Leftist Prime Minister Robert Fico won Slovakia's general elections on Saturday on the back of a strident anti-refugee platform. Fico vowed to "never bring even a single Muslim to Slovakia" and filed a lawsuit against an EU-wide plan to redistribute refugees across the bloc.

Hard to believe that Western Europe is so effectively NEUTERED that REAL MEN can now only win in Eastern Europe.

“Left” and “right” are pretty meaningless at this point. Descriptive terms like “commiepuke” and “globalist” are better. It’s going to get harder to put people in little political boxes any more, and that is a good thing.
