Germany's Merkel stands by refugee policy after 'terrifying' attacks
CNN ^ | 28 Jul 2016 | Angela Dewan and Jason Hanna

Posted on 07/28/2016 7:44:43 AM PDT by mandaladon

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday described recent attacks in the country and across Europe as "shocking, depressing and terrifying," but she refused to back down on her open-door refugee policy that has attracted fierce criticism following recent assaults in the country.

Germany has been rattled by four attacks in the past two weeks, three of which authorities say have been carried out by asylum seekers or refugees with inspiration from Islamist extremism.

The attacks have given way to mockery by some Germans as well as foreigners, who have dubbed the recent weeks of bloodshed on social media as #MerkelSommer, or even "Merkel's summer of slaughter

One Twitter user posted a pair of hands covered in blood, quoting Merkel with, "We have already accomplished a lot," using the #MerkelSommer hashtag. Merkel vowed to boost security and improve counterterrorism measures, but she stood firm on Germany's position of accepting nearly all asylum seekers found to be legitimate refugees.

Unless the German people rise up and rid themselves of Merkel and her functionaries, they are going to be subjugated and replaced in their own country. They will become a defeated people at the feet of their new Muslim masters.

The reason(if you can such insanity “reason”)liberals keep pushing this invasion, regardless of the consequences to their own children is that liberals don’t think. Lenin called them “useful idiots”. When our socialist, globalist overlords lose all use for them then the firing squads get busy.

You’re absolutely wrong. This is wanton and deliberate destruction of the West, and Merkel knows exactly what she is doing and fully approves of it, as does Obama, and will Hillary if elected.

Because libs think we have too much, and we, as a collective, need to share the bounty with those less fortunate.

What they do not and never will understand that it is not the physical location that determines our greatness and bounty, but the attitude.

Without the attitude, location means nothing.

Personally, I would be inclined to support exporting all libs to third world hell holes, sort of like the peace corps, but permanently.

Oh, I agree that this certainly is wanton and deliberate destruction of the West, and Merkel certainly knows what she is doing. The policy setters are not the idiots. I should have qualified my remarks. Its the street level liberals who are the useful idiots. They’re are puppets on our overlords’ strings. Right now our masters need them. Hilllary is no idiot. She’s evil, as is Obama.

I’m surprised Merkel wasn’t asked to speak at the DNC, along with all the other PC idiots.

The government is suppressing news reports of mass Muslim sexual assaults, one event at an anti-racism concert no less.
Then it arrests people part of an anti-immigrant Facebook group for inciting hatred.

When the reputation of the rapists matters more than the rapes, the government has lost all legitimacy.

She should be immediately arrested and put on trial for treason against Germany and German’s citizens.

The Muslims are a tool to get rid of us, then they will get rid of the Muslims. All while they hide underground in their precious tunnels with their precious families. But you can’t fool God.
