Let's Go Dutch

Lets Go With 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 realized - maybe too late - that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself.

The future of Australia, the United States, UK and 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 and Australia 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 2012 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?

integration of Muslims is not a problem in this country (unlike in Netherlands) but Spanish-speaking comnmunity has problems to accept English as the official language.but they hold many votes...

funny, you are talking about the Constitution as the the guarrantee of our rights, and I agree, but BOTH Obama and Romney take these rights away from you via Patriot Act, NDAA...

Sure, we are the nation of sheep. As long as we are well-fed  and maybe even entertained by watching some tv program, we are ok.

Several years ago while on a layover in Amsterdam on my way to the Republic of Yemen, I had chance to do a little sightseeing.  Almost stepped on a needle left by a druggie in one of their parks since drugs are legal.   If you happen to frequent the bars, you don't have to be smoking anything to get loaded just walk in and stay awhile.   Prostitution is legal and a lot of the houses have picture windows with the prostitute sitting in.  Be careful where you go because you may lose your wallet or more.
In Yeman, haven for terrorist, extremist where everyone carried an AK or knife, the people don't take to the streets and businesses didn't open until about 1800 because of the heat of the day.  Of course alcohol and drugs were illegal as was prostitution and other vices.
We would walk the streets in the poorest sections of town buying jewery and other things that we couldn't find in the states at 0100 or 0200.  We were perfectly safe.  No cops no one to protect us knowing we were rich Westerners compared to their standards.   Let's go Dutch
