Perhaps Angela Merkel should be on trial for being insane.

And for murder.

The iron fist of Deutschland comes down on the citizen, but allows the unfettered entry of foreign Islamic invaders.

I don’t think she is insane. She is deliberately deconstructing European society to pave the way for the NWO Muslim soldiers.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, you are insane because your policies and behavior show you to be insane.

There is a lesson there on careless talk. Whether or not he was correct (is Kerkel insane or merely evil?), a prudent person in Germany would keep constantly aware of whether he was skirting or even crossing the lines on “criminal” speech. Freedom’s enemies penetrate groups where honest speech from the other side is likely to take place and then prosecute comments like this. The same is true in the United States. Even (especially) on FR, at the range, at protests against the Bureau of Land Management, and in Tea Party gatherings, we should never forget that ugly truth.

Heil Hitler! As they say. Someone needs to stick a fork in Germany, they’re done as a country. I thought we were close to the line before this election, but unless the German people kick out Merkel and her henchmen, Germany will be a Muslim majority country in a decade, two tops.

She is insane.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. She, and the rest of the leftist-globalists are insane.

It’s good to see that the German people are finally waking up to this.
