Depriving old folks of medicine, starving school children, poisoning the water, etc.
Sound familiar?
Of course, this being Holland, he'll be released from jail, with apologies, after about six months.
Just another disgusting example of media distortion.
I suspect that meat will soon be a "dietary staple" for him.
I am working on a piece that incorporates this story--because it is for the moment the most compelling example of what the battle in the West today is really all about. The first draft contains these paragraphs:
You are merely beginning to see method in the madness of our enemies.
The next example was highlighted on May 7th, when Pim Fortuyn, a 53 year old Maverick who had become a major force on the Dutch political scene, was shot dead as he left a broadcast studio in a small city near Amsterdam, by a Dutch Leftist. Fortuyn, himself a reformed Leftist, had become something of a classic Liberal; but had come to see the huge and growing immigrant population of the Netherlands as incongruous to the preservation of the extremely tolerant Dutch Society in which he believed. (He was actually an acknowledged Homosexual.) Raising a cry to do something with the social rot that he saw in his home city, Rotterdam, he organized his own political party, and captured the largest share of the Municipal vote. He died as he was leading his new party towards an expectedly strong showing in the coming Dutch National election, May 15th.
Although part of Fortuyn's motivation was a desire to preserve some of the most liberal values that have evolved in modern Dutch society, he was subjected to the same hysterical labels of vilification as Le Pen. When you sift through the various issues, what emerges is that the mechanism that triggers such frenzy on the Left is for one to challenge permissive immigration policies. The one thing they cannot abide, is for a political group to recognize the fact that who settles in a country will determine the type of society that that country will have. It is this common sense differentiation that apparently threatens the entire Socialist world view. And well it might. For in that realization is the ultimate truth, that we are all different; that there is nothing wrong with people acting to preserve those characteristics that make their particular group, unique; that there is nothing wrong with people preferring their own way, rather than the Left's way.
The hideous murder of one for simply challenging the true bigots of our time--the advocates of a forced egalitarianism, that denies human reality, and stultifies the creativity that comes from the very diversity they would destroy--should prove an eye opener for the bemused spectators of the West's decline, all over the world. Will it make that much of a difference? Only time will tell. While most Conservatives will condemn Pim Fortuyn's personal living habits, he did not deserve to die in this manner. And it would be wrong not to seek to vindicate the good that was apparently still within him, by using the resulting lesson from his brief emergence on the previously pitiful Dutch political landscape, to the end that he not have died in vain.
[Please note, that we are not suggesting that how the Dutch vote is any business of anyone not subject to the Dutch Monarchy. But debates in one country, naturally stir interest in the same issues, among kindred peoples. And intellectual lessons in the pursuit of truth, know no borders.]
