The Collapsing of the American Skull

Mark Steyn: But, if I follow correctly, these UCLA profs are arguing that, when some guys go all Allahu Akbar on you and blow up your marathon, that just shows that you lazy complacent Americans need to work even harder...

Tiptoeing On Ever-Thinner Eggshells

Mark Steyn: For younger readers, George Wallace was a powerful segregationist Democrat. Whoa, don't be overly sensitive. There's no "tone" to my use of the word "Democrat"; I don't mean to be humiliating and hurtful: it's just what, in pre-sensitive...

Death To Freedom

Mark Steyn: By contrast, consider Bilal Philips, a Toronto boy who "reverted" to Islam in 1972 and was the keynote speaker at last year's big shindig at the Muslim Council of Calgary. He doesn't want the sodomites expelled from school...

The 'Racist' and the Unknown Man

Mark Steyn: The author Hedegaard is one of the few Danes who is a certified racist, as he some years ago was fined by a High Court for having stated in a blog interview that Muslim fathers rape their children....

Papal Bull

Eight years ago, prior to the election of Pope Benedict, I wrote this. I thought it worthy to print again (though all the links are by now broken). Because, after all, the MSM never tires of recycling their stale arguments....

The Obama Simulacrum

Mark Steyn: If I’m following this correctly, according to one spokesperson for the Marine Corps Band, at Monday’s inauguration Beyoncé lip-synced to the national anthem but the band accompanied her live. However, according to a second spokesperson, it was the...

Trillion Dollar Babies

Mark Steyn: That’s Paul Krugman’s solution for America as it prepares to bust through another laughably named “debt limit”: We’d be a nation that hasn’t a cent in the world but just a trillion-dollar coin — and what more do...

The Royal Presidency

Mark Steyn: In the American republic, even the dogs cost more. The Queen is a famous corgi lover and has been breeding them since she was a young girl. Now in her late 80s she’s slowing down and only keeps...

The Incredible Shrinking President

Mark Steyn: This goes far beyond the instinctive secretiveness to which even democratic governments are prone. The Obama administration created a wholly fictional story line, and devoted its full resources to maintaining it. I understand why Mitt Romney chose not...

Steyn To The Rescue

Of me, that is. Barack, not so much. The Daily Caller: “I’m a believer in elites, and I’m a believer in achievement,” he said. “But the idea that a guy has a million bucks worth of education at Occidental,...

The Real War Is On Children

Mark Steyn: To win the "war on women," the party's general staff are planning their own Normandy invasion, adding to their convention lineup a host of stellar "pro-choice" speakers, including Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria, Planned Parenthood's head honchette Cecile Richards,...

Olympic Spectacle

Mark Steyn: But where was that much-vaunted British sense of irony on opening night? The overhead camera settled on robotic formations of grateful apple-cheeked urchins in a giant children’s ward spelling out the letters N-H-S like a Busby Berkeley chorus...

The Tolerance Enforcers

Mark Steyn: Mayor Menino subsequently backed down and claimed the severed rooster’s head left in Mr. Cathy’s bed was all just a misunderstanding. Yet, when it comes to fighting homophobia on Boston’s Freedom Trail, His Honor is highly selective. As...

Golden Gateway to Dependency

Mark Steyn: If this is the best all the king’s horses and all the king’s men can do to put Humpty Dumpty’s silver-tongued oratory together again, they might as well cut to the chase and argue that accurately quoting President...

Twilight of the West

Just before last week’s Eurovision finale in Azerbaijan, the Daily Mail in London reported that the Spanish entrant, Pastora Soler, had been told to throw the competition “because the cash-strapped country can’t afford to host the lavish event next...

Misty Watercolor Memories

Mark Steyn, writing in Maclean's in 2006 about the new "Canadian" politician, Mikey Ignatieff: I've met him just once, a decade or so back, at a dinner party in London for Canadian expats. He left early, telling me he found...

Learning The Rules Of An Unengaged President

Mark Steyn: Stanley McChrystal is a liberal who voted for Obama and banned Fox News from his HQ TV. Which may at least partly explain how he became the first U.S. general to be lost in combat while giving an...

The Banality Of Evil

Andrew Coyne, editor of Maclean’s, live-blogging the farcical Mark Steyn "trial" by the B.C. HRC: 2:37 PM We’re going through an interview Awan gave on Mike Duffy Live. He tells Duffy that this isn’t a case of free speech versus...

Suddenly, My World Makes No Sense

The noted warmonger Mark Steyn admits all is lost: After valiant efforts by American opinion-makers to blame the bridge collapse on Bush, the war in Iraq and global warming, the truth may defy such glib pigeonholing: Pounded and strained by...
