Mark Steyn: ‘I am sorry my editor at NR does not grasp the stakes’

Indeed, he seems inclined to “normalize” what GLAAD is doing.
But, if he truly finds my “derogatory language” offensive, I’d rather he just indefinitely suspend me than twist himself into a soggy pretzel of ambivalent inertia trying to avoid the central point – that a society where lives are ruined over an aside because some identity-group don decides it must be so is ugly and profoundly illiberal. As to his kind but belated and conditional pledge to join me on the barricades, I had enough of that level of passionate support up in Canada to know that, when the call to arms comes, there will always be some “derogatory” or “puerile” expression that it will be more important to tut over. So thanks for the offer, but I don’t think you’d be much use, would you? - - Re-Education Camp | National Review Online

Your Say

Steyn is one of today's finest essayists and brightest commentators. Sadly, he seems to be getting the full Derbyshire at NRO.

Those running the NR have been inside the beltway so long they have no idea what a conservative thinks. The Potomac review would be a better handle....or maybe the Potomac rino review. PRR would sound more like their inability to get their shit going...like an old Chevy.

NR = Noonanitis .

They want to be liked by the cool kids.

The very best people leave NR voluntarily or are forced out. It has been thirty years at least since it was a right-wing magazine. Conquest's rule applies.

I just let my NR subscription lapse.

Yes, I cancelled my own damn subscription.

It's just not been fun since WFB left.

NR seems to be the proof that even an organization specifically right-wing will eventually become left-wing.
