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:
