Sweeping generalisations
Den Beste gives his views on Europe"That's not a characterization of Europeans I recognize. I would suggest instead the word effete, for which my dictionary offers three meanings:
1. decadent: characterized by decadence, overrefinement, or overindulgence
2. weak: lacking or having lost the strength or ability to get things done
3. barren: no longer able to reproduce"
This man is considered -- by Kevin Drum no less - as one of the six most read right-wing weblogs. What's particularly amusing, or ironic, is the post is in response to an article in the Telegraph by Adam Nicholson which notes that American media commentators talk about Europe like people used to talk about countries they were at war with.
