#2 "The government do not trust people with documented pro-EU views."

And here's a book that tells you why you shouldn't.

#3 Out of step with the EU? One might better ask if the Poles are one of the few members of the EU that have a clue. Funny how the the eastern European countries that had close encounters with the fUSSR have a better grasp of what tyranny is all about.

#4 Poland got into the EU because of the trade possibilties (same as us). They didn't get into it to have their culture and sovereignty handed over to a bunch of shysters in Brussels and Strasbourg.

I wonder if this could be the beginning of the end?

GW, if you want to really screw the EU, start offering places in NAFTA to countries in Europe ;)

#6 I think Poland got the Most Favored Nation status a few years back. They know what it feels like to be abandoned by the west and are now firmly in charge of their future. Don't expect them to give in on anything.

#7 How undemocratic of the elites to define "EU values" without putting it to a vote. What is the Politburo afraid of?

Exactly Tony, and the US should definitely be redirecting trade (tariffs should be used to advance national policy) from enemies (e.g. China who is arming NK, Pakistan, and Iran with ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons) to spur economic growth and open government with those who want to be our friends. In addition, the US should help eastern Europe and the former USSR republics to become energy independent from Russia by financing 3-4 dozen large nuclear reactors. As long as they are dependent on Moscow to not freeze or power their industry, then they will never be independent. The same goes for the US energy independence and it's cheaper than what the US doing now.

#8 The clash of values between the new Polish government and the liberal elites who have long dominated the social policies of the European Union is becoming serious.

Much could be said about Americans after they threw off the yoke of their former masters in 1776 too.

#9 Outstanding book, BP. For those without the time to read it (fascinating, but very dense), visit the author's blog, EU Referendum, the first to note the discrepanices in the MSM pictures from Qana.

#10 "Are Poles out of EU step?"

The Poles are just fine. The EU, however, is out of step with reality.
