This is the results of giving intolerant and bias liberal/socialists the authority to change people's lives according to their own whim.

often true but what about the Greek socialists?
"The Greek Socialist members of the European Parliament refused to vote in favor of the proposal."

IMO southern European socialists tend to be less obsessed with PC nuttiness, although they're still useless.

This is basically a turf war.

Socialists are still Socialists, and in that respect the Greek Socialists are no different than any other. But all politics are local and the conditions, in Greece, that gave the monks their freedom from Greek Socialists doesn't apply to EU Socialists in another country. So, the Greeks aren't as worried about the monks as they are about outsiders delving into Greek politics.

Socialists aren't concerned with freedoms - just with ideology. As good Socialist foot soldiers the Greeks will eventually fall into line with their EU brethren and bargain away the monk's freeedom in the better interest of the EU Socialist state.
