Mark Steyn Speech at CPAC - Part 1 of 5

[Planetar11]

Turth be told, any President of the U.S. who truly loves his country should appoint this guy as a member of his cabinet. Steyn is a walking, talking state of the Union address.

[pittsky]

This man is a genius.

[haim221]

love this man !!!

[pittsky]

I could listen to Mark Steyn all day.

[TheAndrew668]

Mark Steyn should run for Prime Minister of Canada. We might get some common sense in the country! His book "America Alone" should be required reading, great read.

[Endeavour1982]

I think people`s pencions must depend on the number of children they have. No children = small pencion. 2+ children = good pencion. Maybe this will force us to have kids, white kids.

Regards from Russia

[whoo689]

Steyn is way too smart for about 80% of the people who attended and spoke at this conference. Most of them are GOP or Right lackeys who just parrot talking points. Steyn actually thinks for himself.

[50Gut]

As oppossed to Left Wing conferences where speakers and attendees are equally stupid.

[lettersfromaboy]

Steyn for president in '12.

[trpirate]

He's Canadian born ... but eh, Ron Paul wouldn't be bad.

[LoudCitizen]

First undocumented President? Too late.

[bucs2921]

Steyn is GREAT...

His book "America Alone" is a MUST-READ for every Patriot.

[TylerNull]

"

There once was a Kafir named Steyn

Muslims said wrote an offending line

Twas an imam he quoted

Now he's being Swiftboated

But his battle is yours and its mine.

[TruthKamanche]

Muhammad was; A GENOCIDAL MANIAC, A PEDOPHILE, HE KEPT SLAVES, TORTURED PEOPLE, ROBBED MECCAN CARAVANS, CHEATED ON HIS WIVES, ORDERED POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS & THE DEATHS OF THOSE WHO LEFT HIS RELIGION.

A prophet must live a pious life & set a perfect example for human kind. He must never lie, cheat, steal or murder innocents. There is no proof that Muhammad was a prophet, but plenty to say he was EVIL. Watch this video, it contains FACTS from the Quran & Hadith: watch?v=0AVXpCFJfoo

[engalicorn]

Try to stay on topic.

[waaeaa]

say what you like, especially on youtube

you have the right , last time i checked

oh yeah another left wing fascist who pathetically tries to shut up someone coz he doesnt like the message

[kdelaere]

So much for freedom of speech. Please file a report on 'TruthKamanche' with the Alberta, Canada Human Rights Commission Tribunal for the scheduling of a 'fair' hearing.

[jdubya57]

Absolutely brilliant man!

[ONLYthroughTHECROSS]

@jdubya57 YES! And he is from my country - Canada!

Love this guy~ Rush likes him too~ He's right n about

Canada not having lst amendment speech ... his book

was banned because of hate laws ..... I am married

to an American & bought the book - too bad he can't

run for Pres of US not a born American ,,, but then

again neither is the Obamination....

[RustyIronloins]

"... on a dogsled..."

LOL!!!

[owenline]

whoo689...I believe he has American citizenship now, what affects America, affects Canada and the rest of Europe. One could argue that what happens to the smallest country in the West happens to the rest of us in some indirect or even direct way

[AcePilot101]

DEPORT RADICAL MUSLIMS NOW

[inkaput]

Sorry Mark...Bambi beat you to the punch as the first undocumented Potus....really undocumented... no birth cert, no college transcripts, no college grades and so on and so on

[whoo689]

So... is this Mark Steyn guy a Canadian or Canadian-American or what? People keep referring his being Canadian, but then he spends so much time here in the states and writing books like "America Alone" and speaking at CPAC now.

[thelawguy666]

he is naturalized so he is a citizen (cannot run for pres though). fyi, there is a special program in the INA and supporting regs allowing canadians virtually free reign to come into, and stay, in the USA.

[The505Guys]

So...is he Canadian? He sounds English? but he lives in America?

[jeepersfreepers]

Irish dad. Mother from Belgium. Born in Canada. Grew up and educated in England. Canadian, but lives in New Hampshire.

[jsoynbnj]

Like a lot of conservatives, Mark Steyn has a persecution complex. He lives in a fantasy world. He's a ditzy little boy and his words are mostly drivel.

[KafirAlalazoo]

And yet you failed to refute a single point he made.

Instead you prefer to cast aspersions, because it requires less thought, and does not require the tedious inconvenience of actually supporting your claims with facts and logic.

[jeepersfreepers]

Why don't you elaborate on that a tad?  Give us some reasons for your opposition.

[thomaserossi]

His opposition IS his "reason." This is the stance of activism. It purports to question others (note, in a collectivist ideology you ONLY focus your attention toward outsiders, real or perceived) when in actuality it cannot.

Activism is part of an anti-rational tradition. They don't have the faculties to ask a question. Read Closing of the American Mind.

[limersbey]

@jsoynbnj: Projection.

[kaziqbal]

@jsoynbnj

@jsoynbnj

Like a lot of liberals, Obama has a persecution complex. He lives in a fantasy world. He's a ditzy little boy and his words are mostly drivel.

see how calling names doesn't get at any arguments and makes you sound like an idiot?

[uknowimrightaboutit]

@jsoynbnj really? which conservatives are those and exactly what does this persecution complex consist of? What part of his assertions - apart from the jokes - is fantasy?

[DabneyFountain]

@jsoynbnj Ahh....so you are a liberal (one who has no argument when it comes to issues; but, rather, is practiced in personal attacks that not only are irrelevant but also are indicative of intellectual sloth.)

[DabneyFountain]

@jsoynbnj Typical liberal knee-jerk response (rather than argument based on issues, you are practiced in irrelevant personal attack that adds no value.)

[pretorious700]

@jsoynbnj you sound like an expert on drivel

[dazenman11]

Excellent in all respects.

[berkin1014]

Mark Steyn has a great book, America Alone... good read with insightful witty observations! I recommended reading it especially for those who are concerned about the what Islamist extremists and hoodlums are waging in Europe and Canada!

[NWesterner]

It's a shame he's not American born--he might make a fine president.

[gabbagabba77]

just wanned to write "Steyn for president" ... but I guess you are right ^_^

[canadianna21206]

he def would ! ... iam happy that he is Canadian...i hope he runs for the leadership of the conservative party of Canada and become PM !

[Melikethecake]

Could the British steal him for a couple of years first, please!!!!

[jeepersfreepers]

It didn't stop Obama.

[logansGT]

Way to go, Mark. The dhimmi Canadian Human Rights Commission are moronic tools and Islam is evil. Resist the primitive Islamofascists!

Btw.....Pamela is HOT (*_~)

[CNC295]

Islam, the religion that keeps an entire people living in mud huts, walking on dirt trails, and living in ignorance at the hand of God. Sounds good, sign me up.

[poop121]

Don't fool yourself. Most organized religions are bullshit and keep people subjugated.

[richter75]

Well, every religion does the same thing; that is let ppl live in ignorance. I ofcourse do the same thing sometimes as all my fellow humans, but hiding under religion is like hiding your head under a clowns hat for everyone to see..

[KafirAlalazoo]

Really? Is that so?

Tell me please - aside from Islam, specifically which other religions routinely use children as delivery systems for explosives? Which ones use schools, places of worship and the media to openly advocate the extermination of an entire nation? Which other religions totally dominate women and practice female genital mutilation? Which religions riot, threaten and kill people over cartoons or "bad press"? And which others have been invoked while flying airliners into buildings?

[NeoConCanuck]

Fuck YA!

[peacechild61]

GREAT REPLY, KafirAlalazoo

[mjn76]

"Those morons who tried to get this guy sued for his bit in McLeans were destroyed, and their organization is a laughing stock. Plus they pissed off the entire Canadian nation that pays attention to media, which is a good number. Dhimmitude in Canada? I think not!"

I hope Canada quickly realizes that a government which gives can equally take away and deny. Canadians must start turning away from government to solve its problems.

[bigalisme]

Those morons who tried to get this guy sued for his bit in McLeans were destroyed, and their organization is a laughing stock. Plus they pissed off the entire Canadian nation that pays attention to media, which is a good number. Dhimmitude in Canada? I think not!

[hvetebroed]

Bravo, Mr. Steyn. My heart rejoiceth. Keep it coming!

[wilfredsnipple]

"Radical Islam"? Is there any other type of Islam?LOL. With this sort of rhetoric we have become enablers of jihad. We would object to foreign occupation directed at us but at the same time support this ideology of foreign intervention/occupation for our own interest and blame it on others religion if they don't agree with our policies. The people supporting terrorist action originally started as a small minority of Islam. The terrorist responsible for 911 cited occupation as their motivation.

[bigalisme]

Essentially, there are peaceful muslims, but no peaceful Islam.

[azsunrise7]

ok thanks for the clarification, i'll refrain from mentioning the topic again.

[azsunrise7]

i don't understand why i am receiving neg regs for asking about iraq war. my question was genuine and w/out malice. thanks.

[KafirAlalazoo]

I can't speak for others, and I did not rate your comment.

However, I will say that your "innocent" question opens a can of worms ANY time a conservative attempts to discuss the issue with a liberal.

As you've described yourself as a "moderate Democrat" (as if they EVER describe themselves another way), I can understand why people's hackles are raised by your 'nonchalant' question.

Finally, there are a million videos devoted to Iraq, so why choose THIS video for your question?

[1998disco72]

Muslim human rights council? I am suprised that people are not laughing?

[azsunrise7]

so i'd like to ask staunch conservatives a question please, what do you make of the iraq war?

[1998disco72]

I love how you throw that one out.

[NeoConCanuck]

People usually only state the WMD case for Casus belli. So..

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

[NeoConCanuck]

In Case you say that was 10 years ago....

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

[wormyyea]

dang dude i never knew she said that. i hate her.

but its ok. people on the left are never held accountable for anything they do or say.

[NeoConCanuck]

To quote Admiral Ackbar(don't think he was a muslim) "Its a TRAP!"

[thomaserossi]

LOL - awesome!!!

[azsunrise7]

i would just like to say that this moderate democrat listened to all 5 parts of mark steyn's speech , and other than the health care issue, i agreed on almost every single thing. well except maybe the go green thingy too.

i am putting it on my favs.

[1998disco72]

Univeral health care will never work when we have 2 million illegal immigrants a year. It will bankrupt this country.

[KafirAlalazoo]

With a Democrat in the white house, I believe you are thinking too small.

First, there are the 12-20 million illegals already here.

Then you add the ones who are already crossing daily.

Then you add the massive influx of additional immigrants when word of a possible amnesty spreads.

THEN you add all of the families of these people, once an amnesty (aka 'guest worker' program) is installed.

[TylerNull]

Mark Steyn is the first one I've heard articulate the impetus for W. Europe's slouch toward dhimmitude. Demographics -- the need to feed their entitlement programs.

Just as the socialist cesspools of Europe aggressively import Muslim breeders the US does so with Mexicans, as it embraces socialism. The indigenous populations aren't breeding. Oddly, Conservatives still scratch their heads when their politicians refuse to stop it.

The trend is assured.

[twanablevins]

Excellent - great speaker on truths
