German Chancellor Angela Merkel 's conservatives suffered their second electoral blow in two weeks on Sunday, slumping to their lowest level since reunification in 1990 in a Berlin city vote in which citizens roundly rejected her open-door refugee policy.

She is an Easterner and was a Communist in her youth. She may or may not have put away her youthful enthusiasms.

Turning the merkel out of office is, unfortunately , a case of closing the barn door after the horses are gone.

The Germans don’t like the iron rations Stasi Angie is serving up any more than American school children like Mooch’s food.

“Angst”? The writer can’t be serious. Resentment against wide-spread, public sexual assaults that are covered up by the very government entrusted to protect its citizens isn’t “angst”, nor is concern that the further open door policy will make the problem worse.

It doesn’t seem possible that a person could do what Merkel did out of stupidity. The degree of stupidity it would take for her to open her country up to a Muslim invasion of murdering and raping Jihadists just doesn’t seem possible, so what’s going on here?

My best guess would be she was bribed by the Saudis and Frau Merkel now has a Swiss bank account that would rival Frau Clinton’s.

European definition of “Conservative” is somewhat different than our own...

True.... I can’t divulge much...But i know a lot of Germans and they explain a lot of their politics....Most of the culture there are still trying to make amends for WW2. It’s sad...they tell me of refugees knocking on doors and asking for food....We don’t get the real story here.

The western world owes the British a debt of gratitude for leading the way by showing that it’s okay and not racist while also being anti-open borders.

What makes that broad cling so tenaciously to the idea of flooding Germany with violent Islamists? What’s her end game?

Confirmed. I have a friend (converted to friend after my attempts to date her failed) who is German who explained much the same thing.

She came to America for opportunity and freedom, then fled back to Germany when she found opportunities to be equal and our freedoms eroded too much.
