The world is getting smaller I guess.<br /><br />For years I have thought he was born in South Africa. I believe I read it somewhere sometime in the past.

Here's what Wiki says about Steyn'...Waylon,<br /><br />Here's what Wiki says about Steyn's background:<br /><br /><i>"Steyn was born in Toronto. He was baptized a Catholic and later confirmed in the Anglican Church;[3] he has stated that "the last Jewish female in my line was one of my paternal great-grandmothers" and that "both my grandmothers were Catholic".[4] Steyn's great-aunt was artist Stella Steyn.[5] Steyn was educated at the King Edward's School, Birmingham, in the United Kingdom."</i><br /><br />The confirmed he was still a canadian citizen who lives in New Hampshire, USA<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-81773355086503687642012-10-16T20:42:39.651-04:002012-10-16T20:42:39.651-04:00Mark Steyn did live in Canada but I always thought...Mark Steyn did live in Canada but I always thought he was born in South Africa. I think he was living in Montreal before he moved to New Hampshire. He does have a unique accent.<br /><br />I had a bit of a run in with his designated mouth piece on a blog at FPM where the bitch was a contributor to the blog and I was happy enough to leave the place after that. Sort of showed the true colours of the real FPM, I guess. Even the moderator of the blog disappeared and I believe the blog even bowed out, since I could find no trace of it ... good riddance, IMO.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-9901638885200237602012-10-16T20:22:17.692-04:002012-10-16T20:22:17.692-04:00Steyn at one time a few years ago wrote in The Nat...Steyn at one time a few years ago wrote in The National Post when it was started by Conrad Black. I began subscribing to it because I liked Mark Steyn's columns. He also wrote for MacLean's magazine and then got into problems with the politically correct sect and they went after the magazine and Steyn himself. <br /><br />Anyway a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Conrad Black sold his media emporium and did some hard time in the big house in Florida. He's been released and is back in Canada and writes a weekly column for the National Post. But he gave up his Canadian citizenship years ago to be able to accept a royal title in England so he still has to settle some small problems.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-88999900800716478802012-10-16T20:11:45.057-04:002012-10-16T20:11:45.057-04:00Mark Steyn is my FAVORITE political columnist by f...Mark Steyn is my FAVORITE political columnist by far, Waylon. Such a cheery, good-natured guy, even when he's pinning morons to the mat with irrefutabe logic and a rapier wit. ;-)<br /><br />He claims to be a Canadian who was educated in Britain, but now lives in New Hampshire by choice.<br /><br />Has the strangest accent -- sounds more British than anything else, but there seems to be a trace of Australian in there someplace. I can't quite place it, but I love him anyway.<br /><br />There are so few MEN left in the West it's pitiful.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-11267758214663787762012-10-16T19:29:51.323-04:002012-10-16T19:29:51.323-04:00Yeah, Ducky likes American politics, but not as mu...Yeah, Ducky likes American politics, but not as much as he likes politburo politics.<br /><br />Biden has incorporated a strange campaign slogan: “bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.” GM may still be sucking air but the stock ain't what it used to be when the dead breath of the state gave it the Heimlich Maneuver and it puked up all its old debt at the expense of those who invested in it earlier.<br /><br />Bin Laden could possibly be dead. Who has seen the body and why would anybody believe those who said he was killed in that raid. Even Seal Team Six is dead, so dead men can't tell any tales.<br /><br />Mark Steyn has a knack of excoriating the loony left with a sharp wit that is sadly lacking in most leftists. And Steyn resides in the "Live Free or Die" state which says a lot positive about the man.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-84209695265039880472012-10-16T19:27:49.574-04:002012-10-16T19:27:49.574-04:00It's too bad you were never acquainted with Th...It's too bad you were never acquainted with <b>The Tightwad Gazette,</b> Ducks.<br /><br />I think back issues may still be read online.<br /><br />It originated with a woman in Maine who raised something like 28 children on fifty bucks a week and made a success of it.<br /><br />As a people our priorities and sense of values have become so demented and perverted we have completely lost touch with what is and is not important.<br /><br />My maternal grandmother might well have authored such a journal, herself.<br /><br />And I was "statistically poor" much of my life, and always managed to live very well in site of it.<br /><br />Instead of pitying yourself, you treat life like a GAME, and you play to WIN.<br /><br /><b>OUTWIT the DIRTY BASTARDS!</b> was -- and remains my motto.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-30363420288797480592012-10-16T19:11:28.702-04:002012-10-16T19:11:28.702-04:00Delectable Quote Number 4 doesn't bode well fo...Delectable Quote Number 4 doesn't bode well for Hillary.<br /><br />Well, unless she can prove that Obama forced her to do so.
