The Poles No Longer a Joke

The Polish Government announced today that, in response to yesterday's horrific bombings in Brussels, it would not resettle 7,000 Muslim immigrants. The action rescinded the agreement by the previous government of Poland to help resettle them.

Lest we forget or are too young to remember, it was the Poles, led by Lech Walesa and Pope John Paul II, who courageously and resolutely led to the dissolution of the Soviet empire. And now the Poles are manning the Gates of Vienna against the Muslim hordes, in sharp contrast to their sniveling, politically correct European brethren.

The dead, bloodied, and mangled in Brussels, Paris, and elsewhere to come are victims of the moral relativism and nihilistic worldview to which the governing elites of Europe blindly pay homage.

Tragically, the Poles are no longer a joke.

A lot of Polish jokes are rooted in American anti-Catholicism in the early twentieth century - like the Irish jokes from half a century earlier.

Thank you for informing those who are not aware of the history of the Polish people.

Thank you.I am in the process of writing a historical novel on Monte Cassino and the triumph and tragedy of the Polish II Corps, which I hope will get more Americans interested in Poland.
