She triggered an invasion of Europe by young Arab men. Don't think Messrs. Schroeder, Kohl, Schmidt, Brandt, Kiesinger, Ehrhard, or Adenauer ever did anything remotely so destructive. There's been an extensive reshuffling of German voter preferences which has cost the Social Democratic Party most of its support and the federal Christian Democrats > 40% of theirs.

I agree with Art Deco on this one. The invasion of the radical Muslims is Merkel's baby.
ReplyDeleteBut of course, "worst chancellor ever" is ridiculous. One hopes there will never be another like Hitler.
