This is the real 'message' contained in the letter to the editor, written by Gerard BIJNSDORP, entitled Leopold "Wilders" James.
OUR COMMENTARY.
Coming from this particular gentleman, I certainly consider his association of what I stand for, with Geert WILDERS, quite a compliment.
Nevertheless, while I will defend his right to continue expressing whatever nonsense about me, he still never addressed his true motives for attacking the 'messenger', and not dealing with the 'message'.
In other words, his attacks on Leopold are 'wearing out', becoming obsolete and redundant, because by now 'everybody' knows how 'bad' James is, and interestingly enough more people are even starting to agree with 'crazy' James.
So, that is not the issue, if it ever was.
What is an issue, is that it is time that the self-proclaimed drift-wood artist, aka unpaid adviser etc, explains the St. Martin people why he thinks they are not worth of being recognized, protected as a people in their own country.
Time for Gerard to tell the growing number of angry young St. Martiners, why in his opinion, it is o.k. that they are disrespected, disregarded and marginalized in their own native country, while certain 'intruders' and their families live like 'Kings'.
Yeah, Gerard....
Explain to them why you do not want for them to have future in their own country and why you oppose them getting meaningful opportunities and justice in their own land.
And also, do not forget to explain them that you prefer making mockery of and prefer ridiculing the Leopold James, the 'messenger', rather than giving attention to the 'message' and finding solutions to help the native people of this land.
In other words, there is no more need to focus any longer on Leopold James, the 'messenger', we all know how much you envy and hate him.
The 'message' remains the same nevertheless.
There will never be any sustainable development, peace and tranquility on the 'Friendly island' as long as there is no justice for and recognition of the native St. Martin people and as long as charity does not start at home for St. Martiners.
Meanwhile, my dear friend Gerard, I fully understand you do not like St. Martiners having their own 'Geert WILDERS', but that you rather support our politicians who sell us out for 'politically correct' reasons so that other people can replace us and call themselves the St. Martiners.
Enjoy it while it lasts, brother man.
In ending, my dear friend, while you still have lots of time on hand, prepare yourself to, one day, face those angry, young St. Martiners, when they come soliciting your 'unpaid advice' - it better be not only free - but also contain the road-map indicating how to guarantee that 'Charity starts at home' for St. Martiners, while protecting all realistic, 'non-trumped' up human rights for others.
Even prouder than before,
Drs. Leopold JAMES
President SNBF/ Association L' Esprit de Concordia
