America Alone

I was the first person in Cedar Rapids to check out America Alone by Mark Steyn from the public library. I made them dig it out of their back room where it was waiting to be shelved for the first time. It is a very popular book amongst conservatives right now. His understanding of the overall social and political movements at work in the world is very good. The book is a bit depressing, yet witty and funny too. He discusses the dying welfare states, dying liberalism, and the conservatives who will be left to fight Islamofascism on their own. America's friends of the past are dead societies already infiltrated by the enemy. We must stand alone and fight or be conquered siliently through a multicultural acceptance of an intolerant and violent religion. My grandchildren may wake up every morning to a call to prayer towards Mecca. They may be safe on the streets only in Muslim attire. They may be killed for their profession of Christianity. Looking at Europe today we see it isn't so far off here unless our course changes significantly. Mark Steyn's analysis of this worldwide battle for future existence is excellent. Check it out.
