Polish Leader's "Anti-Gay" Stance Threatens Poland's EU Voting Rights
From Guardian Unlimited:
Poland could lose its EU voting rights if its newly elected president continues to oppose gay rights and seeks to introduce the death penalty, the European Commission warned yesterday.My Comments:
In a shot across the bows of arch-conservative Lech Kaczynski, the commission declared that all member states must abide by EU rules which protect minorities and block the death penalty.
Failure to comply could trigger a special process under the Treaty of Nice which deprives errant member states of their voting rights in ministerial meetings. "We are going to follow the situation very attentively," the principal commission spokesman, Jonathan Todd, said yesterday.
The commission intervened after Mr Kaczynski, the Law and Justice party candidate, was confirmed as the winner of Sunday's second round in the Polish presidential election with 54% of the vote. Donald Tusk, a more moderate conservative from the pro-market Civic Platform party, won 46% of the vote.

You just knew the anti-Christian zealots in the EU wouldn't sit idly by while a devout Catholic with pro-US sentiments was elected President of Poland.

But why should anti-gay bigots be allowed a free hand to terrorize lawful citizens and deny them basic human rights, as Kaczynski did when he was mayor of Warsaw, and now seems set to do as president of Poland?
Just because someone is a catholic does not mean that they have to be a political caveman at the same time.
And don't for one minute think that all Poles are as barbarian as Kacz...they are actually very civilised people.
