Fortuyn Party Soars in Polls

Why should I feel compelled to "show you" anything?...because you say so? That's funny, but not as funny as statements like this one....

Even African-Americans -- despite their troublesome assimilation and ongoing difficulties -- have shown themselves to be a net-positive to our country.

Nope Laz, I'll enjoy watching you work down your list of who can come in, and who can't, and watch to see if you grant a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" to hispanics and swedish Au Pairs.

[Dark Wing]

A populist upwelling ping!

[Omedalus]

Word! I believe the term of approval here is, "Bump"? I'm new here.. Teach me your ways! :)

[NormsRevenge]

Support for the party of anti-immigration politician Pim Fortuyn has been increasing since his murder a week ago, a Dutch opinion poll has suggested.

Politics is a strange bidness...

[ffusco]

No disrespect to our good friends and Nato ally, Turkey was expressed or implied. The crux of my argument is still valid. The USA is a Judeo/Christian/European construction for the most part. Deal with it.

[wheezer]

Politics is a strange bidness...

Yup...and even more so when living in "interesting times".

[Phillip Augustus]

In fact, while I have nothing against Turks or Turkey, I see no reason why the Netherlands, for example, is obliged to become Turkey West. There is a Turkey, and it is a big place. Turkey for the Turks and Holland for the Dutch.

Translation: "I, wheezer, fold."

Nope Laz, I'll enjoy watching you work down your list of who can come in, and who can't, and watch to see if you grant a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" to hispanics and swedish Au Pairs.

Hispanics? Wonderful and industrious people, rich culture. Admitted.

Swiss? Inventive, mechanically brilliant. Admitted.

Still waiting for you to show me exceptions to my rule.

[wheezer]

Translation: "I, wheezer, fold."

Your not very good at translation, Laz.

I think it pretty clearly translates as "I, wheezer, am not at your service".

[justshutupandtakeit]

It should be noted that the only reason the Turks might be and exception to the Lazamataz Law is that Ataturk made sure that Islame had no influence in Turkish politics.

If you know any Swedish au pairs who would like to care for a 56 yr. old let me know.:>)

[Lazamataz]

Your not very good at translation, Laz. I think it pretty clearly translates as "I, wheezer, am not at your service".

You would kill a man to be able to prove me wrong. The sole reason you do not, is because you cannot.

[Lazamataz]

It should be noted that the only reason the Turks might be and exception to the Lazamataz Law is that Ataturk made sure that Islame had no influence in Turkish politics.

Well there you go. Iran also had made great strides towards a secular society, and might have once been thought of more kindly. They still are the most cosmopolitan and modern of the Islamic states, as is -- believe it or not -- Iraq.

If Iraq got rid of the chain around it's neck, Saddam Hussien, the country would explode with prosperity, since they are not a strongly fundamentalist Islamic country.

Islam in general and Wahibbism in particular, is one of the few religions in the world that preaches backwardness and lack of modernity as a virtue. There are a few other races and religions that do so -- Amish spring to mind -- but no other race or religion that embraces backwardsness proactively attempts to forcefully convert other nations and religions to its Medieval way.

If you know any Swedish au pairs who would like to care for a 56 yr. old let me know.:>)

I get first dibs. :o)

[wheezer]

You would kill a man to be able to prove me wrong.

You're flattering yourself a bit too much.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I think I heard a shot go past your ear.

[aristeides]

And Frank Poortuyes, of De Volkskrant newspaper, said the left was "taking a hammering" partly because some voters held it responsible for demonising Mr Fortuyn, thereby playing a role in his murder.

And isn't De Volkskrant a leftist paper, so that it would only report this if it was impossible to avoid reporting it?

[ecomcon]

Lazamataz's Law: C= 1/I

An nation's civility is measured according to the inverse of the presence of Islam.

C=Civility
I=Islam

[ecomcon]

De Volkskrant

That's a funny name.

[knighthawk]

And now people also dare to say they vote Fortuyn. When he was still being demonized many people never told others they would vote Fortuyn.

[knighthawk]

I will. I will start one between I get home from work and head to the voting boot. When I get home (it could be very busy at the voting boot) I will keep you informed. The definate numbers will be announced after 21.00 local time.
