"cockroaches" is the term I've relegated to the inhumans... of course the lefties here don't like that term since the enemy of their enemy is their friend as the radicals are today can you believe Obama is arming al-quida in the middle east?

Germany, 'Veggie Day,' and Michelle Obama By JOSH GERSTEIN \| 9/21/13 7:39 PM EDT BERLIN—The elections set to take place here in Germany Sunday are expected to turn largely on the country's solid economy, Chancellor Angela Merkel's handling of the European debt crisis and social issues like women's role in the work force. But add to that plate one more thing: Germans don't want the government telling them what to eat. In what could be a cautionary tale for First Lady Michelle Obama's efforts to tweak Americans' diets, Germans look set to punish the Green Party for urging that public cafeterias go meat-free on a designated "Veggie Day" each week in order to help the environment and reduce cruelty to animals. Borrowing colorfully from English, German newspaper Bild described public reaction to the idea as a "shitstorm." At her party's final campaign rally on Saturday, Merkel joined in, slamming the Green proposal. "You will never hear from the Christian Democratic Union party when you should eat meat and when you shouldn't," Merkel said to loud applause from her supporters and campaign workers in the Tempodrom theater.
