Lech Walesa shocks Poland with anti-gay words
AP ^ | 3/3/2013 | VANESSA GERA

Posted on 03/03/2013 11:08:43 PM PST by MaryLou1

"Walesa said in a television interview on Friday that he believes gays have no right to sit on the front benches in Parliament and, if represented at all, should sit in the back, "and even behind a wall."

"They have to know that they are a minority and must adjust to smaller things. And not rise to the greatest heights, the greatest hours, the greatest provocations, spoiling things for the others and taking (what they want) from the majority," he told the private broadcaster TVN during a discussion of gay rights. "I don't agree to this and I will never agree to it."

"A minority should not impose itself on the majority," Walesa said.

The words have enraged many."

“A minority should not impose itself on the majority,” Walesa said.”

It is the truth, in Poland as well as here

even if people don’t like it, it is the truth

So, what exactly did he say that was so upsetting?

I had an argument a few years ago with a leftard about this very thing. This person apparently couldn’t or wouldn’t recognize tyranny by anything other than the majority. Any law designed to “protect and advance” minority “rights” could never go far enough. And people wonder why countries go to war.

according to the ap story many were very offended-

“”From a human point of view his language was appalling. It was the statement of a troglodyte,” said Jerzy Wenderlich, a deputy speaker of Parliament with the Democratic Left Alliance.”

“”Now nobody in their right mind will invite Lech Walesa as a moral authority, knowing what he said,” Wenderlich said.

Monika Olejnik, a leading television journalist, said Walesa “disgraced the Nobel prize.”

Some, however, said they were not surprised by Walesa’s words.

“I am surprised that only now we are noticing that Walesa is not in control of what he says and that he has views that are far from being politically correct,” said Adam Bielan, a conservative Polish member of the European Parliament.”

Good for him. Poland saved Europe once, maybe they’ll do it again.

Yes, the perpetually outraged drama queens, shockingly, are enraged.

The left have so twisted public perceptions that the truth now appears pornographic.

Ah, yes, political correctness. The universal language of totalitarian bullies.

I didn’t even know he was still alive! Zoiks!

At any rate he is 100% correct.

That and he has one of the easier-to-pronounce Polish names.

Maybe there is some commen sense being exercised viz that for one man to insert his penis into the rectum of another man is an unnatural act. He simply has the courage to say aloud what everyone else knows to be true. And by the way, this has nothing to do with being Catholic. It is simply an application of natural law.
