Read Prof. Ronald Smith's comments. They are delightful.

The global warming crowd says it's Bush's fault.

The Zionist Christians say it's Bush's fault.

The Islamist Jihadists say it's Bush's fault.

The Democrats say it's Bush's fault.

Millions of idiots can't be wrong.

I always thought it was "dum easel" (Then again, I left Germany when I was 5, so, ther ya' go)

At least one socialist bastard offered a token bit of aid along with his mockery. These guys don't even bother with that much. Give me an enemy like Venezuela instead of a friend like Germany any day of the week.

One of the Kennedy brats (the congresscritter) said pretty much the same thing. Bastards!

As a first generation American with German and Dutch blood flowing in my veins, you cannot honestly refute my assertion that there is a German tendency to didacticism. Thank you, mein damen und herren, for your moral instruction in an hour of tragic human suffering in one of the poorer quarters of the U.S. Would that the typical American resorted to such elitism 50 years ago in Deutschland's hour of need. How long would Berlin have sustained itself on self-righteousness had America loaded its C47's with similar platitudes, back in 1948? If you have nothing more to add in this hour of human suffering; I ask you, most respectfully, to please shut up. Thank you. - Peter E. Dykhuis Alexandria, Virginia

Who would have thought that so much sensibility could be found in Alexandria.

Those were the "more polite" comments. I can imagine what the rest read like.

Trittin is a self-righteous, sanctimonious, ignorant boor. Those are the nicest things I can say about him.

Maybe the world wouldn't be so warm if we hadn't had to devote billions of gallons of gasoline and diesel oil to blasting the Third Reich to ashes and then keeping the Soviets at bay for nearly half a century.

Boy, the good Professor really burned the Germturds "a new one", didn't he??!!

This article displays the sort of compassion that I would expect from a country that's started 2 world wars, sold weapons to iraq for oil, side-stepping UN sanctions, then has the gall to take a self-exalted moral high ground. Germany is my heritage, of this I am not proud.

Started two world wars...

Sold weapons to Iraq for oil...

Claims the moral high ground.

Yep, that about sums it up.

Well, as a somewhat conservative being (which might still be far to the left of the conservatism of the Republicans for instance), it's increasingly becoming difficult to live in Germany and not become totally frustrated by the antiamericanism voiced by members of the Bundestag.

The election on the 18th just HAS to be won by the CDU, otherwise I cannot imagine to continue to live in this country anymore, with IDIOTS like Trittin being our "leaders" (the word is so laughable for this half-witted, dogmatic grandpa).

As there was a point in having Kohl go away in 1998 by electing Schroeder, after 7 years you could sum it up as a total desaster. The left and especially the green party are just not capable of running a country. That was a lesson learned a hard way for the germans, and it definitely has to stop this month, if just to save the tiny bit reputation of Germany being a freedom-loving country.

If you are German and not anti-american, or even just a little pro the Iraq war (because it's always a good thing to rid a country of a dictator, regardless of WMDs), you cannot safely voice this opinion in Germany anymore, because the chance that some leftist bully-type stepping up to you and giving you physical harm is too high. Yep, it's that bad.

Why doesn't the US allow people from Germany to move there, if they share so many more of those values than their own country's ? You really have to get rid of that green card bs...

If you want to tell Jürgen what you think of his elitist crap, this is his email address:

juergen.trittin@bundestag.de

Being the charming, easy-going lefty that he is, he probably reads all the mail himself..LOL

[Shery]

THANKS FOR THE POST! TRITTEN MAY HAVE SINGLE-HANDEDLY UNITED AMERICANS ACROSS THIS VAST LAND, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL VIEWS!

"Sh!t'n" Trittin
