Strong gains for Germany’s anti-immigration party
The Rebel ^ | March 14, 2016 | Ezra Levant

Posted on 03/14/2016 4:54:46 PM PDT by OddLane

Over the weekend there were elections in three German states. And a new anti-immigration party, called the AfD, did incredibly well, especially for a party that didn’t exist just a few years ago. The AfD is led by Franke Petry. She’s young, attractive and entrepreneurial, with a PhD in chemistry.

Strangely enough, Angela Merkel also has a degree in chemistry. But that’s where their similarities end.

Merkel is 61; she’s a career politician, having spent 25 years at it. But the biggest difference isn’t just that Petry is a generation younger. It’s this: Petry has four kids; Merkel has none.

And what a reassurance, to know that Germans do not agree with what’s being done to them and are no longer willing to be scared of being called “racist," simply for believing in borders, and opposing rape culture, and the de-Germanization of Germany.

But have you noticed that the AfD is being called “far right”?

Is a party that now places second or third throughout Germany really "far right," from a statistical point of view?

Wasn’t Merkel born and raised in communist East Germany?

Germans don’t want to get raped by the refugees?? Why are they so racist. Time to make another movie about Hitler I guess.

AfD in Germany like UKIP in Britain. They are similar. Far Right is in the eyes of the beholder. Frauke Petry is like Nigel Farage in a miniskirt. Smart lady.

Merkel's career goes back a lot further than that. She was active in Communist Party agitprop.

Yes, that's the other working theory, i.e. she was raised in an environment where you couldn't test the validity of any political or economic ideas in the marketplace.

Which would explain (partially) why she refuses to retreat from her current stance, i.e. welcome the millions of invaders swarming central Europe.

The wonderful German people have awakened and now realized that they got screwed. I predicted this.

Also worth noting is that the even more Leftist Social Democrats had an even worse night than Merkel and her “Christian” Democrats. The conservative revolution happening all across Europe is soon going to happen in the US, as well.

Contrast this with Kasick’s comment today that “illegals are created in the image of the Lord”. I can almost taste the bile. If K said half the things during the debates he has said in the past co of days in Ohio, then he would not have made it to the point of the last debate.

In Germany the average RINO in America would be considered far right.
