*sigh*

Truth is often the first sacrifice on the elitist/statist altar of multicultural P.C.

If we must have a foreigner as a president, can’t we have Geert Wilders?

The only bright spot for me is that the Mexicans and other Hispanics are at least Western.

Western culture will survive in part because of that. The US will not.

I know he's not a member of my faith,
but as a civilized man,
I don't think he'd mind
that I'm praying for him.

Geert Wilders is a courageous man, we could use his sort in our own US and Canadian governments.

George, like Murphy, was an optimist. Remembering the past is not enough if you think you are different and superior enough that you can change immutable laws. Kind of like Obama saying, "We are the ones we've been waiting for".

Is Geert Wilders the only one speaking out in Europe or is he the only one that the marxist press writes about?

All over Europe multicultural elites are waging total war against their populations. Their goal is to continue the strategy of mass-immigration, which will ultimately result in an islamic Europe – a Europe without freedom: Eurabia.

I think Wilders has it wrong, here. It would be one thing if the multicultural elites were actually "waging total war." That's something you can get your hands around, and deal with.

I think what's really happening, among the non-Islamic Europeans at any rate, is much more insidious. I think it's more a matter of the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

It's reminiscent of the bad old days of the mid- to late-1930s. Back then, the horrors of WWI weighed so heavily on the minds of the cultural leaders of Europe that they were willing to do anything to avoid a repeat ... and in so doing, they ushered in an even worse war.

This time, I expect that the horrors of Nazi genocide weigh so heavily on the minds of the cultural leaders, that they will do anything to avoid a perceived return to it. A policy of "dealing with Islam" can sound unnervingly close to religious persecuation.... and could very easily turn into persecution. Seeing the danger, Wilders' "multicultural elites" favor and promote an unthinking "inclusiveness" that allows toxic Islamic enclaves to fester and grow essentially outside the prevailing culture.

There's arrogance, too. There's that mindset of liberal paternalism that some people just know better than everybody else. And those folks are, unfortunately, blinded by their own assumptions. In the case of European Islam (as happened also with the Nazis), there is the unwarranted assumption that the Islamic communities are playing by the same rules as everybody else. On an individual basis that is probably true ... but there's those toxic enclaves, within which different rules apply. But the "multicultural leaders" cannot see, much less admit that their assumptions are wrong.

And of course, there's always that rush of power in being a "cultural leader," and the smug satisfaction of being able to prevail against public opinion -- and any good political agitator knows just how to feed and control those sorts of impulses.

So ... what do you do? Free the women. Seriously -- free the women, protect the women, and the rest of that cesspool culture will fall in line.

He’s absolutely right. And the lights are dimming here in the USA too. Those who say the truth are harassed.
