Angela Merkel is Destroying Europe

The Week ^ | 12/26/16 | Michael Brendand Dougherty

It would be nice to see her tried for treason.

Maybe they still execute for that, there.

[Amish with an attitude]

These people need a Trump moment.

[headstamp 2]

These idiots are not doing anything for the humanitarian crisis. Migration solves nothing.

Safe zones need to be established in the conflict areas with the intent of these people returning home.

[OddLane]

I hope so, although I'm deeply skeptical.

That country seems consumed by ethno-masochism.

[datricker]

And gallows seem to be in order. She is so guilty of being an accomplice to multiple homicides. That she was repeatedly warned this is was would happen makes it premeditated

Michael Brendan Dougherty seems to suffer from multiple personality disorder. One week he writes something worth reading (such as this article). The next week he writes like the typical NeverTrump GOP establishmentarian. Perhaps it depends on how much the editors at the Atlantic twist his arm and how much leeway they want to give their token “conservative.”

Dougherty agrees with a lot of the positions Donald Trump has taken, but he didn't trust Trump to be up to the job. He was also convinced Trump would lose by a large margin. He wasn't alone in any of that. Dougherty hasn't written for the Atlantic for several years.

Angela Merkel makes Neville Chamberlain look like a hero.

Dougherty agrees with a lot of the positions Donald Trump has taken, but he didn't trust Trump to be up to the job. He was also convinced Trump would lose by a large margin. He wasn't alone in any of that.

I was in the same boat when Trump first declared his candidacy, and he still says and does things that I find troubling, but it didn't take me long to stop and say, "Wait. Who else do we have? Trump isn't necessarily the best messenger, but at least there's someone out there getting the right message out." I supported Trump because no other candidate was talking about immigration and national sovereignty, and I think Dougherty should have done the same instead of breaking bread with NeverTrumpers in the establishment (such as praising Cruz's failure to endorse Trump at the GOP convention).

As for his concern that Trump would lose, it seems to me that the right message is the right message, whether it wins the election or not. It's true that Trump won by narrow margins in the swing states that carried him through and the outcome came as a surprise to me, but bad poll numbers aren't a good reason to abandon a candidate.

I still read Dougherty's op-eds sometimes because he's a decent writer and has good things to say. For all his flaws, I still prefer him to the trash that you get from National Review or the Weekly Standard.

I’m afraid it’s too late for France and Germany.
They are already past the tipping point.

It is too late for France and Germany unless the citizenry quickly resolves to put an end to this madness by electing candidates who (1) will order the immediate deportation of every single person (with their children) who was not admitted to the country with a valid passport from their country of origin, and (2) will order the imprisonment of every person previously deported who reenters the country after deportation.

[Impy]

My uncle has it right.

Go AFD.

[GOPsterinMA]

She’s walking vomit.

[angcat]

I can’t believe she is still breathing.

“...Angela Merkel makes Neville Chamberlain look like a hero....”

Neville Chamberlain, for all his faults, wasn’t INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy his country and his people. He was trying to save them from slaughter.

Merkel doesn’t have that noble an aspiration. She’s a leftover commie hack that managed to fool a bunch of people into putting her into power, and she’s shoving it up their collective arschlocks right now.

Hopefully, the Germans remember who they are and remove her.

[GOPsterinMA]

“Neville Chamberlain, for all his faults, wasn’t INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy his country and his people. He was trying to save them from slaughter.”

Exactly!!!

[NFHale]

Merkel is Germany’s version of Obama... except a lot less feckless.

With Teutonic efficiency, erasing a Country.

Neville Chamberlain, for all his faults, wasn’t INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy his country and his people. He was trying to save them from slaughter.

Chamberlain gets a bad rap. Having seen the waste of life that was the World War I, he did everything he could to avoid having Britain enter another one. He was (at worst) guilty of bad judgment, there is no doubting that his motives and aims were patriotic and noble.

In marked contrast, there is nothing patriotic or noble about Angela Merkel's motives or those of any EU-crat.

At least Hitler's dreamed of Third Reich never wanted to get rid of Western Civilization altogether. He wanted to pervert it but it would have still been western and still be European.

What Merkel is doing is far worse.

[central_va]

You man apply Romanian term limits to Merkel?

[central_va]

Where’s the 8th Air Force when you need it?

[angcat]

I can't believe this what has happened to the world this women she be in the grave. The Germans should be on the streets with guns killing these muzzies.
