Subject: FW: Go Dutch!-
Go Dutch !
Go the Dutch - but why wait until 2013?
The Netherlands , where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism: The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands . A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role." With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society. The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands .. The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law." The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner; "It is not the government's job to integrate immigrants." (How bloody true). The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress. More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering, Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013. Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realised - maybe too late - that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself. The future of Australia , the United States, UKand Canada may well be read here. NOTE: Muslim immigrants leave their countries of birth because of civil and political unrest "CREATED BY THE VERY NATURE OF THEIR CULTURE." Countries such as Holland, Canada, the UK andAustralia have an established way of life that actually works, so why embrace the unworkable? If Muslims do not wish to accept another culture, the answer is simple; "STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!" "Or go back to where you were!" This gives a whole new meaning to the term; 'Dutch Courage' - Unfortunately Australian, American, UK and Canadian politicians don't have the ... guts to do the same. There's a whole lot of truth here!!!! ELECTION 2013 IS COMING.
A Nation of Sheep, Breeds a Government of Wolves! I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!
Let's Take a Stand!!! Borders: Closed! Language: English only! Culture: English Constitution, is the Bill of Rights! Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare! NO freebies to: Non-Citizens! We the people are coming!!! Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%. What will you do? |

Why should we follow the example of a godless socialist European state? I thought we were supposed to shun them and their ideas?
I'm in favor of this!
@ Les Dixia
In favor of what? Fear mongering? Bigotry? Stupidity?
Dear Les & Other Conservatives in favor of this: Please answer the last question: what are you "in favor" of?
Secondly, I agree with the first Anon comment. I *thought* that in Conservaworld, the Godless Socialist Heathen Commie Nazi countries with - gasp! shriek! shudder! - single payer style health care systems & other social safety nets were to be shunned, dissed, disparaged, spat on & AVOIDED at all costs.
Per usual, I am confused. OTOH, conservatives wish to cherry pick what little "flavors" they want to imbibe thinking that it's "just that simple," while ignoring a whole giant host of other issues that conflate to make up a society, like that in Holland.
OTOH, this issue isn't settled yet in Holland, nor is it settled in other European nations with similar issues, such as France and Germany. It's true that some portion of the Dutch citizenry would like to stop multiculturalism in their nation, but my guess is that it's not going to really happen because it's mostly impossible now.
Thirdly, it's ridiculous to compare these types of multicultural issues in a very small country like Holland with our large nation, which has *encouraged* multiculturalism for many many decades until recently.
Living in some kind of fairy-tale land (not uncommon for conservatives who want to ram their fantasies down everyone else's throats) where you think that somehow Team USA can become all Whitey-land is simply that: a fairy tale.
And pssst: hey guess what, conservatives? It's 1%ers like the Kochs who are paying big bucks (well, really, chump change for them) to push out ridiculous racist nonsense that *somehow* Whiteys can, you know, "get *their* country back" (whatever the fack that means).
Get over it. Team USA is multicultural, and Whites are not going to be the dominant race in the near future. Don't like it? Oh well: go move somewhere else and figure out who else you can oppress with your nasty racist bigotry.
Well said, ferschitz,
The tone of the email is that immigrants should accept and assimilate into the culture of their new land.
But the culture of America is multiculturism!! Isn't America the great melting pot? Is there any true "American" culture other than what we've borrowed and assimilated from other cultures (aside from maybe baseball and jazz).
I think that's what *made* America; it's certainly what made it great...Rather than forcing immigrants to assimilate and abandon their native culture, America adopts the culture of the immigrants and weaves it into a new, ever-changing definition of America.
ferschitz my libtard amigo: Are you in favor of this?

"But the culture of America is multiculturism!! Isn't America the great melting pot? Is there any true "American" culture other than what we've borrowed and assimilated from other cultures"
When I was a kid, that was what we heard about in school. And that was what made America strong. Today's version of "melting pot" and "assimilation" is for the immigrant to retain his complete identity, language, dress, culture, etc. And the liberals rejoice, and promote this nonsense with their programs of diversity.
No matter how you spin it,by definition, diversity can never be assimilation.
@Anonymous
What does that have to do with the subject at hand? That tax loophole is a failure of the gov beast and has zip to do with multiculturalism as an argument. Besides that, anyone who uses words like "libtard" exhibits zero credibility and zero interest in any sort of cogent discourse.
That conservative "Anonymous" never contributes anything to the actual conversation. S/he just likes to call names and put down one of the more frequent posters here.
Pay no attention. Not worth the effort (in other words: don't feed the troll). Not surprised that the link has nothing to do with the post at hand.
That's a typical tactic from either a far Right troll or a far Left troll: Change the subject to something irrelevant to the subject at hand. In the case of the Conservatives that's usually the next Fox News talking point. Fair and Balanced and all that.

Spoken like someone with no idea about American history. You think all those folks who came through Ellis Island just instantly became English speaking, Flag Saluting All American Folks? Wrong. Ever heard of "Chinatown"? "Little Italy"? Little Armenia (or Tehran, or Moscow, or etc). How do you think those enclaves came about?
Your naive little mind would be shocked to see how many languages were spoken in old New York, or Chicago, Pittsburgh, a hundred other cities, or on the homesteads of the great plains. Go by the NYPL sometime and check out the archives of dozens of foreign language newspapers which were printed and read by millions of new "Americans" in their various ethnic enclaves. These are facts. You can't pretend them away.
And never mind those of Mexican decent who were "assimilated" at gunpoint in 1948, through no choice of their own. Or the Asians who came here to sweat and toil and get spit on while helping to build up our great country, many never learning more than a smattering of english.
No matter how you spin it,by definition, diversity can never be assimilation.
Probably sounded better in the original German.
Culture: English Constitution, is the Bill of Rights!
I'm not an expert on the English Constitution, but do we have to have a Constitutional monarchy? I'll take the provision for socialized health care, not sure many are going to like the bit about guns.
The irony of this, of course, is that the majority of US citizens today had ancesters who were, at one time, immigrants, and who probably were looked down on & mistreated & not trusted simply because, at that time, they were viewed as "the other."
Anyone remember those "Dumb Polish" jokes of the early 1960s? Do we hear them anymore? No, because who would think to diss those of Polish descent these days, and besides the Poles are whitey-white-white.
Content is lacking in any redeeming value or any real relationship to life in America.
