Enfeeblification rampant

Tim Dunlop notes ironically “money well spent”:

The Federal Government forked out $12,000 to help fund right-wing Canadian commentator Mark Steyn’s visit to Australia.

Where else, he asks, could you get insights like this?

I think it’s simply a mistake to argue about whether a war is a mistake. Once you’re in it, I think the best thing to do is to win it.

Well, it seems that it’s now a symptom of the ‘enfeeblement’ of Western civilisation if ‘we’ fail to carry through a mistake to its logical conclusion. The crash-through-or-crash approach, I think it’s called.

As Steyn flagged in his C.D. Kemp lecture to the Institute of Public Affairs back in August, and as ably regurgitated by his panic elf, the Herald Sun’s Paul Gray:

The problem is that Western societies are not breeding at a fast enough rate, while the Muslim countries are breeding many more potential haters.

While Muslim countries and communities grow in size, European societies “will cease to exist in any meaningful sense” if current demographic trends continue, Steyn said.

Take note: human breeding-rates are “a more basic national security issue than what you spend on defence”, he argued.

See, it’s either us or them. Then there’s potential Islamicists in our prisons:

Aboriginal men in prisons are reportedly being converted to radical Islam at a rate causing concern within the prison community.

Consider it: young men in prison, with a background of deprivation and anger, linking up with an ideology that justifies waging serious violence against the society it claims is the cause of all their deprivation.

I call that scarier than snakes on a plane.

The end is nigh, folks, if we don’t reverse the enfeeblification of our glorious Western Civilisation. This must be stopped! Paul Gray’s gotten the message:

Steyn gave numerous important examples of the way affluent Western societies were indulging in self-amusements, which amounted to little more than sterile naval-gazing [sic].

Examples included the push for gay marriage in the West and the question of breeding the next generation.

These are dangerous times. We can’t be walking and chewing gum at the same time. That is to say, we can’t walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk at the same time. I mean to say, we can’t preach freedom and democratic values, and practice freedom and democratic values at the same time.

Doing stuff like that is enfeeblifying.
