Progressivism and Mark Steyn

While doing preliminary prep to write this post, it was intended to be on a couple of articles by Mark Steyn, my mind wandered (could it be ADD?) when I stumbled across a link to this article in the Nation, a marxist rag which was founded in 1865.
This was during the genesis of the "progressive era" in the United States.
Anyhow, as you can see the author of the article is bemoaning the fact that what we know as Western Europe is "lurching" to the right.
While I would not characterize it so much as a lurch, there were definite signs of a refreshing tilt to the right in recent elections in France, Italy and Germany. Gains were also made in the Netherlands where Geert Wilders, an anti-Islamist polled 17 percent of the vote.
Mr. Wilders was denied entry into England in February of this year. He had been invited by the House of Lords to present his movie Fitna.
Wilders has warned repeatedly of the western Europeans ceding their sovereignty to the Islamic infiltrators. Wilders was in the forefront of people who were willing to speak out on the dangers to western civilization raised by Islamofascist.
Now, back to my original topic: Mark Steyn:
For those of you who are not familiar with Mark Steyn
Mark Steyn has been at the forefront of warning the western world of the potential results if radical Islamofascism is allowed to progress unchallenged. Lights Out on Liberty and Live Free or Die !!
