These central European states are no equal to the Germans and French who are ultra liberal.

Basically, western Europe is imposing their ultra liberal social/economic philosophy onto central Europe.

Central Europe is actually far more “pragmatic” and long term responsible than some of the fat, lazy, western European nations that are slowly declining in their socialist utopia. Poland and Romania saw the threat with Russia a long time ago... While the Germans were still having a love-fest with the Russians. Likewise, when it comes to immigration, refugees... these central European states like Hungary actually have a more reasonable and long term sustainable approach which western Europe should adopt.

The counterweight of these central European nations in Europe to the Western ones that are basically begging/praying for their own destruction is a breath of life into Europe, albeit the elite Western Europeans (that snub theior nose at them) don't see that. So... an Orban has to let some Von der Leyen lecture him about refugees... hahaha. BTW, do you think Germany has a slightly different perception regards Middle East refugees today? hahaha

***That is a “FACT!”***

No airplanes will by hijacked.

No building will be brought down.

No mosques will be attacked.

No people will be decapitated.

No marathons will be get IED’d.


Call is whatever you want: xenophobic, racist, jingoistic...

When you let people into your country that have a problem with free speech, uncovered women, pork, booze, homo's, accepting any religion other than Islam and women in power/leadership, but you're a Western liberal society where ALL of these things exist, guess what will happen next?

For a devout Muslim, what matters more, following the Koran and Sharia, or Western rule of law? When Sharia and the law are in conflict, what wins? When Democracy and the Sharia are in conflict, what wins?

If you mix oil with water, and shake it really hard, will it mix? If you ignore the separation of the two and look the other way, did it not separate? And therein is the problem. Western liberal and secular society CANNOT accept the fact that especially people from Muslim countries often (not always) do not mix well with anyone else. We are projecting our liberal and secular value system onto people where their religion is the sole means by which society is organized. It defines their food, dress, relations, speech/language, marriage, laws, crime and punishment...

Hear, hear.

The EUSSR has long, long overstayed its welcome.

Absolutely yes, sir. Thumbs up.

I’m reminded of the additional stanza to Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” penned by an author named “sbowell”:

“In the Multicultural Era we abolished the Curse of Race
By tumbling all the world’s peoples in a huge, wet group embrace.
But oil wouldn’t mix with water, and strife was the fruit of our labours,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said, ‘Good fences make good neighbours.’”
