light bill, does that also qualify as breaking? Are the moderators paying attention anymore, or just picking their noses until they bleed?

Who died and made you the Catagories Gestapo?

Just learn the definition of breaking news, tough guy, and you'll make a lot of people happy. Over and out.

And learn this - you're confusing me with someone who give's a rat's arse about what you think. "Over and out", "tough guy".

I've got $10 on MadIvan for the win on a TKO in the 8th round.

[paulklenk]

What exactly is it about breaking news that is so gosh-darn all-mysterious and elusive to the average Freeper? There is an editorial category. Use it. If you insist on creating a sloppy environment at FR, you will drive away the rational, intelligent people and keep it safe for any and every member of the Stupid Parade that happens to walk by. Why are you so threatened by intelligent people trying to make this site function better?

"rat s**t"

[paulklenk]

"rat s**t"! LOL!

[KS Flyover]

Just being, :`)

The only intelligent people on the thread before I showed up were involved in verabl fisticuffs. How intelligent is that? The intelligent guy wouldn't have been goaded into an escalating war of words.

[dennisw]

btttttttttttttttt

[paulklenk]

"War of words" is an oxymoron; they're just words. They're what we use here at FR. Sorry that's so upsetting to you.

Perhaps you'd like it better if we let FR become overgrown with weeds, bad habits, and not-so-sharp people who can't take criticism. Gee, what a place that would be! People would come here in droves.

Hey, wait -- they're leaving in droves.

[fineright]

I agree. He insists on creating a sloppy enviroment here at FR.

I hate this forum just for this point, and refuse to ever visit this site again.(sarcasm off)

[paulklenk]

(ignore on)

Gee, I can't wait for that feature, so I can watch the Stupid Parade dissipate into cyberspace. Instead of the other way around -- with the smart ones leaving and the not-so-bright at the helm, gleefully ramming the site into every iceberg that floats by.
