Worrying about what other people will say about you is what ruined the GOP and what got Germany into this mess in the first place. Act! Do what's right and damn the nattering punditry.
Lets not forget that Merkel and others have been brainwashed into shame since 1945.
I remember when one German woman was asked if she felt proud over her country doing well in soccer and she said she had mixed emotions due to them doing good , but because of the past.
Exactly! BOOT. THEM. OUT. No apologies. No groveling. No begging not to be called “racist” or “Nazi.” Just do it. And I’d say the same to the US.
