Totally biased article. Imagine blaming the protesters’ motivation on the Communist rule in their past. The nerve. Total hogwash. The critics’ delicate sensibilities prevent them from saying “Nazi” so they trot out a pastor and pull out a different negative term, but “Nazi” is what they mean and what Merkel has such unwarranted fear of. The article goes right ahead and says it. Unconscionable mudslinging.

“An electrician,” “a construction engineer,” as if these occupations negate any political opinions.

We have no-go zones in California and Texas. We need to get rid of these as soon as possible.

It was leftists who led Germany down the path of xenophobia the last time they went there, and it will be leftists who take them there if they go again.

Protecting one’s country from an actual foreign invasion is NOT xenophonia.

Maybe, just maybe, the Germans have seen this ideology before?

Never again!
