Reuters: Merkel, under fire over refugees, says 'I'm fighting for my vision'
Chancellor Angela Merkel put up a spirited defense of her leadership on Friday, vowing to "fight for my vision" of how to deal with the refugee crisis that has stretched Germany's resources and damaged her standing.
Infighting in Merkel's ruling coalition and a unilateral decision by her interior minister on asylum policy have raised questions about the chancellor's leadership, though coalition sources have dismissed speculation of a "putsch" against her.
A poll for television station ZDF on Friday showed a narrow majority of Germans believed Merkel was doing a bad job of handling the refugee crisis.
Critics say her accommodating message in August that "we can do this" - responding to wrenching scenes of refugees faced with border closures and popular hostility in trying to enter some EU states - have spurred migrants to pour into Germany in ever larger numbers, overwhelming the resources of local authorities.
The 61-year-old chancellor struck a defiant tone when interviewed for a ZDF program headlined 'What now Frau Merkel?'
WNU Editor: Angela Merkel is saying that she is ‘Deeply Shocked’ by Paris Attacks (WSJ). Why should she be? Preliminary indications are that the Paris attackers are from Syria, and for the past year security officials and analysts have been warning her (and other EU leaders) that opening Germany's borders will result in terrorists and terror groups from the Middle East trying their best to infiltrate the EU. If this is her vision .... count me out.

Good for her but I'm not sure why German or European interests should be subjected to one woman's vision.
If she is fighting for her vision, perhaps a certain opthalmologist in Latakia could help.
Allen West for German Chancellor.

Or Putin
Or ...
You get the picture.

Michael Savage tha is a good one .... German Chancellor Angela Merkel say I have a vision ........mmmmm so do did Hitler.
Michael Savage is egotistical IMO. He is flawed. But for all that he is better than establishment types like Merkel or Jeb Bush, who want endless immigration.
Michael has a succinct policy of "borders, language and culture"
The Fed of Minneapolis wrote a paper on the 3 main factors that influence the birth rate. The pols have failed to read it or purposefully ignored it. Those pols mostly have law degrees. So they are educated. They could read it if they weanted to read it. they do not. \
They want cheap labor, H1B visas, campaign donations, soirees, The Hamptons, Martha's Vinyard and high taxes.
With cheap labor form endless migration and high taxes the indigenous working population will not reproduce enough.
