My girlfriend told me that on the BBC this morning, the Netherlands was accused of not being as liberal as it once was since it has been denying some asylum seekers of late.

My thought on that was that the vast majority of the “asylum seekers” are North African economic migrants. Yeah, they’re not being very liberal by not wanting to wreck their entire society by allowing millions of young North African men into assault women and tear down their institutions. I’ll take that form of illiberalism any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

As much as I hate to say this, long term the only form of a society that perseveres might be a fairly conservative one. Liberalism as practiced in the West is too prone to allowing itself to be eaten away from the inside with clueless libs cheering it all on from the sidelines.
