ON New Yearâs Eve, in the shadow of Cologneâs cathedral, crowds of North African and Middle Eastern men accosted women out for the nightâs festivities. They surrounded them, groped them, robbed them. Two women were reportedly raped.
Though there were similar incidents from Hamburg to Helsinki, the authorities at first played down the assaults, lest they prove inconvenient for Angela Merkelâs policy of mass asylum for refugees.
That delay has now cost Cologneâs police chief his job. But the German government still seems more concerned about policing restless natives â most recently through a deal with Facebook and Google to restrict anti-immigrant postings â than with policing migration. Just last week Merkel rejected a proposal to cap refugee admissions (which topped one million last year) at 200,000 in 2016.

"But the German government still seems more concerned about policing restless natives â most recently through a deal with Facebook and Google to restrict anti-immigrant postings." Facebook and Google can't just exist, they have to along with these liberal governments that try to tell how to think. They're nothing but a bunch of whores.....

to quote from a Norwegian curriculum for migrants, in Europe: to force someone into sex is not permitted.
A bullet to the brain of every Norwegian, Swedish, German and EU official... I do not see how any prescription less than that will have any meaningful effect.

So they are a “privileged criminal class?” This buffoon should be removed from office immediately.

many of these men carry assumptions about women's roles that are diametrically opposed to the values of contemporary Europe.Delicately put. Say, now did this heretic get into the New York Times? Are their gate guards on vacation?

If Jim chooses to allow them or not is his prerogative.

"
That means closing Germany's borders to new arrivals for the time being."
The NY Times: Calling for Banning Muslims. I assume 'until they can get a handle on the situation.'
- Duh
- How many articles did you write tearing apart Trump for saying exactly this? For tearing apart any American who suggested something so racist?
I can't believe I just read that in that paper. Just checked to make sure I wasn't making it up in my head.

I agree. The word Mussolini needs to become a verb, as in:
It is time to mussolini Merkel and all the top leaders of Germany, Norway, Sweden and the EU.

Angela is waiting for Germans to start killing "immigrants" so she can start killing Germans.
Analogous to what Obola is doing.

Oh, those Germans.
Remember how they didn’t want a “Cowboy” US President?
They wanted us to have a more European President like Obama.
Somebody who would talk a lot.
Well, Obama does talk a lot.
Now the Germans have a stampede on their land.
Obama? Well, he wants to talk about it.
He doesn’t want to get his petticoat dirty.
Bet they’re wishing they had a cowboy now.
Giddy up, meine damen.

A head transplant for the Merkle might be just the prescription to save Germany. Attach Medusa. It will send them packing to Medina.
