The first word who came into my mind after having read Skybirds lastest comment was:

Brilliant summary, mapuc. :up: You are right. The differences between Merkel and AKK are minor, els eMerkel would not have choosen her. Its more of the same we had in the past 14 years.

Well, she's roman-catholic. You are engaging in window dressing. Again.

Yes, but I talked about Merkel. After all, AKK is Merkel's girl.

The anger and frustration in the CDU is growing, the events have not closed the rows, but widened gapsm it became even worse after AKK'S choosen general secretary Ziemiack was voted too, but with a meager not even two thirds of all votes. Various media indicate that its possible that the party will split up, Christian-Conservatives leaving what essentially now is a identityless, culture-free, far left-leaning EU party that opporetunbistically chooses to be the feature-free to-go-to-club for just everybody from all over the continent and world.

Or as I call it: it chooses to be the colour olive green. You know, this olive green that you always get when mixing all colours in the painter's shop together and stirr long enough: its always this certain kind of brownish olive green that is the end result.

I am not convinced the oarty will split, but it could happen, yes. I would estimate that up to one third then could leave and find home in a new conservative party founded by them. It would be the logical finish to Merkels abuse of the CDU over the past 19 years. Under her reign, the CDU got systemtically eroded of all its traditional values and biographic fundaments, as if she saw it as her mission to completely shatter and destroy it. What could more the crowning of her ambition if not the party breaking apart due to her last decision as the party's leader?

Mission accomplished, objective destroyed. Erich turns in his grave, giggling and applauding.

Edit:
P.S. Of the 1001 delegates, just 517 voted for AKK, and still 482 for her rival, Friedrich Merz. A united party looks different. Almost a 50:50 division.

Synchronicity in action:

the end of switching clocks twice per year was voted for by a - by its preset rules: legal - referendum. Junckers immediatey said that they will do it "immediately", in 2019. Then it was said 2020. Then concerns rose and they said 2021. Last I heared: not before 2022. And when a few days ago I read: 2022 not likely, i knew that it never is going to happen.

Last time you complained that Juncker wanted to change DST without having the majority to do it :hmmm:

And b.t.w. isn't it good that this jerk Merz was not elected? Bad enough he got so much votes. Maybe they should have nominated Roland Koch? People forget quickly.

Oooops, wrong thread, I wanted to reply to Jim in the UK thread with the switching clocks.

BTW, I cannot remember I complained about clocks being left alone, possibly. I hate these constant switches, I always need 7-10 days to adapt. I may have mentioned the referendum numbers, but cannot have complained, sicne by the preset rules the outcome is "legal". Majority said they want the clock switching stopped. Period. Those who care for switchign clocks, should have oted and then get a majority. Its like withhe Brexit referendum, when many people were shocked by thenoutcome but did not care to go voting against Brexit. If you have a voting, the outocme must be binding, els eit makes no sense. A maoreity of voters decided for brexit, and a majority of voters voted for stopping the clocks madness. Cases closed.

AKK is not less a joke than Merz is. More Merkel in the coming years. To hell with all them. My joy lies in that with aKJK rhe CDU will join the fate of the SPD, and continue to deconstruct itself, also, "populist movements" will grow stronger due to the CDU. Good entertainment is secured, therefore, and the big bang at the end probably as well.

Etatism and authoritarianism is the parole of these days. Paternalistically nudging people into socialist obedience, plundering the fruits of labour by blackmailing protection money at insane levels.. Deconstructing traditional identity and values of the West, especially Germany.

Merkel has signed the mirgaiton pact. Of cours eit means nothing, they all say. All the people now encouraged to move to germany becasue they are beign told they have a right to do so will of cours ebe send back and will go back when they are here and then getb told they cannot stay. No church asylums, no NGOs lobbying for mass migration, no migrant protection grass root movements... What a relief.

Merkel's habitus and gesture already was bad. AKK's is far, far worse. And her bilance in the Saarland is a desaster, if only one cares to look at the numbers. A desaster.

The Islamisation of Germany and the whole West: at least a temporary feel-good moment when reading somebody knowing both worlds and speaking straight and clear and with competence about them.

Laila Mirzo was born in Damascus in 1978 as the daughter of a German and a Syrian Kurd and grew up in a liberal home on the Golan Heights. There she had five years of teaching Koran at school before moving to Germany in 1989. Since 2002 she lives in Austria and converted to Catholicism. Today she works as a trainer for intercultural competence. "Only a bad Muslim is a good Muslim. On the incompatibility of Islam with our culture", is her first book and just published in Riva -Verlag.

Quote:

Ulrike Stockmann: Ms. Mirzo, you have written a very interesting book with a very provocative title. Please explain briefly what the slogan „Only a bad Muslim is a good Muslim“ is all about.
Laila Mirzo: A Muslim who does not strictly adhere to the scriptures, has emancipated himself from Sharia and jihad is, in the eyes of the Islamic hardliners, a „bad“ Muslim. For us as an enlightened and liberal society, he is a „good“ Muslim, because he can be part of the community of values with his critical attitude to Islam.

Aint I preaching this since years and years?

Quote:

They both know life in a Muslim state and in Central European countries. Above all, within the German-speaking Islam debate, you are one of the few insiders who, with well-founded knowledge and personal experience, publicly participate in the discussions. As a connoisseur of both worlds, what do you say about how the West deals with Islam?

Considering how Islam has spread throughout its history, with violence and reprisals against people of other faiths, Europe is making a big mistake with its appeasement policy. As soon as majorities have changed in favor of the Muslim population, the fundamental statutes of our society will be attacked. We only have to take a look at the Islamic countries. Using the example of Turkey, one can observe in time-lapse how a formerly secular country is being converted into an Islamic state. Those who downplay Islam and its agenda make themselves the accomplices of a fascist ideology that divides people into classes, is homophobic and anti-Semitic.

They write that there is „no Islam conforming to the constitution (...) no Islam light, but the Koran simply does not offer any scope for that.“ Does that mean that all Muslims who literally take the Koran can not live constitutionally?

Those who take the Koran literally and the instructions in the hadiths, can not live a constitutional life. Because the scriptures dictate jihad. Whether jihad is conducted spiritually or by force of arms is up to the decision of every Muslim. The result, however, must be in every case: installation of Sharia law and proclamation of the Islamic state of God.

For a while one likes to talk about "political Islam", which is aggressive but has nothing to do with actual Islam. Do you think this distinction makes sense?

This distinction is misleading because Islam is always political. There is no apolitical Islam. But what is there are apolitical Muslims. People who decide for themselves how much Islam they want to live. The Koran explicitly requires the persecution and killing of people of other faiths if they do not want to convert to Islam. So terror is not a perversion or misinterpretation of the verses, but the message of Islam to its opponents.

They write that there are also internal Islamic demands for a reform. Which circles are they and what is their share within the European Islamic communities?

Unfortunately, this is just a fringe group that, while focusing on the media, is supposed to convey a representative voice, it is rarely heard or taken seriously in Muslim society. The circle of reformers is unfortunately very small, because who critically deals with Islam, then usually leaves Islam. It is almost impossible for a educated and enlightened person to find a home in Islam. Because even if you break away from the elements of violence, there is still the figure of Muhammad. The Islamic prophet is an inviolable leader, his actions are infallible and worthy of imitation. But Mohammed is responsible for the massacre of a Jewish tribe and has himself led innumerable wars of aggression and raids. He killed men and boys and enslaved women. Can you seriously follow someone like that today?
(...)

Good to listen to a sane mind. Bad to see the outlook on how it all will end.

Quote:

(...)
In the meantime, you have withdrawn from the Muslim community and converted to Catholicism. May I ask how this happened?

I was probably this "bad" Muslim, who had emancipated himself from the backward content, of my Islamic faith only begat the income tax card. But I started as a parish clerk at a Catholic pastor, and there it was part of the requirements to be a Christian. The pastor and I have had a special friendship since the death of my too early born son. So he came to meet me at my baptism, as he added to the question, "Do you believe in the Catholic Church?", "With all their mistakes?"

Today I am a believer, but not religious. God and I maintain a hierarchical relationship. My God is not vengeful, and his ego does not need constant confirmation. I do not blame him for everything. I'm also grateful for small things, I think he likes that (laughs).

And humour - I like this woman!

@Sky....this article dates back to May but has the situation changed since then?

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...-combat-ready/

^ As far as I can take from the media, its nothing new, nor has it substantially changed. That only fractions of the armed forces can be activated for battle-readiness within reasonable amounts of time, is being reported since years: tanks, IFVs, fighters, transports, submarines, helicopters. I quoted that often enough in the past two years or so.

That Germany is in no way capable currently to fulfill its NATO obligations, also is no new news at all. The Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr, but also external experts, have warned of the pitiful state of the armed forces since long time. So, it has been quite high.ranking insiders who have made comments that Germany cannot fulfill its NATO obligations.

The drama with the German Eurofighters lasts since the first was delivered. And until today they still have not their planned full armament, AFAIK.

So sleep well and rest assured: even after Brexit and no matter how outraging we find that, you must not be afraid of us. Nobody must be.

:03:

Skybird's always so positive :03:

It is not as bad, but still bad enough. Only jets with a certain weapon loadout are down to four units as far as i read, but the overall situation "could be better", of course. :03:
Next, the Gorch **** scandal.. :rolleyes:

edit: lol "Gorch F o c k" is the real name of the training ship. Only because some bloody foreigners have another word and pronounciation for a certain mammal behaviour :hmph:

Auf den Punkt gebracht... :yep:

:Kaleun_Applaud:

A lawyer in Berlin is bringing to court the case of girls not being allowed to sing in - boys choires. Discrimination against article 3 of the German Basic law, she argues.

Manchmal steht mir dieser ganze Scheiß sowas von bis oben. Zerstörerisches Dreckspack, verfluchtes. Now the next beautiful thing gets slaughtered. Suicide by intellectual onanism until death.

BTW, young girls' and young boys' voices can be differentiated, if only you care to listen to their singing closely enough. Their voices are NOT the same. And no, you do not need to be a musician or a sound engineering expert to hear it. Any layman caring for it, and with an interest, can hear it.

I just wait for some ultrafeminist brain-vacuum suing society for men not needing to suffer the pain of giving birth to babies. Maybe men should regularly being tortured, to achieve gender equality there?
