“Chancellor of the ‘Free World’”

LOL - well, at least that sort of leaves Uhbama out of the traditional “leader of the FW” role, huh?

The worst selection in recent history.

Bar none.


Time’s Person Of The Year is really not an endorsement nor a negative - people think it means the “best person of the year” award - it just means the most newsworthy. Of course Time will praise Merkel to high heaven - but that is besides the point. Also, as an FYI - the Nobel Peace Prize if done right is not awarded to angels of our better nature alone - it can be awarded to the most vile warlord if the warlord chooses to accept a peace treaty, ends a war, etc.

Well, that’s the equivalent of making the Syrian Muz refugee or any Muz refugee the person of the year.

Merkel has had a huge impact in what Europe is today. Not necessarily for the good. The Iron Lady she is not.

I am pretty sure that Hitler was Person of the Year, at least once. Suspect she will also live in infamy for what she has done to Germany.
