"What if Europe’s elections aren’t about angry intolerance?"

Doug, you have Frankfurt as your publish location. Are you really in Germany? Do you really speak German? Have you really been talking to the locals? 
It's hard to believe, for someone who claims to be a foreign correspondent over the last 5 years in Europe, that he characterizes the majority of decent, law abiding and sincere Germans as "angry and intolerant".
