Celebratory candy and sweet pastry abound. And naturally Deputy Prime Minister B\u00fclent Ar\u0131n\u00e7 is worried about decay. No, not tooth decay, moral decay. And so he spoke out about moral decay, ignoring the fact that he and his American-puppet partners have destroyed any aspect of secular democracy in Turkey and in its neighbor countries. And that they sponsor one of the most brutal, barbaric gangs ever assembled to slaughter, rape, behead and crucify innocent people\u2026well, it must have slipped the deputy prime minister\u2019s mind. What also slipped his mind was the fact that his party members in general, and the prime minister and his cronies in particular, have surely set unofficial Guinness world records in immorality. But our intrepid deputy prime minister dropped neither tear nor syllable about these inconveniently immoral truths.<\/p>\n<p>Instead he spoke of the moral decay caused by women laughing in front of anyone, that is, in public. What is indeed decadent is how this sanctimonious religion-mongering ruling party uses any excuse to give stupid advice. Not only shouldn\u2019t women laugh in public, they should not display their attractiveness. \u201cTheir\u201d women have certainly achieved the latter. As far as their laughter, who noticed? But laughing in public as being an offense? This is hilariously pathetic. Who writes the speeches for these people?<\/p>\n<p>This deputy prime minister is famous for spewing crocodile tears at the hint that moisture might be required. He is also famous for his melodramatics in the hoax that was Ergenekon. His histrionics regarding imagined assassination attempts were epic. Adding further moral disgrace to his ill-repute, he had also given his moral judgment that in Ergenekon \u201cTurkey is cleaning its intestines.\u201d That the whole Ergenekon-Balyoz affair that destroyed the Turkish military and the nation\u2019s security system was a phony also escaped his moral decay concerns. That his own party has admitted it, also eluded him. His no-laughing-in-public agenda item is the sickest joke of all. Except for the following.<\/p>\n<p>That he lied\u2026that he cooperated with the Gulen movement\u2026that he was complicit in treason\u2026that he collaborated with the CIA\u2026all this has escaped his moral compass. And all this has escaped the moral compass of his \u201cpious\u201d followers who pride themselves on their religious piety. Such weirdness! To have a piety with so little to do with morality and so much to do with decay.<\/p>\n<p>But take heart. The deputy prime minister also feels that teenage sex addiction is caused by certain TV programs. And that this causes violence to women. And therefore, women should never laugh in public and should look as ugly as possible in public. A brilliant policy indeed. In short, the deputy prime minister wants all of us to look like them\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Gentlemen! Ladies! Children of all ages! On the count of three, let us together give the deputy prime minister a great big public laugh.
