politics

Bada-bada-Obama

Anglosphere

Even though I probably would be happiest with Ron Paul for president (based on a test I'll link later), I'm also happy Obama beat Clinton yesterday. Not because I am a huge fan of his, but rather because I can't stand Hillary. Besides, I reckon America is not ready for a black president even more so than it is for a female one. A shame in itself but as it helps the Republicans at the end of the year you won't see me grieve over it.

Politics

European Union

Readers of my blog not used to having political views on here: for a long time I have been able to express my political views on Simply American, but recent events abrupted that option. I respect the view that some readers don't want to read about politics and that, with the US leading the war on terror, SA was the appropriate outlet.

But it would be foolish of me to continue such a policy now that murder and threats in the name of jihad take place in my home country.

I feel like I need to express my anger with terrorism as much as possible. I'm outraged that some people take the van Gogh murders as a reason to use explosives on Islamic schools which happened in Eindhoven this morning. To prevent such blind hatred, it's important that I continue to advocate a strong war on terrorism and make it very clear that terrorism is destroying all of us, both Islam and non-Islam. We must all fight it together. "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists" holds up in the Netherlands as well. To single out the terrorists and destroy them is our best ticket to restore unity. Dutch Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, secularists.. together against terrorism. United we stand.
