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.”

No, just close all our bases and move all military equipment and US personnel out of Germany. After all, a new European army is going to be formed shortly.

I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat.

[GnuThere]

Was she supposed to say that out loud?

[Secret Agent Man]

Remember these people, they will be the ones we go to war against. in our own g-d country.

[Bernard Marx]

Haven’t you heard of Orwellian Newspeak? She’s putting it into actual, not fictional, use. Next I expect her to say “War is peace,” and “Hate is love,” etc.

[Secret Agent Man]

She should be dancing on the end of a rope. forget prison.

[rrrod]

Germany has declared...

[Migraine]

Come and take it!

[Mark17]

She talks exactly like the fictional character Nicolae Carpathia....

Maybe she wants to be his chief of staff. 😁

So basically it’s selfish to think of their country first. That is bad. Patriotism is to give your country’s resources and identity away. Yeah, keep telling yourself that Merkel. You’ve been corrupted and God knows what else.

[FLT-bird]

No. We need to mind our own business, look out for our own interests, bring the boys home and withdraw from Nato. We are not the world.

“Hitler would be very proud of Angela.”

Wasn’t Hitler ‘Chancellor’ of Germany also?

[marktwain]

Because patriotism is if you include others in the German interest and accept win-win situations.”

I detest it when Progressives play Orwellian word games with words that have had long understood meanings.

It is *not* patriotism to hand over your governmental affairs to a world supergovernment. It is treason.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Yes, we need a world dictator, preferably German. /s

“In this day nation states must today – should today, I say – be ready to give up sovereignty.

She's a quick learner, eh, Adolf?

[Beave Meister]

There is no way she believes one word of the crap that comes out of her mouth. Someone needs to find out who is paying her to say this rubbish. Who is the person or persons behind the curtain...Soros, the Rothschild’s someone is pulling her strings.

Germany is committed to genocide. If they didn’t get Jews then Germans will do.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

“In this day nation states must today – should today, I say – be ready to give up sovereignty.

Germany has a history of pushing that concept in Europe.

Maybe we should have left Germany divided.

Anybody surprised? She’s an old East German commie.
