Danish politician Pia Kjærsgaard speaks a similar language, remarking last year to the Associated Press: “The most important thing for the Danish People’s Party (DF) is to maintain the Danish identity.” And like Wilders, she is quick to reject comparisons to Europe’s Old Guard, saying: “There is nothing racist about what I have said, I know that. … My driving force is the love for my home country. … I want Denmark to be a safe and good and cozy nation that has a good relationship to the rest of the world.”
Amen, sister! And it’s precisely this – love for our families, love for our own countries and culture – that will 1) free Western Civilization from the stranglehold the Leftists have enjoyed for the past 50 years and 2) protect our civilization from being completely overrun by Islam.
Leftist notions of multiculturalism are wholly dependent upon being able to convince people of that central tenet of Leftist thought – namely, the notion that everything hinges upon economics (i.e. class warfare). But with every senseless bombing…with every senseless murder…with every senseless riot…Muslims are clearly demonstrating to Westerners that culture and religion play just as important a role in the human drama as economics does, no matter how much the Leftists try to downplay their importance.
According to the results of surveys gathered by the Gallup Institute, 60% of Europeans surveyed see the growing interaction between the Muslim world and the West as a menace to freedom.
And over and over again, the ruling Left reveals itself to be completely incapable of addressing those fears. And how could they possibly do so? In the eyes of your typical Leftist, Muslim terrorists – pardon me, “extremists” (ever notice how the only other time you hear that term is when it’s paired with the word “right”?) – aren’t to blame for their actions, Western culture and history are! In the mind of the Left, the only threat that Western Civilization faces is from non-liberal Westerners!
To me, it’s a beautiful irony: the Left’s all-encompassing obsession with trying to obliterate conservative and Christian identity within Western Civilization is precisely what – in the end – is going to save said conservativism and Christianity. As the threats from Islam become more and more serious – and they will – the Left is going to be trapped in a vicious circle that it can’t escape: on the one hand, if they crack down on Muslims and demand that they adhere to Western values, then they demonstrate the emptiness of their multicultural mantra…on the other hand, if they don’t crack down, they utterly disqualify themselves for being trusted with the reins of power, which denote an implicit responsibility to protect the citizenry and the culture. Either way, they pave the way for a resurgence of the political and cultural Right.
Let’s just hope that the West wakes up in enough time that the Wilders and Kjærsgaards will suffice…as opposed to waiting until things get so grim that the Griffins and Le Pens are allowed to rise.
