“Wilders is more often wrong than right …”

I’d like to see that point argued and substantiated.

Wilders is wrong, imo, when he approvingly invokes the excesses in Enoch Powell’s renown speech. Nonetheless, the general themes he invokes, even when excessive, all resonate when placed on better ground, reframed within better articulations (cf. Mark Steyn). I.e. they are worthy of being more seriously plumbed and explicated, not dismissed out of hand and defaulting to a multi-culti ethos and gloss that – in the face of demographic, ideological, religio-socio-cultural, etc. challenges – is itself not roundly plumbed and defended.

Simply reposing in multi-culti assumptions is not an adequate response, it amounts to nothing more than a sniff and a harrumph.
