Anyone who paid attention in history class knows how often horrifying political developments were not stopped because there was no determined resistance by the decent people, and no leaders who had the confidence to stand up and protest loudly. There are many examples of that, if you think for instance of the failure of the middle class in the Weimar Republic, squeezed between communists and the National Socialists, who both had only contempt and mockery for democrats. Or take the appeasement policy of the Western powers toward Hitler.......
But there was no one like that, so our borders were open for many weeks to an unregulated and — to a great extent — uncoordinated mass immigration from the Islamic world. Messrs. Erdogan and Orban have eventually brought it about that Mrs. Merkel’s regime was able to step forward and brag that the number of immigrants coming to Germany had considerably lessened. Although she herself had nothing to do with that.
The consequences of the failure of state rules and institutions, the inability to control a major crisis which is gripping all of Europe and which more than a few people regard as an approaching war of Islamist fanatics against us all, are obvious. It is obvious in the increasingly frequent terrorist attacks, as recently in Stockholm. In London, Paris, Brussels, Nice, Berlin, Ansbach, Würzburg — all forgotten again? Honor killings in residences in Germany and hate preaching in mosques everywhere in Europe — are they all just regrettable incidents? North African hordes attacking hundreds of women on New Year’s Eve. Was it “only” in Cologne, or also in Hamburg, Bielefeld, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart? Why do the country’s elites close their eyes to what is happening here?

Unless they are busy asking in Spanish, “where is the welfare payment?”
These politicians should have the clear consequences of their decisions that happen to their citizens .... carried out against the politicians and all of their protected families too.
Why do the country’s elites close their eyes to what is happening here?
The short answer is political correctness. Since it violates political correctness to say anything about Muslim terror, the elites stay silent. Or if they address it at all, they are like Obama and Hillary and the liberals in this country, who refuse to call it Islamic terror. They engage in sophistry and talk of how not all Muslims are terrorists, yadda yadda yadda. And that it’s bigoted to be wary of Muslims etc. So as a result, nothing is done because of the need to keep their liberal thoughts pure.
The National Socialists are taking over and people are OK about it. What a sad statement.
What children?
Political correctness will never grasp why it is wrong, even as its adherents are made to bare their necks for the scimitar.
It seems incredible, but you are 100% correct in your assessment. They are willing to lose their nations to avoid having to face the fact that their idealistic political ideology is an utter failure. Sad. Pathetic. Losers.
I would never have thought about asking this question to my parents.
“Our culture is suffering the consequences of attempting to evade the responsibilities that come with using the mind. We have displaced thinking and in its place put feelings”.
Exactly!!
Islamists are very good at using the laws of free countries against them to pursue their goal of invasion and conquering through out breeding the host country. The Mexicans have been doing the same thing in America for 80 years and are now tipping the scales of balance. That how fast it can happen. Just in the space of one lifetime an entire nation can be brought down this way unless drastic and deliberate measures are taken and for God’s sake; don’t let someone be a citizen who doesn’t have at least one parent who is no matter where the baby is born. That loophole is a nation killer.
Similarly, the current governing figures of the EU and many of the more important political figures in the United States as well, are laboring under the same conviction, that the mechanisms they have chosen to pursue their ideal new society will result in something they will be able to control. That demographic change is inevitable and therefore forced demographic change should be used as a transformative tool. This is folly based on gross overconfidence in their mastery of historical inevitability, just as it was in the 1930's.
It is already out of control in such bellwethers as Sweden. It is close to that elsewhere in Europe, and the fissiparous tendencies in the UK and France and the reaction that is Trump in the United States should be dire warnings to the powers that be. They're not listening, as they didn't before.
Thanks for the very good commentary.
The elitists seem not to care because they are isolated in their protected enclaves. If the population is threatened it just gives them more power.
That is why I advocate for the immigrant crimes to be placed upon the families of the elitists. Only if it happens to them will they care.
They didn’t have enough children to replace themselves.
