The Dutch Elections on March 15,2017: Last Chance for the Netherlands?

National Review ^ | 03/14/2017 | Bruce Bawer

You’re right. It won’t be a surprise if Wilders wins, but how could he assemble a coalition?

He would be the best thing that could happen to those fools.

[Ohioan]

You are 55 or more years late in your recognition of the problem. At least from the launching of the UN in '45 /'46, those susceptible to the fantasy of human interchangeability, have been in basic denial of the fact that none of us are alike; that the nations of the earth represent a wealth of diversity, indeed, but true diversity. We are not interchangeable; and for nations to ignore the reality of their unique natures in their immigration policies, is lunacy.

I am not suggesting that no one be allowed in, who is not a perfect fit. Of course not. But for the Netherlands or America to simply ignore their respective heritages, in allowing in large numbers of those who have no intention or likelihood of assimilating into a multi-generational culture of high achievement, is indefensible in reason.

It is not just a Christian & Moslem thing--not at all. It involves historically verifiable premises, which but for the lunacy of "political correctness," would be self-evident. (Just as to Thomas Jefferson, when he justified the Louisiana Purchase as creating a buffer between Anglo & Hispanic culture. Was he right or wrong? Perhaps one should look to what has been happening in many communities in America today, before one answers.

What was evident in logic in 1803, was just as evident in logic in 1965, when Teddy Kennedy & LBJ turned our immigration policy upside down, but Jefferson's political party had by then severed its connection with anything logical.)

Will the Almighty intervene to spare us, when we deliberately fail to employ the reasoning ability with which we are Blessed? Should He?

Tonight I will pray for the Netherlands. They too have a history that should inspire. If it has ceased to have an influence, they will deserve what follows.

Muslims get away with what they are allowed to get away with.
Not the same as invincibility.

This is not Holland but America, where Muslims face the equivalent of a rifle behind every blade of grass. Assertion of Muslim “privilege” here will result in shots fired and the cutting of flesh.

[Sam Gamgee]

Essentially multiculturalism had/has us working to deny and demonize what our societies are built on? There is left a void that Islam fills?

[Ohioan]

What is left is chaos. Nothing can replace a cultural heritage developed by a people striving for a better future, generation by generation; developing by addition a growing body of achievement both spiritual and material. What is being lost took many centuries to put in place. It is not likely to be put back together from the ash heap of betrayal. (Of course what man has created, man can create again. The problem is complicated however, by a lost perception of what has in fact been abandoned--and other impediments that flow from urbanization.)

People slowly but surely build a cultural heritage. That heritage reflects the personalities that created it, striving interactively apart & together, to fulfill their highest aspirations.

.
And where every muzzie has a rifle, too. Why have a civil war when we can prevent it by not allowing muzzies into the country in the first place?
I guess that you would rather die a hero. As someone who spent his very young life in a concentration camp, life is very precious to me — I have no need for heroics.

[Impy]

Unfortunately, Wilders has a zero% chance of being Prime Minister even if his party comes in first.

I do not like proportional representation.

[elcid1970]

“And where every muzzie has a rifle, too.”

Really? Right here in America? And as less than 1% of the population, are muzzies ready to surge forth and battle the armed “infidel” majority, toe-to-toe? Let’s bring it! Where will we bury them all?

By the way, are you a survivor of Shoah? Your attitude as you express it would have IMO done little to help establish the Yishuv or to sustain the survival & thriving of Eretz Israel. The living owe an inestimable debt to the heroic dead.

What time EDST do the polls close?

[FreedomPoster]

I stopped for gas in Murfreesboro a few months ago. There was a late model expensive full size (enormous) SUV at the next island full of Muslims, 2-3 men, 2-3 women, 2-3 kids. All wearing man-dresses and full veiled headgear for the women.

I’ve been transiting Middle TN for 4 decades, this was new.

[gasport]

Dutch polls close 9:00 PM local (4:00 PM EDST).

[Netz]

In 1987 I warned Dutch “Volunteers” at an Israeli kibbutz that they’d better be on the alert from Islam in Holland, that one day Islam would try to destroy their civilization and they all laughed at me...
