We never have held Germany quite accountable for World War II. Right after the war - we had to adopt them as allies to combat the Soviets in the Cold War. That's over. They sink or swim now. Squeeze the frikkin' bastards or chuck them over the side to swim with the sharks. I'm sick of their whining, self-serving traitorism.

P.S. I have nothing against the German people - but if they persist with this government - I have EVERYTHING against the German people.

There has been a hardcore anti-American and pro-Marxist strain in western Germany. It has dominated the left leadership ever since the days of Willy Brandt (and his Marxist secretary and spy for East Germany). Don't expect gratitude from Fischer and his bunch for the sacrifices Americans have made on their behalf. You won't get it.
