		<description>&lt;strong&gt;This is just the beginning in Europe.  The Europeans have been taken over by the Left, are paying the price, and now the reaction comes.  This is going to get violent.&lt;/strong&gt;



In my opinion many Europeans are not going to go silently into the night of Islamic domination and &quot;Multiculturlism&quot;.  This is a very good thing.  They are saying they are not going to abandon their nation, their culture, their values to foreign influence, Islam in particular.  



The text above sees this resistance to &quot;mulitculturalism&quot; and international infiltration as a bad thing - I see it as an excellent reaction to assault on social groups that want to maintain their cultural identity and protect the soverignty of the nation they belong to.



Watch as this conflict turns first into aggressive criminal behavior and then civil war.  A political solution to this &quot;invasion&quot;, orchestrated by the Left, is not possible.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know if anybody saw the well buried NYT article regarding the potential collapse of Belgium (like they were literally not going to have a government and therein there would be no country).

That is, until all political sides decided to band together to put up stricter immigration policies.

The NYT article said that that one piece of legislation may have kept the country of Belgium... a country.

Funny to think though that in this era first world countries can act so pitifully as to be on the brink of disintegration.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But Swiss people are not fooled. The last poll (out today) shows that the SVP has gained more support since then, gathering now 27.3 p.c. of the people, countrywide, their best score ever.

So please don’t you get fooled.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Euros call us racists, I know, I lived in Europe for three years and all I ever heard about was how raaaacist Americans are&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s what my belgian friend thought. She also thought there was constant violence in the streets and the police ran around in squads beating people. Her description sounded like nazi Germany. I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that one of the leftists strategies is to create that impression. 

It&#039;s funny how they can even do it here in the US, how liberals think most of the country is mired in poverty and oppression. Liberals are so far into themselves that they cannot even see outside themselves to compare what is ral with what they are told.</description>

		<description>Actually, Switzerland has had 20 p.c. of foreigners for as long as I can remember. We have a tradition of immigration. Four national languages. And the SVP has nothing against it. They are campaigning against &lt;em&gt;criminal &lt;/em&gt;foreigners. It is a sad fact that foreigners have become several times more criminal then Swiss people these last years (and we don’t have any slums over here). 

And I don&#039;t think that most Americans would have found their poster racist if they would have known the facts behind it. To throw out the black sheep (the subject of the poster) is not a racist idea. But it is a pretty efficient idea for leftists to pretend it is. As a matter of facts, our criminal foreigners are hardly black people. If most of them would have been black, no-one would have dared to make that poster, of course. The SVP did it because it was obviously not racist. But of course, the Left tried it nevertheless, with the help of the UN (Doudou Diene) and here we are, with hard core leftists preventing freedom of demonstration in the Swiss capital. 

But Swiss people are not fooled. The last poll (out today) shows that the SVP has gained more support since then, gathering now 27.3 p.c. of the people, countrywide, their best score ever.

		<description>&quot;Unlike in the US, in Europe discrimination is real.&quot;

Ya got that right. As I&#039;ve said in other threads, German or Swiss is a nationality, you can move to Germany but you can&#039;t *become* German. But you CAN move to America and become American. 

Euros call us racists, I know, I lived in Europe for three years and all I ever heard about was how raaaacist Americans are. But in reality, the Euros are racist. On the other hand they have the right to defend their countries from islamists who want to take over ... however, they DID &lt;em&gt;invite&lt;/em&gt; them. 

Read &quot;While Europe Slept&quot; by Bruce Bower, an American lefty who thought it&#039;d be swell to live in socialist Europe and found out that he how wrong he was about the &#039;openminded&#039; Euros and the &#039;peaceful&#039; muslims.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Let’s not gloat. We’re about 10 years behind them. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think we have a little longer but agree with your sentiment. People think I&#039;m nuts when I say that we are traveling down the road to totalitarianism or authoritarianism at best. What is mind boggling is not so much how the leftists, post modern moral relativists are out of touch but how many conservatives act like the things that are going on can be reversed in a successful election cycle.</description>

Let&#039;s not gloat.  We&#039;re about 10 years behind them.  I often wonder who&#039;s worse, the Mexicans or the jihadists.  They sound so similar it&#039;s hard to tell.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;peacenprosperity on October 10, 2007 at 1:44 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt; Just a hunch. I bet your Belgian friend is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt;  living in Flemand, the Dutch speaking northern part of the country which wants independence from Belgium.

In Belgium, the Flemish work and pay taxes, the Walloons receive the subsidies and the Brussels bureaucrats dither while Brussels&#039; 25% Muslim population seethes.</description>

		<description>Guess weknow which side of this &quot;debate&quot; the author of this piece is on.
&lt;blockquote&gt;One of the world’s oldest democracies is at the center of Western Europe’s most divisive political debate: to &lt;strong&gt;embrace an increasingly &lt;/strong&gt;globalized, multicultural society &lt;strong&gt;or to retreat into social isolation &lt;/strong&gt;in an effort to preserve eroding traditional identities.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;our racist nationaist parties that seek to ingratiate themselves with right wing americans, by lying about their extremeism. Luckily in most cases the americans i know can spot a nazi from a mile off.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You probably are referring to groups with common sense who are trying to save their countries. The &quot;Americans&quot; who you  say can spot a nazi a mile off are probably refferring to George Bush while voting with a knee jerk for the fascists in the democrat party who want to nationalize the oil companies, pharmacuetical companies and all health care.  I bet those &quot;Americans&quot; live in Manhattan and wear Che t-shirts.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I invite you to stay here at my home and expand your view of actual Europe.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My bet is Niko is a expat trust funder.

I have a freind who lives in Belgium. She and most of her freinds are single mothers because the men are all lazy. They think it is their right to go out every night, play soccer on the weekends and pick up their checks from the government. They have no interest in their children. She had a muslim husband who used to slap her around right out in the street and no one would step in to protect her not even the police. She says people don&#039;t get involved in other peoples business.  Her and her freinds have given up on finding honorable good men to marry and have no problem sleeping with married men or the boyfreinds of other women because &quot;everybody does it&quot;.

A corrupt and dying continent.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;dont worry, i know what you mean, im a brit.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Do you mean that you&#039;re ethnically English, Irish, Scottish, or Welsh or that you have U.K. citizenship?  If you&#039;re the former, how does it feel to know that you&#039;re going to be extinct pretty soon?</description>
