    German elections

    Merkel wins fourth term,, but far right gains seats in parliament.

    That wasn't suppose to happen. It was blow-back from her immigration policies.

    Chancellor Angela Merkel clinched a fourth term in Germany's election Sunday, but her victory was clouded by the entry into parliament of the hard-right AfD in the best showing for a nationalist force since World War II.

    Merkel, who after 12 years in power held a double-digit lead for most of the campaign, scored around 33 percent of the vote with her conservative Christian Union (CDU/CSU) bloc, according to preliminary results. It was their worst score since 1949.

    It may already be too late for the German people.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Like we did with Obama, the German people deserve what they voted for. It rains on both the just and the unjust alike.

    That's what I expected.

    Yes, they deserve what they voted for - a Germany stronger than it has ever been since before WWII.
