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.
I’m not bitter, I don’t understand the love Americans have with the royal family.
We are a Republic, which fought a war to gain independence. I do not hold to any respect for any other nation that thinks they are better then us.
Go ahead and bend down to kiss their feet.
But for the next week or more they will be on our news 24/7 until after the ceremony of Charles being officially crowned king.
Before this is over, 95% of Americans will begin feeling the same about the so-called royal family as I do.
She is dead, I pray her soul is with the Lord, but I will worship at the feet of no man or woman just because she was a Queen.
I know an old lady who walked with Jesus for 80 years who died just recently. No one gave a crap, because she was a nobody. Well, this queen was a nobody to me. You worship and act like she was a goddess, not me.
As I said, as far as being another human made in the likeness of our Creator, I mourn her passing, but she was pro-abortion. How many abortions would have been stopped if she instead believed in life and used her position to fight to end abortions in England?
Besides being pro murder of the unborn, she also did a terrible job of raising her 4 children. They all turned out to be leftists.
Dear Facebook
Eh ???
She was prochoice, that is not a Christian stance.
Well, Britain ended slavery decades before we did and it didn’t cost 700,000 lives
Protestant reformation happened despite Henry, not because of him.
Get your facts straight. He only reformed so he could get a divorce.
Charles was Spanish. Get your history straight.
If he was German, Luther would not have been able to hide in Germany
Thread winner
And within less than a century, Britain was leading the international effort to end slavery in Africa, and they did it.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was a bestseller in Britain. Some historians credit it for helping to prevent Britain from aiding the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Some of Britain's elite wanted to lend military support to the CSA. British industrialists still got much of their cotton from the South. But so many common British voters were rooting for the North, Parliament declined aid to the CSA. They decided to focus more on India for their cotton needs.
So on balance, Britain did far more to end slavery than to preserve it. More than any other modern nation.
Actually Protestant Reformation happened centuries before Henry ...
England was pro slavery during the colonial years and up past the revelation.
Christian colonialist tried to get England to outlaw slavery, because they saw it as appauling. The King refused, because the crown’s plantations needed the slave labor.
Fact, look it up.
They abolished it many years after the Revolution was over. Yet they still shipped slaves all over the World. Who do you think was supplying the slaves to the United States? It was England with the approval of the British Government.
Study history.
I totally don’t understand the love thing either...
I’ve had fun visiting castles and the bloody tower but, gotta say if I were King Henry VIII....I probably would save the life of Jane Seymour born 1951 and stunning...
England enabled slavery to continue for years, because they controlled the high seas trading, and most slaves came to the US via British ships, before Wilberforce was able to end their participation in the slave trade. Slavery was outlawed in England, but not slave trading. Without English ships slavery would have most likely died away a lot earlier due to lack of slaves.
Thank you for recognizing the courage, grace, stamina, and selflessness of a woman forced to live a life she did not want to Do her best to maintain stability during turbulent decades!
May Queen Elizabeth, at long last, rest in peace!
Well yes, to your point but, the Protestant Movement was hastened by the reformation.
And why the attitude bro...
I wasn’t disagreeing with you just, adding content and context.
I don’t get the whole Queen/King thing but, it would probably good to be King....
Still, Windsor Castle seems like a pretty awesome place to live, were I king...
In Europe it began much earlier, but not in England. England was part of the Catholic Church and so no reformation happened until Henry.
The reformation happened at different times in different areas. Luther started it, but it took until !550s when Henry split.
Your forgot the “in-bred’ part. Anyone who agrees with ‘royalty’ can never be conservative. “Royalty” is simply an accident of birth. The entire “royal” family are simply in-bred welfare recipients.
“Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain. Her leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world,” Trump said in a statement from his website 45office.com.On September 9, after Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II had died at age 96 at her Balmoral home in Scotland, multiple rainbows seemed to spontaneously appear in the skies over the United Kingdom.The former president shared condolences on behalf of himself and former first lady Melania Trump.
“Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor. What a grand and beautiful lady she was—there was nobody like her!”
Trump said during his presidency that he was a “tremendous fan” of Queen Elizabeth, telling British newspaper The Sun that “she has really never made a mistake.”
... “May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care,” Trump concluded in his Thursday statement.
Nobody has asked you to ‘bend down’ or ‘kiss’ anything. You could just ignore all of this, very easily. But your ego wouldn’t allow that.
Tucker Carlson had an interesting segment tonight regarding some of the ostensible concerns in your ungrammatical, misspelled and egotistical rant:
