Are Republicans to dumb to be conservative? Everything today has been so spun, twisted, flipped and distorted that it's getting hard to cut through all the sophistry and get at the simple truth and common sense of issues. This is what makes Mark Steyn's new book so welcome and useful. He proceeds from agreed upon facts and simple logic and closes off the detours and the logical meandering and goosenecks employed by the multiculturalists, Malthusians and PC believers to keep us in doubt about our nation and its ideals and our way of life. He's very witty and often overdoes the sarcasm, but he is so perceptive that most of the time he just has to simplify the po-mo narratives of the press and politicians into the basic facts for the reader to see the truth for himself.

And the facts speak for themselves. The Western World has telescoped the decline and fall of the Romans into less than a century. We are depopulating our societies and bringing in immigrants to take up the slack. Societies like those of the E.U. and Canada who can't draw on Mexican Catholics eager to find honest work have instead turned to other sources who are mainly Muslims, and are only now realizing that these immigrants are becoming radicalized and refusing to stay quiet like good minorities should. While the original ethnic groups have birth rates that halve their populations with each generation, the immigrants are growing at much higher rates and will in the foreseeable future become the majority in their host countries. The welfare state is a big Ponzi scheme that can only work as long as there are plenty of new taxpayers coming along to work and fund the system. But the early investors have all got theirs and now the latecomers are realizing that they've been conned.

It could change, but it's not likely without a sudden change of will and some bloody and painful confrontation. It might be that he's wrong, but only if the official statistics he quotes are fraudulent.
