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.”

Lol. I did for that very reason. Even the number of #s is intentionally incorrect.
That Europe has produced so many of these kinds of people, and elected them to office, is indisputable proof that they aren’t the sophisticated, enlightened, worldly societies that liberals pathetically think they are.
Not really. He was going to replace everything German, their religion, their culture and history with stuff that he approved of.
yep
I still think that man will arise from Europe, but that’s just $0.02.
Yes that’s probably how he will talk.
Not praising Hitler here, but Hitler was NOT a Globalist, and he wanted to RID Germany of all 'undesirables.'
Damn Globalists. Cranky Walter Cronkite must be sweating his seat at the right hand of Satan.
Merkel is definitely a traitor to her own country.
[Anybody surprised? She’s an old East German commie.]
Yep
Old Walter showed what he truly was with that one.
You first, Nazi!
Here is why. in europe
1. regular people have always waited/expected authority to do things/lead. kings, leaders, etc. a subtle respect for authority no matter what, for order, etc.
2. they have their system based in positive rights, ie what the govt can do to you. and also, basically, if govt does not explicitly approve something, it is otherwise considered illegal. you need govt permission to do things. in america we have historically had a system of negstive rights, constraining what govt or others could do to you, and that if something was not explicitly declared illegal, it was considered legal to do.
3. the whole go along to get along cultural mentality in many european types of people, to the overall detriments of the individual and society, these knobs think its a positive. its not. its a big factor for the mess they are dealing with now.
Stupid argument.
A nation isn’t is happy to cooperate with other nations, as long as that cooperation is in the best interests of his own nation and does not dilute national sovereignty. Ceding national sovereignty is almost always against the nation’s interests, because power will not be exercised by those with the nations best interest in mind.
This notion that it is an either/or proposition is not realistic.
Think of it like this, Angela... International cooperation is like gender. It operates as a spectrum, not just one or the other ...
“...said ceding power to a superstate is a better form of patriotism.”
Not surprising, coming from an old East German that was a puppet state of the Soviet Union superstate.
That is a new bumper sticker and t-shirt.
STASI bitch isn’t even pretending anymore.
I will die fighting, before this.
To think that she holds the same office as Bismarck.
And, to whom?
Ayn would call this type of mental mush 'the leper's bell of an approaching looter.'
“...In This Day and Age States Must Be Ready to Give Up Sovereignty...”
You first *itch!
and the German people will continue to vote for her and the other global rulers’ tools.
