  3. Populist? I think al-Reuters would have been calling him a "right wing extremist" last week.

    Apparently Reuters wants to continue selling content in Europe. Funny how they scramble to get back onside.

    The courts in the Netherlands were forced to choose between their institutional legitimacy and their policy preferences. Their instinct for self preservation won out - and perhaps they felt their country would be ill served by a judiciary widely perceived as discredited.

    Our various questionable institutions should likewise be made to choose.

  4. TY for the hat tip, Fay. Actually, I posted the BBC story about Wilders's acquittal on DL. I also posted a Mark Steyn's article, this one:

    Too big to win.

    Enjoy it, though it's long.

  5. That’s the Netherlands, 2011. Shameful. As for the Islamic imperialists, they’re taking their case to the logical venue

    I didn't have to read further to know to what they were referring.

  8. I think Lady Read might have to be the one to add you. She started the blog, so she is the Queen. But I could be wrong.

    It is wonderful to see you here.

  13. I did wonder where'd all the best minds gone, once the auld haunt had become a wholly pwned subsidiary of DNC. It's good to be back amongst y'all.

  17. Hay Soulus, great to read you again. Ya I don't post much at DL anymore. Scratches my head about the atmosphere there.

    TCK is very warm and hospitable. I like it here!

  18. I'm sure it is, Pamela and everybody. Even though I'm not that conservative (other than on the National Question and a few others) -- more like classical liberal; and I'm easily distracted by boobies...
