As early as 1959, Willi Schlamm, one of the founders of National Review noted that "ohne mich" (count me out; I don't want to be involved) increasingly characterized the attitude of the emerging generation of Germans. Now, their kids are running the country.
The Worldwide War on Fathers continues.
Compromise and restore the former anthem:
.
“Heil dir im Siegerkranz,
Herrscher des Vaterlands!
Heil, Kaiser, dir!
|: Fühl in des Thrones Glanz
Die hohe Wonne ganz,
Liebling des Volks zu sein!
Heil Kaiser, dir! :|
***
“Sei, Kaiser Wilhelm, hier
Lang’ deines Volkes Zier,
Der Menschheit Stolz!
|: Fühl’ in des Thrones Glanz,
Die hohe Wonne ganz,
Liebling des Volks zu sein!
Heil, Kaiser, dir! :|”
OK, it needs to be updated.
“Sie Georg Friedrich, hier...”
How do you say “fatherland” in Arabic?
“I’ve never even approved of the Department of Homeland Security. “
Same here, it has that Fatherland Nazi ring to it. IMO it’s also a repetition of what we already have too much of.
While I am on that subject, the current US military helmet is a near replication of the Nazi WWII one. Now it may be a very practical design in protecting our troops, but every time I see one I think of WWII Germans.
Yes, given the trend brought by it. Call it the Single Mother Land with illegitimate children.
If they keep going the way they've been going for the last serveral years, they'll be changing the lyrics to "Allah-land"
>>>>the German government’s equality commissioner made headlines by suggesting that it was time to make the national anthem less macho.<<<<
Fer crying out loud. It was probably too offensive to the muzzies over there.
