Cheering German crowds greet refugees after long trek from Budapest to Munich
The Guardian ^ | 5 September 2015 | Emma Graham-Harrison

In pouring rain, they crossed the last few metres into Austria in the early hours of Saturday morning. The waiting Austrian police in their heavy waterproofs were taken aback by the refusal of the Hungarian bus drivers to take their passengers the last two kilometres over the border and on to the Nickelsdorf train station where they were expected, and where a Vienna-bound train was waiting.

I totally understand the desire of the Germans to help the less fortunate. That is a noble thing.

But it is also true that when you subsidize something, you get more of it. Preserving cultural identity aside, can Germany (and Austria) afford what it is evidentally doing here?

Load them all on the trains, seal them, and send them back to Turkey or whatever the nearest muslim drop off point is. And mount machine guns on the roof of the train cars so when you drop them off, they can’t get back on, then leave. This should be going on everywhere in what’s left of the West.

Apparently the Hungarians are the only ones with a lick of sense.

I wonder what the mood is in EAST Germany.

Former Communist Countries tend to appreciate their Freedom more because many of them remember what it was like without them.

American Protected West Germany and Austria for so long (I know Austria isn't in NATO but you didn't consider it aligned with the Easter Bloc did you?) that they don't know any better.

It is like the Leftist here in this Country, they are protected by the Police and Military they hate so much, so they can undermine their very same protectors.

Because they truly don't know what it is like to not have their liberty.

Many on the right also do not truly know what it is like to have Freedom denied to you (I know I sure don't) but we at least see and appreciate the fact that hasn't happened.

Good point. The Guardian loves an exciting headline, and that should be taken into consideration here.

All of this commotion and tragedy of humanity was caused by one man, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama. When Obama made fun of ISIS, calling them a JV team and when Obama pulled all of our miltary folks out of Iraq....it doomed both Americans, Europeans, Arabs & Christians, Jews to torture, slaughter of men, women & children across the Middle East!!! Obama and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, all have bood dripping from their cruel hands. When the USA POTUS does not lead....chaos rules!!! To me...Obama is just Satan in POTUS clothes!!!

Just wait until they (the Germans) get a great, big stinking boatload of this:

"Another aspect of Arabic society is the scorn of honest, steady manual work, especially agricultural work. This is a consequence of the fusion of at least three ancient influences. First, the archaic bureaucratic structure of Asiatic despotism, in which the peasants supported the warriors and scribes, regarded manual workers, especially tillers of the soil, as the lowest layer of society, and regarded the acquisition of literacy and military prowess as the chief roads to escape from physical drudgery. Second, the fact that Classical Antiquity, whose influence on the subsequent Islamic civilization was very great, was based on slavery, and came to regard agricultural (or other manual) work as fit for slaves, also contributed to this idea. Third, the Bedouin tradition of pastoral, warlike nomads scorned tillers of the soil as weak and routine persons of no real spirit or character, fit to be conquered or walked on but not to be respected. The combination of these three formed the lack of respect of manual work that is so characteristic of the Pakistani-Peruvian axis."

"Somewhat similar to this lack of respect for manual work are a number of other aspects of traditional Arab life that have spread the length of the Pakistani-Peruvian axis. The chief source of many of these is the Bedouin outlook, which originally reflected the attitudes of relatively small group of the Islamic culture but which, because they were a superior, conquering group, came to be copied by others in the society, even by the despised agricultural workers. These attitudes include lack of respect for the soil, for vegetation, for most animals, and for outsiders. These attitudes, which are singularly ill-fitted for the geographic and climatic conditions of the whole Pakistani-Peruvian area, are to be seen constantly in the everyday life of that area as erosion, destruction of vegetation and wild life, personal cruelty and callousness to most living things, including one’s fellow men, and a general harshness and indifference to God’s creation. This final attitude, which well reflects the geographic conditions of the area, which seem as harsh and indifferent as man himself, is met by those men who must face it in their daily life as a resigned submission to fate and to the inhumanity of man to man."
From Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, The Pakistani-Peruvian Axis

Well, they could confiscate all the hunting rifles and shotguns in private hands. That would probably solve the problem.

I have to wonder what the reception would be if a million middle eastern Jews were attempting to seek refuge in Germany.

That's a good point. there are many reasons why this current migration is so very different from the migration to the US around from the early 1900’s.

Back then, the US had plenty of work available for unskilled workers. That is certainly not the case in Europe today.

Just on style points alone, I don’t see the Germans loading people on trains. They’ve tried that and it didn’t end so well.

I think you've hit on a key point here. Today's Germans are very sensitive of their Nazi past. So they make destructive choices, just to distance themselves from hints of that past.
