Good, well reasoned post, quidnunc.

Hanson:   "I can understand a shocked public acting on emotion rather than reason."

And just like when the doctor tests your reactions with that little rubber hammer on your knee, this spontaneous reaction by the Spanish speaks volumes about the soulless decadence that exists in their heart of hearts. It is not unreasonable to extrapolate the Spanish reaction to all of Europe (or as is common here on FR, Eurabia).

Tolik...Many thanks for the link to Benadorassociates and VDH: The Right way to farm the Classics". BTW that's quite a power group at Benador!

So we are not confronted with Stalinists, hard-core Marxists, or fifth-columnists as much as those afflicted with the "Western disease"-a sort of glib self-hatred of the very society that imparts such freedom and affluence.

Thats exactly it, a form of death-wish or something. I have difficulty in quantifying it, or even qualifying it. Isn't there some Freudian term for this? Something German sounding would be nice (Shadenfreude is such a mahvelous word).
