Bar none.

If helps Islam at the expense of Western Civilization, Time Magazine will celebrate it.

EXCERPT

At a moment when much of the world is once more engaged in a furious debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. To be welcoming. To be unafraid. To believe that great civilizations build bridges, not walls, and that wars are won both on and off the battlefield. 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. The pastor’s daughter wielded mercy like a weapon. You can agree with her or not, but she is not taking the easy road. Leaders are tested only when people don’t want to follow. For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is TIME’s Person of the Year.

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...

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.

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.
