Mark Steyn quotes about
rewards principles conservative
The most basic of conservative principles is that if you reward bad behavior you get more of it.
ambition long poverty
Long before they slump into poverty, great powers succumb to a poverty of ambition.
land america levels
America is now a land that rewards failure - at the personal, corporate, and state level.
next camps
Every power grab is the new base camp for the next power grab.
welfare absolutes
Absolute welfare corrupts absolutely.
self government needs
For Al Gore and Paul Ehrlich and Co., whatever the problem, the solution is always the same. Whether it's global cooling, global warming, or overpopulation, we need bigger government, more regulation, higher taxes, and a massive transfer of power from the citizens to some unelected self-perpetuating crisis lobby.
short-life how-short-life-is dies
But a society that has nothing to die for has nothing to live for . . .
republican schwarzenegger social
"Moderate" Republicans such as Arnold Schwarzenegger like to boast that they're fiscal conservatives and social liberals. But the social liberalism always ends up burying the fiscal conservatism.
fading west population
On the Continent and elsewhere in the West, native populations are aging and fading and being supplanted remorselessly by a young Muslim demographic.
self europe culture
Welfare culture is bad not just because, as in Europe, it's bankrupting the state, but because it enfeebles the citizenry, it erodes self-reliance and resourcefulness.
hate cities america
If you look at the range of Hollywood movies playing in most cities in the developing world, you'd hate the America they portray, too.
dog biscuits nobel-peace-prize
Obama's Nobel Peace Prize is an exquisite act of condescension from Norwegians, a dog biscuit and a pat on the head to the American hyperpower for agreeing to spay itself into a hyperpoodle.
world amount beaten
There is no conceivable amount of money worth telling the world that you were beaten up by Liza Minnelli.
party simple community
The rules in this new 'post-partisan' era are pretty simple: If the Democratic Party wants it, it's 'stimulus.' If the Republican Party opposes it, it's 'politics' - as in headlines like this: 'Obama Urges GOP To Keep Politics To A Minimum On Stimulus.' These are serious times: As the president says, it's the worst economic crisis since the Thirties. So politicians need to put politics behind them and immediately lavish $4.19 billion on his community-organizing pals at the highly inventive 'voter registration' group ACORN for 'neighborhood stabilization activities.
