By the way, beyond his stance on Islam, Wilders supports substantial tax cuts, a smaller, de-centralized government, less EU control over the Netherlands, and a very tough stance on crime. I’ve even seen a video clip of him making fun of global warming and comparing his Dutch opposition to Al Gore. The only things that he supports that could be construed as liberal are increased government support for the elderly and animal rights (however, even these are tied in with immigration, as he seems to mainly oppose Islamic halal slaughter of animals as inhumane and he has on many occasions complained about retirees' pensions going to fund young immigrants on welfare). He has also called for tighter regulation of marijuana usage in Dutch “coffeehouses.” The Dutch press often refers to him as a “populist,” because he constantly attacks the Dutch elites who are forcing Islamization on the people without their consent. Overall, I think that Wilders is someone whom most American conservatives could easily support.
I agree with you that Wilders is getting a bum rap and conservatives everywhere need to come to his defense. In terms of new coverage, Fox is about ratings and fairness.
This story simply is not a ratings getter. Quite frankly, Americans are more concerned with what is going on here than elsewhere (no opinion offered if this is good or bad -- simply a stmt of fact). Furthermore, the healthcare reform and the crap going on under the supervision and direction of der Fuhrer is of major concern to Fox viewers.
Personally I am far more concerned about what is going on by our government and what it is doing to its people at the current moment. I support Wilders, but I feel like I am in a major fight for my own rights.
All of the ‘TV’ media are useless.
All we have left is the internet, at least for as long as they allow us to keep it....
With that the government has done, and is looking to do, we could be approaching an ‘end game’ situation.
FOX has turned on all of us. At one time, it was always on at my house. I stopped watching it two weeks ago. They just piss me off these days and I don’t “do” propaganda. They’ve all become Obamanoids.
Fox = Saudi Arabian owners.
Prince Alwaleed (dirty Saudi) seems to be calling the shots at Fox. He can probably veto any story he wants, especially anything critical of the dirty moslems and their throat-slashing over the past 1400 years.
Fox will lose audience with their Saudi kowtowing. Omoslem bowed to the Saudis, and now Fox is in bed with Saudis.
Bad move, Fox.
Lie down with moslems, get up with fleas, hepatitis, stinky smell and no head.
