European Conservatives Join ForcesPosted on Jan 25, 2008Four far-right European political parties have allied with each other, hoping to form a European Union umbrella party opposed to “Islamization” and immigration. Europeans, you see, will never give up their welfare states, so conservatives there spend much of their time bashing immigrants. Unlike America, where xenophobia is, though popular, something of a passing fancy.

Lodipete, the poster used the word “mostly,” not a minority. Where is the proof? The poster made Muslims in Europe sound like a bunch of U.S.-backed Zionist ethnic cleansers.

“But left-wingers should oppose the immigrants for entirely different reasons, because they are mostly religious fundamentalists who will impose a nightmarish theocracy”

Bill Maher said it best: Don’t be so tolerant that you are even tolerant of intolerance.
With the issue of Muslim immigrants in Europe, it has become all muddled as far as who is right-wing and who is left-wing.
Lower middle class right wingers (Archie Bunker types, for those old enough to remember “All in the Family”) oppose the immigrants for their usual reasons, because they are xenophobic and hate the poor. They vote for rich right-wing politicians who use bait-and-switch, who imply that they will redistribute wealth from the poor to the middle class by ending welfare. Instead, they redistribute wealth from both the poor and middle class to the rich, but those stupid Archie Bunker types never seem to catch on.
But left-wingers should oppose the immigrants for entirely different reasons, because they are mostly religious fundamentalists who will impose a nightmarish theocracy when, due to their high birthrate, they eventually become a majority of voters. That will happen just decades from now in France, the country in most danger.
Instead, stupid left-wing politicians act politically correct, confusing religious ideology with ethnicity, and lose elections. Some left-wing voters, with no better choice, vote for those right-wing politicians, because they’re the only ones opposing the immigrants, even if for the wrong reasons. And then those right-wing politicians impose their right-wing economic policies on everyone, not just on those immigrants.

A european conservative like the one murdered in Holland usually stands for things like Gay rights,women’s rights, free press, freedom of thought and lots of other nasty “conservative” things. That’s why one of Allah’s warriors murdered him. Leave it to the BBC to come up with this politically correct trash.

Immigrants are used to undermine welfare states. That’s the idea.
