Mark Steyn: ‘You, sir, are a fool…’

His response to a Dutch correspondent:

Do you even understand the weak brew of your response? Yes, I’m sure it would be much nicer if we could have all our discussions with “civility and respect” – but are you seriously arguing that insufficient civility and lack of respect is justification for prosecution? Do you have any idea of the unlimited power you’re according the state if you go down that path? And are you unaware that in every tyranny – including those in your own backyard from the day before yesterday – insufficient “respect” for the ruling ideology has always been the justification for political prosecution?
