Geert Wilders, Dutch Far-Right Leader, Is Convicted of Inciting Discrimination
The New York Slime ^ | December 9, 2016 | NINA SIEGAL

Geert Wilders, the far-right politician who is seen as a likely contender to become prime minister when Dutch voters go to the polls next year, was convicted on Friday of inciting discrimination and of insulting a group for saying that the Netherlands would be safer with fewer Moroccans.

...

The effect of the verdict on Mr. Wilders and on his party’s chances when the Dutch elections are held in March is unclear, but the trial seems to have improved his party’s standing, rather than diminishing it, among voters.

If the Party for Freedom wins the most seats in the elections, Mr. Wilders could become prime minister, and he would then have to form a coalition government with other willing parties.

I wonder what kind of power a Prime Minister has in Netherlands?

Fascism in the land of tulips and windmills.

His party won’t win an outright majority.

Netherlands looks set to have another coalition or a minority government.

Geert Wilders’ conviction in the Dutch courts will only make him that much more the martyr and righteous warrior. Convicted for what? For having an unpopular opinion? If Geert is somehow elected to be Prime Minister, he will have to govern by laptop or skype until his safety can be better assured.

I like that one of his popular slogans is now ‘Make the Netherlands Great Again!’, Every patriot knows what that slogan means. It means pride and independence of thought and of deed. It does not mean lying prostrate, mute and neutered while those who hate you walk all over you and disrespect your home or your culture.

Well, this was the original land of one of modern times first consumer craze; Tulipmania. It was as bad as Gold Fever in California.

Europe is in the act of committing suicide. I hope they change course and recover, but I think the left has them in a strangle hold.

Europe is past that point already.

The Islamization in much of Scandinavia, Germany, France, and other nations is almost complete. Just give it a few more years and the stinking Muslims will have a bigger Empire than the Ottomans once did; unfortunately, unless something VERY drastic happens over there.

In the possible civil war, the left’s muslim assasins may not be the only ones eliminated. Everyone knows it was the left that did this so it may take them out too.

Perhaps; however, after all of the men lost in both World Wars, the spread of Communism/Socialism throughout ALL of Europe, I wonder if there are enough people left, to fight back now.

What with abortion, it being too expensive to have more than 1 or 2 children, the birth rates between the MUSLIM INVADERS and those of the actual native population is on the side of the damned Muslims.

If Wilders wins, he can truly look in the mirror and say
“Pardon me! OK! I do!

Drugs and liberalism/socialism have destroyed what was once a sane, likeable country.

And, if I am not mistaken, the Dutch were also the first country to hold democratic elections, be ruled by a "constitutional" monarch and practice freedom of religion.

There was a reason why the Pilgrims migrated to Holland first, before they came to America.

Yet, today the Dutch people are having to fight their government in order to keep their culture from being destroyed by immigrants who refuse to assimilate.

#4. Wilders should change his slogan to “Make the Netherlands a Free Speech Zone”.

The humane thing would be to deport all of them. Unfortunately I think it would take something more extreme like turning their religion around on them and prosecuting them for hate crimes due to their religion. And it may be vigilante prosecutions if the leftist governments won’t do anything. My hope is that the leftist government PC elitists get paid back in full for what they have inflicted on their countries. Then the citizens can start getting rid of vermin.

Many have been born there so can't be repatriated and more keep on coming in.

The stupid Dutch are too afraid of being called nasty names/too brainwashed and the elites/pols...well they're the same the world over.

Do you have to let their children kill you? To be PC you do, but what percentage does not buy into the PC crap?

Also, for the politicians, perhaps the solution would be to tape bacon around their necks and drop them off in a muslim forbidden zone. They would be done in by their own PC, how great is that?

Actually, only one World War. Strange but true: The Netherlands was neutral in WW I.
