#1 and there I was thinking it was forcing Germans to pay France and other foreign countries vast amounts of it's GDP.

Eurobonds anyone?

#3 Why would anyone dare question a statement originating from a "central bank" which links conservatism with nazism? [snark off]

#4 This is true but the left really fears nationalism. They (I have been told) believed that the route cause of nazism was nationalism. With the EU breakup nationalism will happen. That is why Europe and here fought the Tea party. They feared its strength. True grass routes not controlled like a union.

#6 BP & (g)romky, I, too, thought that the humiliation and looting of the ToV were the major issues. Those are what led to the rise of a leftist, nationalist dictatorship (aka Naziism).

Hmmm, leftist dictatorship in Europe? Now why does that sound familiar?

Expansionist.

#9 I recall the expression Socialism Democrat conferred upon Europe. Well we have that here now.
I'd bet you many loyal Democrats will refuse to vote since they have no home to go to now.

#13 Reporters laughed when Pelosi said she could have had Rove arrested whenever she liked . Im not kidding. Theres a prison here in the Capitol If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.

They do have their dreams and fantasies which often get confused with reality.
