Shameful day for The Netherlands

I'm not going to talk at length about what happened right now. I will, later.

Read these excellent columns, first:

• 
  Der Spiegel - DER FALL HIRSI ALI
• 
  Die Welt - The Free West
• 
  Human Events - Holland Hounds Hirsi Ali
• 
  La Repubblica - Via dall'Olanda, fuggo negli Usa
• 
  Le Monde - dénigrée, s'exile aux Etats-Unis
• 
  PeakTalk - Hirsi Ali's Fall
• 
  NY Times - Daughter of Enlightenment

Nowhere else has the left establishment (often referred to in The Netherlands as 'The Leftist Church') manifested itself so 'well' in public life, and camouflaged itself so effectively as to completely remain respectable, whilst continuing to implement their goals of anti-liberty, anti-democracy and anti-property.

Now, with decades of failing public policy from politics, media and government-sponsored self-interest foundations, this edifice is about to come tumbling down, spectacularly.

After the Leftist Church-condoned murders of Pim Fortuyn, Theo van Gogh, and many, many hushed-up violations the last few decades, their positions are finally being scrutinized by more than a few solitary reporters, and years of publicly financed largesse are at stake.

They don't go out without a fight. Indeed. Their well organised media campaigns are reminiscent of the tactics of Goebbels in Nazi-Germany. Even executed with less fallacies. They still muster the greatest influence ever by a clear minority, claiming to represent the well-being of all.

A better proof that we should not fight for democracy, but a well conceived constitutional republic is not easily found. The people still exchange freedom for 'gifts' from the government. They must be protected from themselves, by making selling your basic rights (to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) impossible. (Which, of course, was the basic framework of the Constitution)

More on that later.
