David Rietveld, the one sane liberal blogger in the whole of the Netherlands (so of course his Green Party won't let him run for Parliament), attacks the conservative VVD party on his blog.
Nice try, but he's not nearly as nasty as he could have been. Take for example this American article about Noam Chomsky's investment policies. Now that's burning someone down to the ground. Come on, David, go west. Surely Dutch political polemics can be equally vicious as their American counterparts?

"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer." Andrew Sullivan
