Bruce Bawer: Submission in the Netherlands?
Ref: City Journal, Winter 2009, vol 19, no 1. Jan 22nd, 2009
“a court in the Netherlands—a nation once famous for being an oasis of free speech—has now decided to prosecute a member of the national legislature for speaking his mind. By doing so, it proves exactly what Wilders has argued all along: that fear and “sensitivity” to a religion of submission are destroying Dutch freedom.”
Andrew Marr: Poor? Stupid? Racist? Then don’t listen to a pampered white liberal like me…
Ref: The Guardian February 28, 199
Andrew Marr explains why oppression is good when applied to backwards beliefs: “”And the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain ‘natural’ beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off.”"
