Turkey to EU: mind your own business

This is heartening. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told the European Union on Friday to mind your own business. This was in response to EU interference and hectoring about Turkey's desire to pass a law making adultery a crime. Naturally, the pantywaist liberals in the Liberal media promptly trotted out the womens' groups to protest this codification of Turkish morality. The Internationalists around the globe had hardly stopped cheering when it looked like they might prevail in derailing another demonstration of national sovereignty. What the cheering did was make Turkey dig in and now plans for a new penal code in conformity with the EU have been delayed.

Whether or not you agree with the the proposed law, the Left Liberals in Europe have gotten their way too long. Ultimately member states have to ask if it is possible to pass any laws that aren't pre-screened by the European Union and the slavish world press?

This is the second time the pantyhose men in the Hague have been slapped down in the last month. The last time it was by Putin.

Dutch proverb: Sweep before your own door before you look after your neighbour's.
