The European Betrayal of Democratic Values

EURSOC is today reporting on the scandalous betrayal of democratic values that is displayed by Europe and the liberal press with respect to the situation in Turkey.

Individual liberties being subordinate to the state - the vehicle of such events - are clearly secondary and only granted by the state, if it so wishes! Liberties are revokable at any time if the necessities of state demand it.
