It’s been a tough era for Davos Man, the personification of the great and the good who meet in the World Economic Forum in that Swiss ski resort every January. The rebukes just keep coming. The European debt crisis. Brexit. Donald Trump. And now, and once again unexpectedly, Angela Merkel’s failure to form a German government.
For a dozen years, European elites who have recoiled from George W. Bush and swooned over Barack Obama have regarded Merkel as a rock-solid firmament of good sense. Her considerable internal political skills, her seeming unflappability and her upholding of conventional wisdoms, both well- and ill-founded, have made her a favorite at Davos. Merkel has been the pillar of the European Union and seems to have been the dominant force behind the multiple responses to each of a succession of euro crises. It helps, of course, that Germany has Europe’s largest economy, one mostly unscathed by the 2008 financial crisis — though that owes much to the Thatcherish labor law reforms of Merkel’s predecessor, the Social Democrat Gerhard Schroeder.
By standard political science rules of thumb, Merkel and her Christian Democrats should have been a big winner in the Sept. 24 elections. The national unemployment rate is 3.7 percent. Inflation, the bugaboo of Germans since the 1920s, is low. The Social Democrats’ leader is untested in national politics.
Yet the CDU and its Bavarian partner, the CSU, got only 33 percent of the vote — their lowest percentage since West Germany started voting in 1949. The SPD, arguably the world’s oldest social democratic party, plummeted to 21 percent. The two major parties thus barely topped 50 percent, compared with 76 to 77 percent from 1992 to 2002 and the high 60s from 2005 to 2013.

It is quite possible that the general public is slowly waking up and coming to their senses. It certainly doesn’t take a scientist to figure out that this influx of migrants especially from certain areas of Africa never has or ever will have a future. These people have become accustomed to a certain way of life along with a religion which leaves a lot to be desired for hundreds of years, and never has and never will get them anywhere and anyone who thinks that all this can be changed and bred out in a few generations has another thought coming. I certainly had expected more from an educated woman like Angela Markel, but apparently history was never a strong subject of hers.
To my mind they are guilty of autogenocide, and should be tried for their malicious policies.
I’ve been waiting for a very long time, and ditto, for all of the worlds’ non-leftists! My tagline.
Should be applied to both sides of the Atlantic!
The invasion is right here in America.
Fargo ND. Downtown. Walmart.
Somali blacks. Who speaks a foreign African language in public?? And tries to cut into line with their privilege??
Obama directly targeted your town for invasion. You welfare/social security folks, this is your new competition.
Head to toe burkas in Fargo ND. They did not come to farm county to work but to populate. The over population invasion in your once safe town is brought to you from Obama and Davos and Bilderberg.
Keep your powder dry because these folks are not assimulating. The lighter toned American blacks are being replaced across America.
Angela neo-Marxist, neanderthal Merkle. What a mess. Pie face with a Moe Howard haircut.
If they cut in line, they need to be stopped. It is tough to stand up for the little things, but to not to do so is cultural suicide.
It's the same throughout the country. The elites have targeted certain voting districts in which only a few votes will flip them from Red to Blue, and then import the invaders in to turn the electoral tide. A gradual, deliberate method to alter the demographics and insure the democRATS' 1000 year Reich.
It wasn’t too many years ago that the leftist mantra was “Kill the elite”...now they ARE them!
The word they need to learn regarding their crop of migrants is “unassimilable”
Well said.
DEPORT ISLAM RETROACTIVELY !
Citizens do not need future burdens. Democrats are trash.
Unfortunately you are RIGHT, the sixty-four Dollar question remains when and where will all this crap end. The feeling I have and had for some time is that it will not end well. I am up in years and don’t have many more years left to deal with whatever may be coming, but I have a feeling that the younger generation will have their hands full.
