Dutch Rightists Score in ElectionsPosted on Jun 5, 2009
Exit polls show the notoriously anti-immigrant Dutch politician Geert Wilders gaining 15 percent of the vote and second place in elections for the European Parliament in the Netherlands—even as he faces prosecution on charges of inciting hatred in his speeches.

You must be joking. I can’t stand Rush. If you’re not trolling, your post is an excellent demonstration of my point.

Also the country in general has been becoming more ‘conservative’ even to closing down the legal sex trade and restricting open other drug use. A bad situation made worse by the typical dangerous ideas of the Police State. “Law and Order” it goes under. Just look at the USA and Mexico to see the final outcome of the very selective “Drug War” which is a war against you and me!
The Nederlands certainly can crack down on crime can’t they? Hire more police and make sure they can discern between who the law abiding and the criminals are regardless of their nationality or religion. Can’t that be done Johannes?

I’ve been seeing plenty of bullshit racism on Truthdig of late from our dear friend Johannes (who seems to live in crippling fear blacks, Muslims and Jews).
So it’s little wonder that he posts here (along with ball-licking Rush worshiping-Jason!) defending a right-wing pig.

The Dutch are not very interested in Europe.
Only 41% of the people who have the right to vote, have voted, from this 41% a good 15% voted for the party of Geert Wilders, so after this vote he is the second party of the Netherlands.
From the 16 millioen people living in the Netherlands, its indeed 800 000 who are Moslim, thats about 600 000 to much, why, they dont work, have the rabbit thinking lots of children, for every child they get money, by about 10 children you can start, to build a house in your home country,and to rent it out, they don’t integrate, in Europe they are even more Moslim than in their home country.
We have an about 1 500 000, illegale people living in the Netherlands, our frontiers are wide open, so they come in and go out, killing and robbing on their way.
We have differend other etnics living in Holland,
Jews, Cops, only in the portcity of Rotterdam their are living more as 30 differend Etnics, so the problem is theirs, we never had so much antisemitisme as now, they dont respect other thinking.
People are not feeling happy in some places, old people are afraid to go on the street in the evening, they have killed one of our filmmakers, Theo van Gogh, in the middle of the street cut his troath, they kill their own girls if they don’t marrie the men the famelie has chosen, mostley elder men, no the must go back to the middle ages in their own countrys.
The point is they don’t like us, most hate the Europeên people, but they need us for the money not for us or our culture and way of thinking, thats so we think NOW after years of deception, that the Moslims who don’t want to live with us must go home.
Its nice you have an degré from an university, well I am an modest men, I have to do it with the brains they have given me, as we say in Holland a good common sense, is some times bether as the scholarly learned.
I am stopping now, but I can tell you that Europe is in an big bad situation, with his not wanted misbehaving Moslim People.

Johannes posted: First of all this foto, is a hoast, and comes from the Moslims, its not doing him credit as an choosen and selected men by the Dutch citizen.
It’s not a hoax. It’s a real photo and not made by ‘Moslims’.
Johannes posted: How can you critizi a country you do know nothing about, it makes you look very stupid.
Claiming that photograph is a hoax is rather stupid. Blaming ‘Moslims’ for falsifying it is even more stupid.
Johannes posted: @qzzq, I hope you past your highschool with this kind of mathematic thinking.
I managed to get a university degree with my ‘mathematic thinking’ - you?...
Johannes posted: His politic opponents push him in the nazi corner, but he is just speeking as lots of Dutch people are thinking.
Well, not ‘lots of Dutch people’; about 15%. And yes, discriminating against followers of a religion is exactly what the Nazis did.
Johannes posted: The problem in Holland with the Moslim population is huge…
There are 800,000 Muslims living in Holland on a total population of more than 16 million. I wouldn’t call that huge, perhaps more a sizable minority. And by far the majority of those 800,000 people don’t cause any problems whatsoever.
So the only stupidity here, Johannes, is yours.

The problem in Holland with the Moslim population is huge, they are forming a state in the state, the Dutch society is a very open one, and thats wy its so vulnerable, for people with a dogmatic thinking, and low or not at all an education, they can’t understand their change they get, to live in freedom.
If you want to critice, well start with your own country, I give you some points to think about:
Monsanto, Hormone beef, bleached chicken, about politics, look to all the people with an double nationalety, who are govern the USA, I just want the list not to be toolong, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, and we from old Europe are standing with wat they think are their friends, the USA citizen.

Criticisms of this guy are often long on indignance and short on reason, in my experience.

tshirt doctor, that’s absurd. I’ve travelled throughout Europe and there’s a huge difference between Muslims in Granada, Lyon, Roma, Frankfort, Dublin, London…
These are ordinary Europeans who haven’t harmed anyone. They simply wish to live their lives in peace. If you want to find fanaticism, visit any site and type in “Dr. Tiller.” Or go to Operation Rescue’s cybertissue of lies.
Want incivility? Check out the local American Starbucks (or other brand) and take a good, hard listen. Selfishness, greed, insensitivity, malicious, it’s all there in abundance and ready for harvest…
Always blame the different. It’s safer that way.

we’ve got it nice compared to the Netherlands. you see, our rich businessmen wanted to keep own labor expenses down so the imported cheap labor from across the border. that’s why we’ve got entire villages begging for work at any Home Depot. it was catholic.
europeans rich businessmen wanted to keep own labor expenses down so the imported cheap labor from across the border too. that’s why they’ve got entire villages begging for work at any Home Depot, or whatever they have over there. its was muslim.
and the muslims don’t want to integrate with the west. they want to dominate the west.

Now now now…remember these are the Dutch and deserve the benefit of the doubt. Often, historically, they’ve been progressive and extremely hospitable to foreigners.
In a bad situation, I’d feel a lot more confident with the Dutch than the Americans, any day.
But every time I have visited Amsterdam, six or seven times now, I’ve met more and more Turks, and fewer native Dutch. There’s displacement going on, and EU economic politics as well. You see the same thing going on in Germany, and France (although there the immigrants are mostly African).
I live in California, in a very left county, and we’re a sanctuary for Latin Americans. We’ve entire villages begging for work at any Home Depot or major intersection in town. These are nice people in desperate circumstances, and aren’t we all? Somehow I find it unbelievable that they are to blame for society’s problems. I also comprehend that with the economic downturn, any job has multiple applicants and immigrants do work for less.
That is the core issue for the Dutch, from what I have heard from them in private conversation.
