Amerikkalainen näkökulma Euroopan tilanteeseen. Paljon tuttuakin tietoa, mutta silti lukemisen arvoinen teksti, jos ei muun niin kertauksen vuoksi! Hyvin jäsenneltyä pohdintaa Euroopan oikeistolais-konservatiivisesta käänteestä.   

"Who will win the war for the soul of Western Europe? The Islamofascists and their multiculturalist appeasers, many of whom seem to believe that their job is not to defend democracy but to help make the transition to sharia as smooth as possible? The nativist cryptofascists? Or Pim Fortuyn's freedom-loving heirs?"

"For establishment politicians, journalists, and academics, these parties serve an exceedingly useful purpose: their existence makes it easy to tar any nonsocialist party with the fascist brush—labeling it racist and xenophobic, equating its leaders with the likes of Le Pen and Haider, and stigmatizing its supporters."
