President Obama, who would open the floodgates to hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees if he could, praised Germany’s Angela Merkel this week for being on the “right side of history” in regards to accepting immigrants. At a speech in Hannover on Monday, the president was effusive in his admiration.
“She is giving voice to the kinds of principles that bring people together rather than divide them,” Obama said, taking a not-so-subtle shot at conservative Europeans who are warning of an Islamic invasion.
Because Obama has faced strong opposition to an influx of Syrians into the U.S., the German press accused him of hypocrisy. Der Spiegel, an influential German paper, pointed out that Germany had accepted nearly twice as many refugees over the last year despite being four times as small.
“It is a pity that the chancellor could not turn to him when she needed help with the refugee crisis,” the paper wrote.
What’s more pitiful, actually, is that we don’t have a president willing to explain to the German chancellor the folly of her ways. Instead, we have a president who is simultaneously wrong and embarrassingly weak. He’s supposed to be the most powerful man in the world; instead he mopes around Europe, wishing he had the time and the skill to turn America into the socialist, open-bordered paradise he envisioned eight years ago.
If anything, the plight of Germany today is a clear, red warning about the future of the United States under liberal leadership. Germans are losing their culture and their economy – to say nothing of their safe streets – to Muslims who have absolutely no interest in western assimilation. They are being brainwashed into believing that to have pride in your country is to be a Nazi. And of course, they are predisposed to fear that kind of nationalism for good reason.
But Hitler’s stain on human history was not born out of an inappropriate level of patriotism; it was born out of a monstrous thirst for power and a maniacal hatred of the Jews. To make comparisons between today’s cautious right-wing political parties and the Nazis is to assume that any level of cultural protectiveness is automatically dangerous.
Unfortunately, by taking this position, Germany and other European liberals risk inviting the very trouble they are trying to avoid. The more they clamp down on free speech, the more hostile the opposition will become. And if we replace Obama with Hillary Clinton, these trends will develop in the U.S. as well.
Germans and Americans: get your chores done by taking out the trash!
0bama and Merkel are bringing people together: Muslim rapists and innocent victims!
Long past time to bat these two and the political parties they represent out of the park!
Of course he does. It’s his purpose. Make Islam in charge world wide.
Where is the democracy there? The majority of Germans don’t want the Muzzys there. Maybe it’s time for the Wehrmacht to take over. Not democratic but where is German democracy now?
Well DUH!.... allowing a nation to be destroyed by the influx of Islamic terrorists would be right up there in the mind of our POS muslim brotherhood leader in the White House! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Yeah says it all about th Allah worshipper.
They are both the same. Both are fascists who hate their countries and are willing to bow down to kiss the ground around muzzies because muzzies are a fast-growing voting and contribution block, while normal people are not having babies and are dying out.
Not only that, but they eagerly finance muzzies popping out little future jihadis by taking money from normal people who now have no money to afford having little normal children.
I have to just get used to saying it i guess, since trumps coming.
If it’s good enough for my president, it’s good enough for me, please pass the lube.
I have noting against Islam or against any religion for that matter...but there is absolutely nothing I’ve seen in my life that assures me that Islam is compatible with Democracy. Islamic countries are all brutal dictatorships. Women haze zero rights. The Mosque’s dominate the culture and if you don’t go with the company line, off with your head.
People aren’t worried about Islam, they are worried about losing their human rights based democracy. Politicians such as Obama conflate protecting democracy with being Islamophobic. Again, this is why unconventional politicians like Trump are doing well. Obama is supposed to be protecting democracy, not giving anti democratic forces a foothold in our society.
8 more months of that idiot. Hold on tight.
C’mon....Even Merkel says she was nuts to take them all in.
I think he likes Reggie Love giving it to him hard. It’s all part of his perverse world view. He also likes the idea of German blonds of any sex getting raped by middle eastern Muslim men.
Obama and Merkel. Working to destroy Western civilization, one “migrant” at a time.
