I must get this off my chest. Mind you, this is more of a rant to all those feeling nostalgic and remorseful over a Queen who lived the life of privilege from birth to death. As much as I mourn the passing of any human, I pray she was saved. While I do truly feel she was a good woman, I do not understand the borderline worship so many in America seem to feel for her. She was nothing more to me than the World's biggest welfare Queen. Mind you, the royal family made their wealth off the backs of their citizens for over 1200 years.
I do mourn the passing of a human, nothing more nothing less. She was a figure head who never had power in all her life, because the Crown abdicated their rule 373 years ago. That is 373 years of continually collecting money from enterprises built upon the backs of slave labor the World over.
Can you name me one British Elitist who does not hate America? They go so far as to accuse America from getting wealthy of the World, when in reality it is the royal family, whom they worship, who made their money off slave labor from their colonies around the World. They were the one's colonizing the World for their benefit, the United States never ever colonized anything. Regardless of what the left claims.
So now they lost their beloved Queen, and the family of misfits continues to fleece the citizens of England by making money off the citizens. Think about it, it's their ancestors who made the royal family rich. All the while these foolish English citizens seem to worship the family like they are god's. A citizenry whom for the vast majority lived in abject poverty through most of the last millennium.
Sorry if I do not share everyone's sense of pride over someone who has passed away. Mind you, this woman was angry when one of her cousins spoke out against abortion. Yes, Shockingly the Queen Mother was pro choice. She did like Reagan and publicly got along with Margaret Thatcher, but the family all leaned to the left through the years. Today they are borderline radicle leftists.
Something else my fellow Christian brothers and sister need to know, the head of the Monarchy is the head of the Church of England. Yes the Queen Mother was the head of the church, now Charles is. A church that pretty much aligns closely with the doctrine of the Catholic Church, but in many cases is even more heretical.
Remember, the Church of England sprang up so that King Henry VIII could divorce his wife. However, the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, would not allow it because Henry's wife was his sister. So Henry began his own reformation by leaving the Catholic Church, which he then was allowed to divorce his wife. He then married Anne Boleyn in 1533, and 3 years later had her head removed. He claims because she committed adultery, but the truth is she failed to give him a male heir.
I will readily admit I have very little love or respect for the majority of politicians and mega wealthy individuals in America today. Since it is the evil alliance of the mega rich and politicians who are busily trying to push us back into the feudal system, better known today as Communism. OH, I know there are good politicians, and good rich people, but they are few and far between. So forgive me if I do not join on everyone's shock and sadness at the passing of the World's greatest Welfare Queen.
Do away with 1200 year-old institutions in the name of “modernity,” and watch what happens next to a country. Just ask the Russians, Chinese and Germans.
Mine aren’t you the bitter one.
Why?
Always remember.
The kings of England refused the colonies repeated requests to end slavery.
“As long as the colonies are under the Crown, there will be slavery there.”
When the revolutionary war started, seven northern colonies wound up declaring slavery illegal and done.
Good point. There are many things I could have brought up.
Gee, that is where England leaders want us to be.
They are the one’s joining China to help take us out.
The British banned slavery decades before America did.
The Queen worked harder and more diligently in her lifetime, and bore more responsibility, than that I’ll wager you have ever done, or could do.
It’s real easy to be a smartass on the internet.
What kings would those be? I can see George III in particular, but the empire itself abolished slavery in 1807.
And who are you quoting? A search engine shows this thread as the only source.
“When the revolutionary war started, seven northern colonies wound up declaring slavery illegal and done.”
That is an interesting comment.
May we see your data?

Neither did your rant.
So there is symmetry.
You have a nice night now.
The Queen Mother or the queen herself ???
The mother of Elizabeth was also Elizabeth and was fondly nicknamed the ‘Queen Mum’
She lived to age 100 ...
Her daughter, the queen was never referred to as the Queen Mother ...
Because Me Me Me schadenfreude demands that you acknowledge my self righteous rant..
have you learned nothing in Karen School? /s
Whatever you may think of the woman, I believe she had a kind heart, was a lifelong horse person, and i never heard her comment about stupid people.
I think Charles V was German ...
Katherine of Aragon was Spanish ...
Queen Elizabeth II was a devout Christian. In that, as in much else, she set a good example.
She even took heat for it. In 2000, her annual Christmas address mentioned that we shouldn’t forget what “2000” referred to - two millennia since the time of Christ. The liberal media howled in outrage that she had the audacity to state their fact. You see, we’re supposed to forget that our calendar is built around the Christian faith. Like saying “CE” instead of “AD” changes the fact we count our years from the birth of Jesus. The queen was bold enough to remind us of this fact
May she Rest In Peace and rose with Christ
I was thinking the same thing. Someone sure cares a lot about her and her life. lol
Well, the Royal Family is responsible for maybe $6 billion in revenue from tourism, they sell rights to events like weddings, funerals and tributes so, they are responsible for even more loot.
And we aren’t talking about just a queen. Here family represents lineage that crosses borders and has resulted in “Marriage” deals or prenups that have prevented wars or improved trade deals.
But, her lasting contribution was her steadfast leadership during the bombing of London and providing leadership to her family, which the citizens of the UK look to in times of crises.
Keep a stiff upper lip and carry on.
Without The Church of England the Protestant movement would not be where it is today so, sorry Anne Boleyn but, I’m a Baptist....
