Angela Merkel Agrees to Prosecution of Comedian for Poem Mocking Erdogan

Merkel needs Erdogan's help in reducing the flow of immigrants swamping Europe.

So if Erdogan wants to export Islamist privitism to Europe, Erdogan gets to export Islamist Primitivism* to Europe.

* The specific primativism here (though there are so many in Islamist modes of thought) is the idea that the caliph must not be insulted. The idea that a government leader cannot be insulted is anathema to the modernist west.

Turkey's not in the EU. In fact, the EU playing around with Turkey wanting to jon (forcing Turkey to amend their constitution in 2003 to take supreme poser away from the secular military (the thing that MADE modern Turkey and kept it half sane all these years) in order to even be considered for EU membership) is what led to Erdogan's dragging Turkey back into the islamist abyss and Turkey's late switch to the other side, against Israel and NATO.

No, she is a long-term slow-motion _Vergeltungswaffe_ set in motion by the East German communist leadership once they realized that their society had failed, their dreams were dead, and their lives had been wasted.

A way to get back at their adversaries, the hated Wessis, by denying them the fruits of victory and destroying them as well.

52 I sometimes think of the Germans casually flushing away their nation and culture and find it very sad.

Then I remind myself of the reception the Germans accorded Barack Obama in 2008, when they treated him quite literally like some celestial figure descended to earth, to wisely instruct ordinary mortals, and correct our pathetic failings. A more hysterically rapturous response than even that of Obama's domestic personality cult here in the USA.

Then after that, I don't feel quite so sad for the Germans.

53 "Europe is going to the dogs."

Technically, it's the dogs that are coming to Europe. Mostly from the Middle East, coincidentally.

"The slow European suicide continues....."

It doesn't look all that slow. Relatively quick, compared to, say, the fall of the Roman Empire, or the first Muslim invasion of Europe.

"Good thing that could never happen here."

Who's taking bets that the SCOAMF isn't looking at that German law about mocking government leaders and thinking "Say..."?

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at April 15, 2016 01:44 PM (Zu3d9)

68 Many smallish state-level electoral results seem to indicate that, in fact, most Germans are *not* terribly happy about the state of things.

And recall, in Europe the gulf between popular will/common sense and actual elites and actual policy makes the current US look like it did in January 1942 on war policy.

But, still, conflicted. Appreciate Europe as a living museum and amusement park with great food and wine (and yes they make some nice trinkets too). But much like America, Europe is getting what it deserves, at least in terms of not rising up to put a stop to it.

And yes, Turkey has Germany (and thus, all of Europe) by the very short hairs on this. There have been some astonishing German/EU "missions" to Turkey, in which they cravenly begged for mercy on the mass migrant flow (almost entirely under Turkey's control). Didn't get much attention in the US.

Second, governments all over the West are arresting people for tweets.

137 Grump: Lee Classic Turret is great. Though as I'm doing my first bottleneck-rifle (30-06 for the M1), I'm wishing I had one of those heavier presses from Lee or RCBS etc. - the resizing cycle is a workout.

Cuban-backed movie: one reason I find it repulsive that that vermin is even considered acceptable by sane society, much less cool or interesting. It's like some German businessman with a side-line business who was a favorite anti-Semitic movie producer for Goebbels. Eff him.

141 One of the things that makes us Americans and not Europeans has been our commitment to civil liberties, including the right to free speech.

But there's a pernicious movement afoot to read the 14th Amendment right to "liberty" to override things in the Bill of Rights such as the right to free speech. You see, you can't have "liberty" if someone offends you with their speech. This current phae of progressivism is being played out at a college or university near you.

149 Col. Kurtz, to clarify, I use the turret press in single-stage mode (no indexing rod to turn the turret) when I'm doing 30-06. Every step separated - resizing/depriming, powder drop, bullet seating. Just for 100% quality control. And my volumes are much lower for this than for handgun ammo, so not much time penalty.

I was referring to the heavier single-stage presses (forget the names) put out by Lee and the other big names. They're smooth as butter even when resizing larger rifle cases, from what I hear.

While Europe has - even in its most blessed and happy period, that made possible by US protection and alliance from WWII to the end of the Cold War - never come close to having the culture or framework of liberty America invented for the human race, here in the US things are looking much darker.

It's not that the 1st amend. has been repealed, or gutted per se. It's that repugnant, alien, thoroughly un-American concepts like "hate speech" are now *not* markers of being on the lunatic fringe.

Just this week the UC San Diego chancellor joined the ranks of those blazing this path to darkness, "apologizing" for some students chalking "You Know Who 2016" and - sit down before you read this - also the blood-curdling racist tocsin-call of "Build the Wall".

Yep, the USA, Australia and Canada sure are failures! Definitely not up to European standards of insufferable, unwarranted superiority.

These countries have about the same per capita income as Mississippi and Arkansas. At least before they imported several million muslim refugees.

In five years they will hope they are as well off as Mississippi.

199 "Yep, the USA, Australia and Canada sure are failures! Definitely not up to European standards of insufferable, unwarranted superiority."

When England turned a continent into a giant penal colony, concerns were voiced that the new native-born white Australians -- offspring of English sheep stealers, Fenian rebels and the like -- would be a race of super-predator criminals.

In 5 years they'll be Bosnia writ large.

And there'll be a push for another European world war, probably. Maybe they'll even bring the ovens out of storage.

Posted by: GregV61 at April 15, 2016 01:26 PM (H0lcY)

Yeah, given her policies are destroying Germany as well as the rest of Europe.

Stasi mole wouldn't be too far a stretch.

Or just a typical leftist asshole who doesn't care about the rest of their people or the nation as long as they can lap up plenty of public funds then retire with a big, fat pension.

Possibly both.

That and today's endorsement of Trump by the NY Post, another Murdoch property.

"Imperfect -- but so full of promise" Sounds about right, no?

209 Merkel's payback for all those booby campaign floats back in her early political bandwagon day? From KGB's Chief Stasi contact to Prime Minister.

As with Merkel, more so with Hillary.

Yet a penis doesn't immune politics of insanity, either. Cue from Sunni madhouse. It didn't take Erdogan long at all to prove his own global empire fantasy, for now abreast of Saud, as if any such thing be a "true" Caliph of all Islam.

And it won't take a DNC ticket to augment preemptive martial law in dumb & dummer America.

215 100 ... Grump928, The Lee Classic Cast press is a single stage. I've used one for years on everything from 32 long to 45-70 brass. It can even handle 50BMG cases. The Lee turret press is also excellent and plenty strong enough for 30-06. The turret press can be put in single stage mode very simply, so it is extremely versatile. I also use Lee die sets. They are excellent and at a fraction of the cost of RCBS and other dies. I've been using Lee reloading gear for over thirty years and never had a problem.

You probably know but I'll say it anyhow: you HAVE to use lube when sizing bottleneck cases.

Thanks for the info. I don't plan on being a factory, so a simple single stage would probably work for me but the idea of being able to have turrets already setup for different calibers is attractive. And in truth, the amount of money I burn for factory ammo could easily justify any reasonable expense.
