Germany Moves Further Towards Capitalism & Freedom

Greetings,

Obama and the Dems want us to all become European style socialists but the Europeans are moving to the right! Germany's Angela Merkel (who was often a guest at the Crawford ranch) kicked the liberals butts:

Western Europe Continues to Move to the Center-Right

In more detail here:

Merkel wins as Germans choose centre-right

and

Merkel roars to 2nd term, new coalition in German election thanks to strong ally

Best quote:

"Merkel's CDU and its Bavaria-only sister, the Christian Social Union, won 33.8 per cent of the vote and the Social Democrats took 23 per cent. The Free Democrats captured 14.6 per cent, the Left Party 11.9 per cent and the Greens 10.7 per cent.

That gave the conservatives 239 seats and the Free Democrats 93 in the lower house - for a comfortable centre-right majority of 332 seats to 290. The Social Democrats won 146, the Left Party 76 and the Greens 68."

So while we are close to embracing socialism, the Germans most leftward party - the Greens did the worst of all parties.

Now that's a change you can believe in! 2010 is just around the corner folks, lets see if we can let the winds of freedom blowing in Europe sail back over the Atlantic to us!

TTFN,

Jim
