Where would the Times be without all those bigoted right wing homophobes?

[Madstrider]

the League of Polish Families, an ultra-right-wing Catholic party.

Okay they believe that homosexuality is aberrant behavior contrary to nature and the teachings of the Bible.

Its just possible that these people, having seen the gay marriage debate in this country, know where this incremental gay tolerance thing is headed and decided that they aren't going there.

I guess liberals admiration of Europe is selective... and if there isn't a leftist and socialist regime in power, they disdain it.

The NYT Editorial board? Heck, when those boys get gas, they don't fart, they hoot!

[mgist]

What Soros's billions in the "Open Society" to promote drugs and homosexuality aren't working? Let's get the NYT to help.

[SampleMan]

Exactly how many stories has the Times run on the bigotry of Arab countries? Never mind, it was a rhetorical question. My guess is that this is just the tip of the iceberg of negative stories on Poland, as someone at the NYT has just discovered that there is a whole country full of Mass attending Catholics out there.

I'm wondering how many editorials the NYTimes ran deploring the division and extermination of Poland by Hitler and Stalin? I'm betting the number is zero.

[sergeantdave]

The anti-Christian communist bigots at the NYT projecting their usual intolerance.

Still waiting for the propagandists there to condemn Stalin.

[A. Pole]

two dangerous fringe parties: Self-Defense, a peasant party whose leader openly admires the dictator of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko; and the League of Polish Families, an ultra-right-wing Catholic party.

League of Polish Families (LPR) is not an "ultra-right-wing" party. It is conservative pro-family Catholic party which tries to adhere to the social doctrine of the Church. Self-Defense (Samoobrona) is a populist party trying to protect interests of the people who got impoverished during shock "therapy" and privatization, critical toward reforms of the last years.

These parties are not dangerous. They represent legitimate and peaceful interests of a large part of Polish population.

Some formerly Communist countries that eagerly joined the European Union are balking at the social policies that come with democracy.

Which came first the article or the headline?

The articles seems to start out with a legitimate preface with which to begin a rational dissertation. HOWEVER, it appears the writer quickly took a tangent into leftist screed territory -a tangent apparently necessary to support such an absurd headline...

Poland, which is now run by a right-wing nationalist government...

Wrong! The government might be rather nationalistic, but otherwise it is left wing, i.e. against free trade and capitalism.

The preferred broadcasting outlet of Poland's government is Radio Maryja, a Catholic radio station with millions of listeners that is openly nationalist, anti-Semitic and anti-foreigner. It has resisted admonishments from Pope Benedict to stop talking about politics.

But... but... I thought that "Catholics" telling the Pope to get stuffed was only a problem in the spoiled American church!
