The new third reich?

Here's an interesting little article out of bbc.com:

Germany is racist.

Ok, after reading it, you know they aren't really. They're just becoming more nationalist and want people to actually become German. So they want people to have an idea of being a citizen of a country. Wait just a second. Nationalism in Germany? Where have I seen this before? 1930s, anyone?

Ok, that was probably a big leap. I mean, just be cause German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants people to learn German doesn't me they are going to renew the reading of Mein Kanpf. But here's my bigger problem. Germany will get a free pass from being called racist or Nazis because they're in Europe. As we all know, people in Europe are far superior than here in the United States. They're more tolerant. They are better at being open-minded. They have better beer. Ok, I agree with the beer.

Yet, when the US tries to have talk of immigration reform, here's what we see:



Yes, the US is a group of Nazis because they want the same thing as Europe. People on the left we'll always say we need to be more progressive, like Europe. So I guess that means we get to finally have an official language, close our borders, and have real reform? No, probably not. But it does mean we can prove the hypocrisy.
