Support for VFR’s criticisms of mainstream conservatives
The Dutch blogger who names himself after the famous Dutch scholar of Islam, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, writes:
Keep on badgering Hanson and especially Steyn. You clearly and concisely show what is wrong with those “conservatives.” It is true that these people may have a function, but there will not be a better Steyn until someone takes them apart.LA replies:
I very much appreciate your saying this. Sometimes I feel (and some readers definitely feel) that I overdo my criticisms of the conservatives, and that I am at risk of sounding like a broken record. But the reality is that the phenomenon of liberal mainstream conservatives, who seem to be defending the West but are not really doing so, is as important as any other issue we face, and, since this issue is naturally ignored both by the left and by the mainstream right, it is up to people like me to point these things out.
