Nationalism, as in anti-European Union and anti-globalism, is sweeping through Eastern Europe and in no place is it catching fire faster than Poland.

Upwards of 50,000 Poles were reported out in the streets Wednesday evening, marching with flags and slogans like “Stop Islamization” and “Great Catholic Poland” on the anniversary of Poland’s return to independence after World War I.

There were 11 demonstrations throughout the day in Warsaw Wednesday. Police came out in full riot gear and there were some minor skirmishes, but no injuries reported.

“God, honor, homeland,” chanted the protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags, the Telegraph reported.

Demonstrators trampled and burned a European Union flag at one point, while a banner added to the anti-EU theme with the slogan “EU macht frei” (“Work makes you free” in German), a reference to the slogan over the gates at Auschwitz, according to the Telegraph.

Too Little too late. No guns no safety. Gun control equals death.

Defenceless secular lambs to the slaughter. Armed Christians are safer than the corrupted Euro slaves owned by their masters in Brussels.

God-willing, maybe we’ll see the birth of the 21st century equivalent of the Winged Hussars.

"EU macht frei" ("Work makes you free" in German),

The German word for "EU" is hardly "work".
