He is a professional writer by trade and it shows. Many of the familiar books are written by attorneys or non writers and their style is rough.<br /><br />One has a natural tendency to see things in familiar terms. Americans assume some odd things about rightist parties that are not exactly true. In the US populist expressions of racial animus are marginalized and outside the mainstream our traditions are different.<br /><br />The BNP and these other parties are given life because traditional<br />parties refuse to deal with immigration on any level.<br /><br />A typical discussion was on the case of Simon Mol on a Polish blog. The fact that Mol lied on his asylum claim and deliberately infected a dozen women with HIV after he knew he had the disease was a taboo subject. Mol was everything the far left wanted and he merely repeated their cliches. <br /><br />The subject of if countries should admit people with dangerous communicable diseases was taboo. The subject of asylum fraud was also taboo.<br /><br />If responsible parties refuse to discuss the obligations immigrants<br />have to their host countries it will fall to populist demagogues of the worst type.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.com
