German in name only, Merkel has 3 aristocrats in her cabinet. Just to point that out. However, That is completely against my point. I was talking about the Uebermenschliche denken that is still present in the German mindset. "Wir sind Weltmeister" in ....... is written on a weekly basis in some media publication where there isn't even a contest. The average German needs to be assured of his/her superiority in the world on a regular Basis. Today the "aristocracy" has been replaced by the Politicians who are carefully placed in position according to party loyalty. By the way, can you name ONE poor aristocrat in Germany, or for that matter, Europe? It doesn't matter whether Obama or Bush is the President of the USA. Germany will forever loathe America, it is inherent.After all Americans are just those dumb, ignorant people who dared leave the Vaterland.

The German Psyche is incredible, although predictable. When I read the German papers I never cease to be amazed at the automatic Anti- American Sentiment. Take the Opel negotiations for instance. The american delegation said "no" to one demand. Media: It is the Americans fault that negotiations stalled. Whenever we say no to anything or have a different opinion the nasty AMIS are verbally abused and belttled. I do understand that the only thing that matters is the "Uebermenschen's" position, nothing else matters. GM practically gave tem the property, patents and a manufacturer for nothing in return. GM kept them in business for 80 years, no thanks for that, only grief. At least they can't blame us anymore when they ultimately go totally broke. This is inevitable. They want to continue like before without any reduction in numbers even though Opel has a minus of $2.8 billion in 2008. It does not take an economist to figure out where that will lead. Sometimes I wish the Russians had taken over Germany after the war instead of the Americans. At least Everyone would be the same, miserable. Free speech, forget it, no complaining like they can under a democratic system. Some of the things I am in Favor of: Take the 15 Billion of the Marshall Fund and make it a rotating international Fund. Now it is used to support German Entrpreneurs. Change our Tax laws to give incentives to American corporations to return home. Leave NATO and withdraw all troops from Europe, forcing the Euro peons to shoulder their own defense. We need the money Give over the job of World Police to someone else. The German Goebbels style Media has indoctrinated their citizens to such an Anti-American sentiment, they need to focus on their friends, the Russians, OOps, I forgot, they would be freezing in the winter because you just don't talk about them and not be punished. etc.,etc.
