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.

It is not as bad as you described, but the problem is that the naturally present conservatism has relatively little chance to express itself. What we hope to do is to get ourselves on the map so others will feel encouraged to take some action themselves, too. Personally, I do so by writing for the press. Thanks for your post.

Holland already is conservative with a libertarian bent the dutch have it right let the addicts kill themselves.
