Unpalatable allies

There's currently an argument going on among some bloggers about whether the Belgian Vlaams Belang party is racist and anti-Jewish.. There appears to be some evidence supporting that allegation.
Gates of Vienna, Little Green Footballs and The Midnight Sun (among others) have weighed into the argument.
Leaving aside for the moment the possibility that the party is being set up and discredited by its opponents, the argument raises some interesting questions.
Should we on the Right insist on some ideal standard of ideological purity for others before we'll accept them as allies? Revolting as anti-semitism is, the far right hardly has a monopoly on it. The Left, remember is no friend of Israel and anyone who doubts that has only to don a biohazard suit and trawl through some of the more extreme lefty blogs.
For us on the right to attempt some kind of ideological purity test before accepting the usefulness of an ally is self-defeating and an invitation to the left to fragment those who would oppose their totalitarian project. Like it or not, this battle isn't going to be won at the ballot box, since politicians and bureaucrats are utterly impervious to the "will of the people". They've demonstrated that fact again and again, to our cost. Don't want U.N. treaties signed behind your back? Europeans don't want a European Constitution that disempowers citizens? Don't want mass immigration from third-world hellholes and all the problems that brings?
Too bad. You got them anyway. So much for the ballot box.
And that's just three examples taken at random from hundreds.
The fact is--unpalatable as it may be--that the far right is home to those who are most likely to rebel against the rushing tide of state control and the U.N.'s sick dream of a disarmed, helpless people who are no more than fodder for any totalitarian nutjob government--and the U.N. is the prime candidate for that title. I very much doubt the neo-nazis and the anarchists and the rest of them could ever gain real power, but I'm pretty damn confident they could give governments which are currently treating citizens with utter contempt a serious fright, forcing them to back away from the totalitarian projects some of them are currently embarked on.
Am I a racist? No. Do I believe that my culture is worth preserving at any cost? Yes.
We have to stop the left from setting the terms of this debate and if the price of that is being labelled a Nazi or a fascist or a racist, then so be it. They can take their labels and stick 'em where they belong--time enough to sort that out after it has been made plain to the ruling elite that the voice of the people will be listened to, or run the real risk of full-blown civil war.
