Voice from the Commonwealth
Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

An article about the arrests of radical Islamists that have been made in Holland since September 11th.

"With the arrests in Rotterdam last year, a very nasty attack on the US Embassy in Paris may have been prevented… the problem with the Netherlands is that we have a reputation of being tolerant. Frankly, I feel this is not something to be ashamed of, but tolerance should not be taken to mean that you allow anything to happen on your territory and I think it's a good thing to be tolerant and act like a host to people who are being persecuted elsewhere. That's a Dutch tradition that goes back centuries."
