re: #910 Cato the Elder

The perfect is the enemy of the good, Cato. Not everyone sets the bar for “courage” as high as you seem to.

It’s too bad for Merkel that the Islamofascists and their supporters (in Germany and elsewhere) don’t consider Merkel’s challenges of them as insignificant as you do. Again, she’s stood up taller and stronger than any other European leader I can think of.

Beyond that … J.S. (#915) has already put it much more eloquently than I could have.
