I live in Den Haag
I know mayor Deetman
I can assure you it is NOT on the agenda
Deetman is a known islam apologist.

Then why do the Dutch elect such creeps??

Then why do the Dutch elect such creeps??

we don't, we don't elect mayors around here, they are appointed by the queen (who is also a notorious islam apoligist). Then you would say, change the system, easier said than done, the regents have closed off many an avenue here.

I actually was going to say something about McGreevy or Teddy K or Boxer and how we shouldn't throw stones BUT I clicked on and saw you were from CANADA.

You know there are Dutch troops in Iraq, unlike some (cough cough) other countries.

At least in part, the answer is: Many of the God-fearing, rural Dutch farmers emmigrated to the United States to escape war-torn Europe in the 40's and 50's.
