THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The political party of Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders, which is leading polls ahead of parliamentary elections next year, has vowed to close mosques and “ban the Quran” in its manifesto.
“All mosques and Islamic schools closed, a ban on the Quran,” said the document outlining the electoral program of the Freedom Party (PVV) ahead of March 2017 legislative elections, which was posted on Wilders’ Twitter feed Thursday.
Wilders’ manifesto was the first published by a major political party ahead of elections for the lower house of Dutch parliament which are due by March 15 next year.
The PVV says it will reverse the “Islamization” of the country with a range of measures including closing the borders, shutting asylum seeker centers, banning migrants from Islamic countries and stopping Muslim women from wearing the headscarf in public.
On the back of Europe’s migrant crisis, opinion polls have for months given Wilders’ PVV the edge over the current coalition parties of the Labor Party and the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy led by Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
Sounds like Donald Trump's campaign platform, almost to the letter.Four years of Trump?
Imagine Democrats were doing any of this. ANY of it. Remember that the GOP was FURIOUS about Lynch meeting Bill Clinton at an airport. Remember that Hillary gave speeches to Goldman Sachs. Remember that Hillary’s private server COULD POSSIBLY have been hacked. Those were unconscionable acts.
Republicans have long been notorious for never fighting fairly. Maybe it’s because they’ve never conducted an actual war in a foreign land with anything even approaching competency in strategy and intelligence. Their belligerence has all been aimed at securing their own cushy, well paying jobs at taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile their new Leader is holding hands with the man behind a series of otherwise inexplicable “right” turns in several important western democracies: Putin. Putin has been funding the National Front in France and has just concluded a deal with Austria’s far right party, which fortunately lost the recent election. Putin is following the Aleksandr Dugin playbook on geopolitics (a fascism without borders) and revving up inter-ethnic conflicts inside Western democracies.
So the cowardice, weakness and the need never to play fair to win elections is playing right into Putin’s hands.
It’s the program pushed by Putin to destabilize western democracies.

Flynn Met With Leader Of Austrian Party Founded By Ex-Nazis At Trump Tower
The party was founded at TT? Whole lotta shift going on at TT. Not surprised about ex-Nazi Austrians living there though.
I guess they’re booking a joint rally in Nuremberg.
Good catch.
Neo-Nazism is on the rise around the world, and the individual national elements are making ever deeper connections. Just look at the AltRight in the UK, Russia, Turkey, The Philippines, and other states on every continent (except maybe Antarctica) … and Trump’s ultimate goal is to make the USA the world leader in the movement.
Only the American people can stand directly in his way. We won’t need to go to the Middle East to find a war to intervene in … it’s waiting right on our doorstep.
"other solutions.”
…
Pfft. Literary criticism won’t get you any respect here.
Touché. I admit, I’m a Philistine, when it comes to the literary world. My daughter, the Ph.D. Classicist, has read Judith Butler extensively. She discussed some of Butler’s ideas with me once, and to be quite honest, upon reading some of Butler’s texts, I was never able to figure out exactly what she was driving at.
You’re looking at the next US Citizens. Any Nazi rejected by the Austrian people will be welcomed with arms in the US by Trump and his team.
The North Carolina Legislature offered a motion to censure Judith Butler. They didn’t think it right she was always talking bad about some guy named “Norm” when he wasn’t there to defend himself.
Flynn, to Trump, as their '77 Ford Pinto plunges to the earth:
“I’ve always loved you.”
This whole Nazi/Kremlin nexus is really freaky. At first glance, it seems like a historical contradiction, like Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader. But now it turns out that this is exactly what’s happening. Who will be our moose and flying squirrel to foil their plans?
next time some right wing idgit comes up with the saul alinsky or George soros BS meme now we can say that your guys are pallin around with Nazi’s and commie sympathizers…dugin and putin
