'You Are Part of Germany, But Also Part of Our Great Turkey'

Thousands of Turkish immigrants gave Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan a rock star welcome in Germany on Sunday in a show of national pride that remains fervent, even after decades spent in Germany. He told them they remain part of Turkey, and urged them to integrate into German society -- but not to assimilate.

The lyric keeps echoing around the hall in Düsseldorf. "The land belongs to us all." The sentence isn't referring to Germany, but to Turkey.

[Pearls Before Swine]

“Greater Germany” was a phrase that brought trouble in the 1940’s. “Greater Turkey” is about getting the band back together for the reprise of the Ottoman Empire.

An Austian PM’s response (I think it is from December of last year).

I sure we we had someone like this is Washington (Allen West, perhaps) How about in the UN? (won’t hold my breath).

Oh the irony.

He told them they remain part of Turkey, and urged them to integrate infiltrate into German society -- but not to assimilate, procreate, and then take it over.

Properly translated.

This sucks.

So here we find out that Texas has about 10 years or so till it becomes a LaRaza colony and the convervatives in Texas lose this state forever.

Now we hear how Germany is becoming a colony of Turkey.

Most European nations and colonial nations like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, are being demographically replaced and changed.

Soon all conservatives will have is a little pocket of land somewhere in Utah the way things are going.

[Max in Utah]

I doubt it'll be in my part of Utah, way things are going.
