We do indeed share some common philosophies. I have emailed a link to this post to a number of people, one of whom recently asked rhetorically in an email, “Where are our eloquent conservatives?” While “conservative” may not be a fair title for Mark Steyn, the “eloquent” part certainly is.

I fear that we are already far enough down the slippery slope he describes that various secessionist movements may actually gain sufficient strength to divide this country that I too love, and which I have served militarily. I live in a state that has a vocal group arguing that Texas should reject federal mandates and money, and “go it alone.”

Interesting times we live in. And few seem to have the perspective to understand that fact, and appreciate the points made in Mark’s writings.
