This one is for the archelogists: the best living American writer

I'd like to introduce the people who aren't reading this to someone. Come on, don't be shy.

The greatest writing in America (as of 10 am, Jan 30th, 2009) is a man by the memorable name of Steve Sailer. A resident of LA and former resident of Chicago, almost everything insightful i say or write is borrowed from him in way or another (as is true of most good conservative writers like John Derbyshire). Sailer actually is a polymath and made a good sum of money, putting his empirical super-brain, in the market research field before getting cancer in the 90's and then dedicating his life to writing and shedding the light and illumunating force of his insight upon a arena of enchanted fans such as myself. He knows more than anyone i know of and understands the world in a god like manner inwhich his knowledge is so complete that it gives him clarity & calm rather than the manic pessmism and deppression my comparably tiny amount of knowledge gives me.

But you've never heard of Steve Sailer? Well most people haven't. So i must be pretty weird and cultish to be calling him the greatest American writer if you haven't heard of him write? But trust me he's no L. Ron Hubbard.

Here's Steve Sailer's thing. He attracts the most high-end, intellectual, influential, people in America. David Brooks reads him and so does Malcolm Gladwell though both probably would grudgingly admit it. Both write columns responding to Sailer's attacks cause there too good to ignore ofcourse 80% of there readers hasn't a clue as to who Steve Sailer is.

Steve Sailer is the thinking man's thing man (not Al Gore despite what Newsweek told you). The staff of National Review, any even semi-promient writer on race, genetics, science, ethnicity, diversity, immigration and more has had to reckon with Steve Sailer and his host website Vdare.com founded by Sailer friend and brillant immigration/fincial writer, Peter Brimelow who like Sailer wrote for National Review in it's heyday under the editorship of John O'Sullivan. As the young, ok but less daring, more neoconish, incredibly young, Rich Lowry took over the editorship in the middle years of the aughts, Brimelow and Sailer found themselves on the outs at NR and migrated to there own island, Vdare.com which has steadily become ever honest american's dream website, a site completly devoid of the suffocating sap of poltical correctness and sugar coating that one can't even be free of, at times, at NRO. They have the best blog for immigration, race, diversity, the decline of America related news which makes Vdare.com's blog simply one of thebest blogs going.

But here's the thing about Steve Sailer! Not that many people may know him, but everyone who comes across a Steve Sailer article or review or posting on his brillant blog (isteve.com) is hooked. You keep coming back for more of the straight dope from Steve Sailer and feel lucky, smart, elite, special because you literally found a gem in the pile of dung that is our media class.

And unlike so many writers today, he writers fluidly and cares about catching the reader's attention from the start and keeping it the whole threw. He makes his points dierctly and clearly and doesn't fill his prose up with fat and fluff, no unnescary personal ancedote in the intro, none of that. Which is why Sailer is the only writer i read everyday.

While where on the subject of Steve Sailer, he is the exact opposite of the writer i once thought the king of the hill in the land of prose, Christopher Hitchens. While Hitchens can speak far better in person than Sailer, and is the best liberal writer and has read alot, he is the opposite for a series of reasons 1. Hitchens is a literal master of writing columns that make points that can be summed up in 1 or 2 sentences into 8 paraghs he does so by use of his enclopedia of literary references. 2. Hitchens avoids the great of issues for America time like immigration, etc.(namely because he is a one-worlder interntionalist troskyite who cares not about America)
