The True Bullies

Mark Steyn says it’s time to stand up to them. Well, he showed how it’s done in Canada.

[Mid-morning update]

Don’t retreat an inch in the culture war:

I’ve built much of my career around free-speech litigation. I’ve championed mostly the rights of conservatives, but during my tenure as president of FIRE I also worked on a strictly nonpartisan basis — protecting left and right. By my rough estimate, I’ve personally worked on well over 200 free-speech cases and public controversies. And here’s what I’ve found:

When it comes to law, we almost never lose. When it comes to the culture, we rarely win.

Conservatives — especially conservative Christians — used to treat the boos and the jeers with shock and dismay. Today — especially for the young — there is less shock and more assimilation.

Social pressure can be even more powerful than laws.

  1. No punches pulled there. I admire Steyn for a lot of reasons.

    Added to that, now, is the fact that he will tell the “money” exactly what he thinks.

  2. “Well, actually Jack Fowler is “the money,” and Fowler agrees with him, not Steorts.”

    My mistake…I mistook “editor” for “In charge”
