There are some Dutch conservatives on this site, I noticed. Hopefully you will find this in formation helpful. For all other conservatives here, if any of you here have comments or ideas about cooperation please contact me via e-mail. I am involved with the Burke Foundation and want to make it a success. We have only just started and need as many good ideas and people as possible to firmly place ourselves on the map. Not all is lost and things are changing, also in the Netherlands. Any comments or help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Bump. Great news.
Historically, the Holland of old was a stronghold of Calvinistic Reformation thought.
Formerly controlled by Spain, the Dutch suffered much persecution at the hands of the Roman Catholic Church for their uncompromising Protestant faith.
The Dutch also sent out missionaries around the world. Their influence is still felt in this country, as well.
As recently as 1967, Holland defied Arab international opinion by openly siding with Israel in her struggle for survival.
Of late, however, Holland has stood for drugs, homosexuality, euthanasia, and general immorality -- in short, a real human cesspool.

I'm arriving in Amsterdam on Friday. It's nice to know that there are some people there, that think as I do.

I wish these Dutch well. The Netherlands once had one of the strongest Catholic communities, which totally collapsed after Vatican II. The Netherlands, as much as anywhere, needs strong pro-life voices to be part of the public square.
