your views of US expansion and the indian wars are very simple and reductionist, i.e. you don’t really know what you’re talking about. read nathaniel philbrick’s “mayflower” just to get a tiny idea of what the complex relationship between EUROPEANS and the indians was like (emphasis added is mine). (I hate to break it to you but the US slave trade was started and primarily benefited europeans for a couple hundred years also, just because america kicked y’all out doesn’t remove europes primarily englands culpability in the slave trade)…

germany is responsible for 50 million deaths in WWII alone, not to mention WWI, so they really just need to clam up on topics like this.

I can not believe I just read this. This is really sad.
Wow
 
Almost 10 years ago, Catholic writer Joseph Sobran asked the question "Where is the repudiation and repentence from Jewish organizations for the Jewish role in a cause who’s crimes dwarf Hitler’s i,e, the mass murder of Christians in the former Soviet Union.

Done more to repent the sins of their past government then U.S. has. How many were murdered to expand the West and how many were murdered to be slaves.

It is not rotten to the core. You are missing my point. However we have made mistakes along the way but yet call ourselves so perfect.

We tell others to fess up their sins of genocide but yet we do not really own up to our past history of genocide. That is my point.

Fundementally this country is good and was based on upon good principles. Just like following Christ we seem to forget those principles. Some fess up to their past sins and make things right. Others walk blindly in self-righteousness as if they done no wrong.

weren’t you just calling a guy a stupid redneck in another topic? maybe you should hold off on the “holier than thou you outta be ashamed routine”?

sorry WWII wasn’t that long ago, germans need to stay mum on the holocaust for at least another 100 years… who cares what europe says anyway? they are almost completely irrelevant anyway, they’ll be a giant dhimi state in 50 more years.

Excuse me but if you had read that series of posts, I and another user were joking about stereotypes.

Perhaps from a economic perspective she is not, but the jury is still out on her from a social perspective.

Source?

She is a Christian Democrat: they believe in the social market economy (so not as conservative on economic issues as you seem to think), and is conservative on social issues.

Try again.

There was nothing to take.

Again, Angela Merkel is not a liberal. I made a statement. Get over it.
