Czech president compares EU to Soviet Union

"He said current EU practices smacked of communist times when the Soviet Union controlled much of eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic and when dissent or even discussions were not tolerated.

'Not so long ago, in our part of Europe we lived in a political system that permitted no alternatives and therefore also no parliamentary opposition,' said Klaus. 'We learned the bitter lesson that with no opposition, there is no freedom.'"

This is the absolute truth. There is "no freedom" when government, schools, workplaces, etc, permit "no alternatives" or "opposition". And this is exactly what the politically correct crowd is all about pushing here in America, as they do everyday.
