Merkel: In This Day and Age States Must Be Ready to Give Up Sovereignty
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11-23-2018 | Jim Holt

Germany, a country of 82 million, welcomed from 800,000 to over one million migrants and unvetted “refugees” in 2015.

Mrs Merkel, who last month announced she was controversially stepping down as leader of her party but not as Chancellor of Germany despite previously saying the two roles go hand in glove, said ceding power to a superstate is a better form of patriotism.

She told the event, titled ‘Parliamentarianism Between Globalisation and National Sovereignty’: “In this day nation states must today – should today, I say – be ready to give up sovereignty.

“But of course in an orderly procedure.”

Mrs Merkel said that countries who think “they can solve everything on their own” are simply nationalistic and not patriotic because they “only think about themselves.”

She said: “Either you are one of those who believe they can solve everything on their own and only have to think about themselves. That is nationalism in its purest form.

“This is not patriotism. Because patriotism is if you include others in the German interest and accept win-win situations.”

People like her are pushing the world to a conflict unlike any that has ever occurred before. She should be in prison, not machinating the destruction of nations.

Boy is she a dingbat.

Nation states?

Does the daughter of Hitler want to start with Germany first?

Merkel says, “Give it up!”

But, to whom? Any puffed up entity that comes along and claims it, like the EU or the UN?

Or, pan-national Islam?

Or, World Communism (less likely at the moment)?

Her entire statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Patriotism and Nationalism go hand in hand and it’s very difficult if not impossible to have one without the other.

“Nation states today...must be ready to give up sovereignty.”

With Germany in charge of course.

So now the Left is seeking to redefine the meaning of “patriotism.”

I should be stunned by their ceaseless dishonesty, but nothing about them surprises me anymore.

They’re filthy bullies through and through.
