Maybe Ja To Moon

Beltway avatard Rev. Sun Myung Moon wants to go a recruitin' in Germany. Too bad it's been verboten since 1995. After all, it's for the good of the children:

Youth-welfare officials regard Moon’s organization as a sect that exploits the psychological instability of many young people.

Government officials say Moon’s political views are also contrary to the German constitution’s commitment to the combination of social security with free markets.

In other words, the Germans don't want to give Moon a venue to express his pathological narcissism as the sheer grandiosity of claiming to be the one world messiah. We'll add: get in line, loser. There are easily over 100 other so-called "only true saviors" vying for the affection of the poor, deluded souls who believe in such nonsense.

But since Germany is in the European Union, and since the E.U. wants to appear more tolerant than the States [Ed.note: And really, who can blame them?], a German court is going to decide whether to lift the injunction against Moon traveling there.

Since the ban was enacted back in 1995, Moon has bought his way into Washington D.C., even going so far as to control one of the local newspapers there. We're sure he's got many "friends" now with some heft to toss around in the diplomatic channels, making his visit rather likely at this point.

So, get ready for another nutbag who seriously believes he's going to rule the entire world, Germany.
