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.
what is the revelation?
My apology, I was set off by others taking offense to me, and so my defense was up. I should not have had an attitude towards you. I apologize,
Hmmmmmmmmm
The father of Charles was born in Hapsburg his mother was the sister of Henry’s wife ...
The monarchy might even be a profit-making enterprise for the British public. I've heard the monarchy referred to as "Britain's answer to Disneyland."
The changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace draws countess tourists every year. Royal guards and castles plaster British travel brochures.
In some ways, the Royals are like those people in Mickey Mouse and Cinderella costumes at Disneyland. They get paid more, but that's part of the attraction. Unlike Cinderella they're "real" royals, and the high pay is necessary to keep up that illusion.
They also serve other purposes for the British government. PR and diplomatic stuff. If Britain fired its Royals, they'd have to hire more diplomats and PR flaks. They cost money too, and might not be as effective.
It's a cushy job, but it has its drawbacks. You can't tell the world what you believe. We're free to spout our own political opinions, write books, make YouTube videos and films, saying whatever we please.
They're even more deplatformed than us. Everything they say in public must first be vetted and approved by their woke Parliament. Step too far out of line, and you'll be fired or forced to resign.
I agree about that. When I was stationed in Germany back in the early 70’s I spent a lot of off days visiting castles and things totally cool.
What a waste of a vanity. Perhaps your next one should be your opus.
So true, I wish I would have thought on that, Thanks.
Luther didnt start it
It was a wink wink ban
Got no argument with you or your thoughts on this issue.
Totally an American viewpoint.
You are always a kewel dude...
You’re talking like a leftist. Read Daniel 2:21 for starters.
We fought a war for independence; the notion of setting up a republic was not unanimous by any stretch. A great swath of Americans would have been happy to see George Washington crowned as our own King George, remember; and George III was quite stunned that Washington refused a crown, which led to his admiration of Washington’s character for whatever that was worth. Not to mention the sentiment as rendered by pastor Jonas Clarke, “We recognize no Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus”, so in a spiritual sense we have to be a monarchy, which the First Amendment recognizes we have the right to do.
Biden, Clinton, Obama family says “what?”
Forgot Pelosi family.
She allowed their Church to defile Christ.
I want to go to that Disneyland castle...
People who think like you do - who don’t recognize the importance of ideals and values and their enshrinement in traditions - are one of the reasons our own country is going to hell.
Amen!
Oh I know that after Obama, the Queen was probably happy to meet a respectful man like Trump, and I know he and her got along well.
I have nothing against her, my whole talk is set off by the idea a King or Queen should be treated like a god or goddess by Americans. Thus my Welfare Queen take. Freepers hate Welfare Queens in America, well she and the whole royal line are a bunch of welfare brats living off the money they stole from the citizens of the country.
I think the same about the Clintons, while I do bel;iebve the Queen was a better person, aside form her pro-abortion stance.
Amen again!
How much of that is in the sovereign’s hands these days?
To hear some on FR talk, if she had used the reserve power of refusal of royal assent, the government would have risen up against her. Don’t know exactly how true that is, but that’s a dangerous situation; I doubt that Thatcher would have ever even threatened such a thing.
