Support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a right-wing party that backs a tough line on immigration, has risen to its highest level in nearly four months as an influx of refugees from the Middle East gathers pace, a poll showed on Tuesday.

[The majority of the German people are against this massive intake of migrants. As is the case in most of Europe, anyone who publicly expresses opposition to these policies of admitting huge numbers of migrants is branded a neo-Nazi and an extremist]

Sound like the politicians of Germany and of America are in cahoots as both ignore the public and citizens of their nations who know they are scum thieves and liars.

>> Could an angry backlash be growing in Germany?

Pray that we get a “three-fer” out of this upheaval:

1) Pushback against satan’s favorite false religion (piss be upon it);
2) A repudiation of the principles of socialism — now that the Yurpeans are seeing their precious socialism used against them to bankrupt and subjugate them;

and, most important of all —

3) Christian revival! They do happen, we know. “Upon this rock”, said JESUS the CHRIST, “I will build my church, and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT!” The victory is already ours.

Is this really a “right wing” party? Is being anti 7th century barbarian horde enough to be right wing? They always use this kind of terminology to paint groups such as this as evil, so that “normal” people will associate right wing with racism. Without knowing anything else about this group, I will bet their core beliefs are very left wing.

Exactly. The American public’s views about mass immigration have been ignored by both parties. Trump has demonstrated that you can be a “heretic” and win the public’s approval.

These krauts were actually CLAPPING when the refugees broke into the border. Damn idiots. Now they change their minds?

What is “right-wing” to the leftists at Reuters may not be right wing at all, but simply people who are alarmed at the easily foreseen consequences of allowing too many Muslims into the country.

The political elites think they're immune to the effects of the revolution they're formenting. So far they have been.

They never go away, really. One of my favorite stories from history is those arms makers in northern Italy. They've been around since the Crusades, when they made money arming both sides.

They are in the same place as the vaunted ‘merican militias are. With the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy ready to protect ‘mericans from...(name your enemy of choice today).

They will rise up and take to the streets and stop the governmental tyranny ...yada yada yada.

They are busy hunting Bambi after midnight with their new night-vision, thermal imaging rifle scopes.

They don't really exist...the left uses them to gin up their base and our side uses them to give us hope.

Ever seen more than a couple of dozen of the “militia saviors in one place...(other than saving grazing rights once)? Me neither. Maybe they are all at that the North Pole?

Genocidal infanticide, wholesale invasion, military folks getting blown away on our own soil, out of control government at all levels; and yet, no right-wing ‘merican militias to be found.

They are merely a fantasy.

The numbers clapping were very small. Merkel and the rest of the pols are trying to spin what is happening. They are basking in the glow of international approval for their "humanitarian" approach to the crisis.

Reality is setting in. I watch German news every day. The opposition to Merkel is growing as people start asking who is going to pay for all of this and why should Germany be stuck with all of these refugees. Many European countries have openly rejected the settlement of refugees in their country. There will be a major meeting of European countries next week on the refugee crisis.

The German politicians are changing their minds given the reaction of the people.

Cute she is — and a mom, and supposedly pretty smart.

That picture shows her with her hair at it’s longest. The chick has a thing for boy’s haircuts!

It’s a Euro thing, I guess. Still can’t hide her beauty.
