loons and their 'stats' and 'facts'


(More to come, according to the comment)

Geert, as the only Dutch politician is spot on that the majority of Dutch tax payers donot want to give one more cent to Greece for financing their 6 hour work days, their pension age of 56 and 16 months of year salary.

Spot on!

I agree with FD. Geert talks straight and he sure knows his stuff. Adds a lil' populist spin to please the electorate. Nothing new for a politician, but Geert says it like it is. Thats real change, even though you don't always have to agree with him. Thats democracy.

This is the biggest loon around these days. Most intellectually dishonest President I've ever seen. Working hard to reach 3rd world country status. We're all waiting for the taxman...

"Mussolini made the trains run on time"

But seriously, this is just a teaser for an article (or articles) on Geerts 'facts'. I suspect they'll be exposing his Islamophobic rather than his economic views.

Under his governance Italy built the first hightway in the World as well as many others. Actually Mussolini saved Italy from chaos and revolution after WWI.

Sir Shafique, I am a little disappointed your cheap recent posts.

I thought the comparison of Geert to Mussolini was quite apt. The fact Mussolini did a few other things right too, just reinforces the point I was making. Thanks RC.

What is wrong with our Shafique...

Did he lost his ability to discuss realities other than rhetoric?

Let us not forget that Mussolini was a fascist dictator (teacher even) and thus authoritarian, whom compares better with modern day dictators from the Middle East.
Geert Wilders on the other hand needs to build coalitions to get things done. It is called consensus politics. It's democratic FYI.

People don't just vote for him because he has strong views about totalitarian ideologies, like Islam. Don't be misled by certain lefty media outlets and their populist agenda's. I can tell you the man is a blessing to Dutch politics cause he breaks the status quo with remarkable ease. Eloquent speaker. And you know why? Because he's a straight talker. A new wind is blowing in this country.

The only comparison I could (possibility) make with Geert and dictators is that he's a socialist. And we all know how an eloquent national socialist was appointed leader of Germany to get her out of grips of hated French war repayments (Versailles accord) after WWI.

But I don't see this as an issue today. Situation is very different today. Better keep an eye out for Southern peripheral nations like Greece, Ireland and perhaps even Spain and Italy. There lies the real nationalistic threat in my view. Geert's views are a lil' too liberal for dictatorial power grabs.
