@Maroxad: If you want to deny the benefits of trade act agreements, then good luck. Do bad things happen from them? Yep, they are compromise agreements made by many wealthy businesses, you will find plenty of compromises in them. But they are overall good for Americans. And you will actually find thate majority support trade act agreements and reform them all the time.

Just because a million jobs were lost, doesnt mean 5 million werent gained mate. Look it up, the trade agreement created 5 million jobs in its coarse. You cant always focus on only the bad side of things, you have to also weight the good.

Seriously. People don't read these days anymore? It's not Merkel's or goverment's job to decide what is against law or not. It's job for prosecutors and courts. Just like Merkel said. She did the right thing here.

@InEMplease: Nope, they will complaint algebra is too hard, a way to oppress them. And they would argue bad grade cannot be used to expel them because they are oppressed.

Germany is not liberal, and Merkel is not either. They are neo liberals, and there is a difference. Conservative or liberal, when Muslim despots claim their special right to not be offended, and back it with violence, the side that should be with free expression bows down and apologizes. Muslims are not special, and neither is any other group that says it has the right not to be offended. This level of cowardice is genocidal.

How does American Liberalism compare with European Liberalism?

I don't know if Germany believes in free speech but for as much as they try to bury the past of the Third Reich, it seems as if they are following them in certain aspects.

Look at the past sixteen years in the United States. When George Bush was being portrayed by caricatures resembling a monkey, Hitler, etc.., the left loved it and supported such displays. When the same happened to Obama, they cried.
