A year ago, after the Charlie Hebdo bloodbath, Angela Merkel was walking directly alongside President Hollande in that hideous memorial parade at which the world's leaders proclaimed that no such bloody acts of violence would ever kill free speech. No, sir, when it comes to killing free speech, leave it to smooth house-trained western politicians.

And so it was that Chancellor Merkel chose to commemorate the first anniversary of the Charlie massacre by clamping down on freedom of expression for her own benighted subjects. As The Washington Post put it:

"Germany springs to action over hate speech against migrants"

Who doesn't love Germans springing? Isn't that in The Producers? Spring time for thought-crime in Germany...

I noticed Germany didn’t spring to action to prevent the savages from raping, burning and attacking normal people.

Most chilling:

“The German state is apparently incapable of springing to action over organized mass sexual assault in at least five cities on a rape-out-the-old New Year’s Eve, but you’ve gotta be able to prioritize, right? Post reporter Anthony Faiola’s snide opening is a classic of the genre:

BERLIN — Donald Trump may be testing the boundaries of tolerance on the U.S. campaign trail. But here in Germany, the government is effectively enforcing civility, taking aim at a surge of hate speech against refugees and Muslims.”

“Enforcing civility.” That’s from an AMERICAN member of the Media.

Donald Trump is our peaceful revolution. If he fails, the next revolution may be anything but peaceful.
