    Guten Tag.
    Meine Eltern komt aus den Schwartzwald nach Amerika im 1920s.
    That was from a German class fifty years ago - hope you can understand it.
    I am a fan of Angela Merkel.
    Welcome.

    Ja ich verstehe es und es ist fast korrekt. :)

    "Meine Eltern kamen aus dem Schwarzwald nach Amerika in den 20er Jahren."

    would be the corrected form.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Please read the rules. I believe they require messages to be in English.

    Welcome. There is much political change going on here in the US and Germany.

    The AFD Party looks to be the best hope for your country. Don't you agree?

    Some call Merkel "the Whore of Babylon"---regardless of her current actions, I'd not support her or her party.

    Is was based in the wilderness between Nuremberg and Regensburg back some 30 year ago and haven't been back to Europe since.

    Merkel made Germany extremly whealthy and powerful. Her positive decissions cant be forgotten. She created ever lasting economic boom. record low unemployment and made Berlin the decission point of entire Europe. She made a mistake in 2015 when she showed compassion...something she never showed before. But she corrected and whats the alternative to her? leftist Schulz from SPD. I would never vote for Schulz.

    I don't understand your reference to the whore of Babylon- she's a Lutheran, not Catholic.

    These days, plenty of Americans are struggling with basic English, such as singular vs plural forms (there is/are thing(s)) and past tense vs past participle forms (have gone, went) :D

    It has to do with the multicultural Tower of Babel in Babylon. Merkel has helped make Europe more diverse and violent, like Syria and Iraq.

    No, the title comes from the Bible:

    The Whore of Babylon or Babylon the Great is a female figure and also place of evil mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Her full title is given as "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth."
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whore_of_Babylon

    Sounds at bit like Merkel---No?

    I remember reading an allusion to the whore of Babylon, because the Catholic Church was being pimped out. ? Sale of papal indulgences or something.

    Hey, I'm not a Catholic fanboy---but the Catholic Faith is not high on my threat list.

    Thats wrong.

    I find this absolute ridicolous.

    Merkel has blocked the Balkan down. Her shady turkey deal dropped numbers of migrants down to almost 97%.

    What exactly should she have done in 09/2015? Those middle eastern savages came in the tenthousands. Entire europe had failed to stop this. Germany needs open broders in Europe for trade.

    What she did was to lock down outside. Close down the Balkans and end the influx. This needed 4-5 months but it worked.

    Merkel is against Multiculture bullshit. She just saw no other way in 2015 to gain some time and end this. She stopped the influx and thats what matters. Now we need to get rid of those who made it.
