International socialists reward other international socialists for undermining their nations for the cause.

Only leaders who support and defend their nations deserve to be remembered and honored. International socialists deserve to become the forgotten mulch of history, unremembered and unloved.

WHAT????!!!!!

That's an absurd nomination. I had this crazy nightmare thought: That would be like nominating Obama for some sort of Peace Prize or something because he was not GW Bush or even more insane, Yassir Arfart, or and this is hard to imagine, Nelson Mandela or Bishop Desmond Tutu or even this insane proposal, Muhammad Baredei former head of the IAEA. Come on, some one is pulling my leg. Next thing you know Jesse “scumbag” Jackson will be nominated for high office. Merkel?? The destroyer of European civilization? It just can't be... Oh wait! These events have transpired in the past! I thought I was dreaming...

TIME can put anyone they want on their cover page and it will not matter one iota in the world.

TIME is a senile, old goat.

What's with the Times affinity with all things that are communist in nature. Like E. Germany, Castro, Stalin, etc.?

"TIME Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs revealed that the woman who courted controversy in 2015 by opening her nation's border to hundreds of thousands ..."

Not unlike what Hitler did, but without losing a war first.

This time I don't think Germany will survive. Pity, I'll miss the cars, the beer and the cuckoo clocks. (Fortunately, they make the cars in the US and Mexico now.)

A hardline proponent of browning of Germany and all of Europe - who would have thought that this former East German Communist Stasi agent would rise to the position she has and also be Time’s Person of the Year.

“By viewing the refugees as victims to be rescued rather than invaders to be repelled, the woman raised behind the Iron Curtain gambled on freedom.”

Rome tried that with the Visigoths and they lost the gamble...

The "Person of the Year" is invariably just "the liberal who did the most to screw things up."
