So, I’m curious. What is the mood in Germany toward Angela Merkel about all this? It seems like she has rolled out the welcome mat without asking anyone.
The cultures of Austria and Germany are officially gone. They will fray around the edges at first—less clean, for starters.
Wonder how many of these fine refugees understand that their cursed religion they follow is at the heart of this problem.
We’ll see how long they are cheering these new arrivals.
It’s been my observation that mass movements of displaced
persons generally herald the opening of wars.

Yea, well you’re paying attention. Stop that.
Hopefully most of them end up as gunnery practice targets.
i have a gut feeling we are witnessing the beginning of the end of europe as we know it
The Hijrah Into Europe “Refugees” colonize a continent.

the bad part is once the eyes open it may very well be too late kind of like cancer once there are actual symptoms its too entrenched to beat
That picture says it all. Looks like a whole bunch of fighting age young males leaving behind the women and children to fend for themselves.
The EU should be welcoming all women and children refugees, shelter them in christian church sponsored shelters, and insist these so called men stay behind and fight to make their country safe for their women and children.
When they have made their country safe and habitable only then will the women and children be allowed to return. That is if they want to.
I tend to agree. Massive numbers of stateless, rootless males is going to be very destabilizing for whatever country they end up in.
Most of them were probably babies or toddlers when 9/11 happened. The age curve in Muslim nations trends very young. Most of them look to be in their 20’s and quite a few look to be in their teens
This is the odd part of the story.
Since Merkel has been around...no big scandals and no negative economy. Jobs are plentiful, and people are happy. She took the conservative party and absorbed the anti-nuke power agenda. She’s taken probably half of the liberal agendas and made them her own.
Right now...the liberal party is at the weakest point they’ve been in decades. The national election is in the fall of 2017. They don’t have any four-star characters to run against Merkel. Because of this...there’s a discussion that Merkel will finally bow out in 2017, and a new right-wing person will emerge and run instead of her.
Then the final odd ingredient of the current situation. I’d take a humble guess to say 25-to-35 percent of the population is fairly upset about the refugee situation, and another 20-percent is asking stupid questions (how many and how much will it cost). This smaller group might accept the majority story right now....but it’s awful weak. The government (using both a consolidated right and left wing situation to run the gov’t)....is doing a two-star job on management (hurting the SPD as much as it hurts the CDU).
For months (since April), they’ve been using tents to house half of the refugees. Well...September has arrived with chilly temperatures, and the tents won’t work (no, they didn’t buy the Army-type tent...just the cheap stuff). So, they got to make big decisions that will cost hundreds of millions....to house these guys over the winter. And more (probably 100,000 for Sep/Oct alone) will arrive. The number of 850,000 for 2015....I think will be wrong, and its bound to be 1.2 million coming in.
Ethically, the public thinks they are doing the right thing, and they thought that the other EU countries would take a big number of these guys. Well....they were wrong on that estimate. The thing is....even if the public gets angry....who do you really blame? There is no real border, and this what everyone demanded a decade ago.
