Islamic Republic of Europe
The boys over at the Vodka Pundit (man, love that name) are kvetching over the potential for white flight in the Netherlands. They are not so concerned over the Islamic radicalism as they are about the destination for these Progressive Middle Class who are viewed as pro-UN flunkies who want to transplant their failed culture to their new home. This is akin to bringing the infection that laid thier home country low to a new host. Let's hope that their speculation over europe is as vague as the conclusion:
And then what? What will we do with them? More interestingly, what will they do to us? Will the 'blue states' fill up with UNphilic Euro-refugees and get bluer? Or will the refugees, haven been driven from their homes by radical Islam, lean more towards the 'red' Scots-Irish motto of nemo me impune lacessit?
I don't have any idea. You don't, either. It's silly to even project current political trends in this country 20 years from now.
