8. The half-truths of the regressive left never cease to amuse me:

He's bringing up Hungary as an example?
Hungary?
Hungary that has seen a move towards racism and fascism for years now?
Hungary that is doing its darn best to make life as horrible as possible for gypsies?

And then the author tries to pass off Hungary as an average country upset with the EU?
The current political climate of Hungary is dominated by racist nationalists!!! Of course they are upset about immigrants coming to Europe!!!

And if a nationalist and fascist government like Orban's lambasts the EU for "not protecting european values", what kinds of values is he talking about?
And what does it say about the EU that a fascist nationalist is angry with it?





But then, getting too much into facts would have ruined the story the author wanted to write.
