No, they need the moral guidance of a fuhrer.
What’s the difference? And where will they find these angel monarchs to manage society?
Talk about a special-interest lobby.....
Yeah, cause it worked out so well last time!
Schultz says something in half-pandering to a visiting "royal": "Germany was much better off under an emperor."
(Then the expected "What am I saying?" after remembering he's under The Third Reich.)
The intent of an “upper” and “lower” chamber of a representative body is to have the INTERESTS REPRESENTED laid out publicly and quite clearly.
The wealthy, powerful, influential people of society are represented by the upper chamber, whereas the “ordinary citizens” who do not have much wealth, power or influence individually are represented by the lower house.
Each viewpoint is important, but both must be taken into account when a government makes decisions.
The interests of the “ordinary citizens”, however, can become completely neglected if their representives in their chamber become beholden to wealthy, powerful interests.
What’s even worse, if powerful interests are able to operate secretively behind the scenes of both chambers, the result can, in essence, become a “captured state”.
A free press that is independent of any such secretive influences, which has and exercises a sufficient capability of investigative reporting, as well as an educational system and cultural and artistic environment that is free as well are necessary to prevent brainwashing of the public.
Both chambers must act in the best interest of the nation, which is not the case when powerful transnational interests are influencing them in ways that the public is not aware of or is powerless to prevent.
What it is missing is God and a sense of what it means to be a nation under God.
But a king by divine right isn't appointed by parliament. If God chooses you then you simply are king and a whole series of consequences flow from that. Just remember that kings aren't hired, they emerge usually from out of tragedy and chaos. Its not something to aspire to.
“All people are born equal but some are born to lead, and others to follow. This is not a human made concept, but a God-made one.”
Maybe, but being "leader" isn't a job with salary and benefits you apply for and are hired for. If you are a leader, then lead. You don't wait for HR to check your references and then call you back, you lead.
Eventually, the country will need more than its finances and infrastructure being taken care of. It needs spirituality and religion and without God, Prince Philip added, saying Germany was running the risk of putting too much importance on money.
Without God, Germany like any country runs the risk of sinking into tragedy.
He's a vicar. If its a job, then he has his salary. If he has been called to it, though, then he has already been called to lead. He has a Disneyesque image perhaps of what it means to be a king. He may or may not understand he has already been handed a stage on which to act out his role and lead.
If Germany wants a king, it can have ours.
Yeah, a “moral” king is just the ticket, since the moral guidance of Christianity has all but disappeared from the German landscape and replaced with a mix of secular humanism and islam.
the inbreeding and moonbarking mental illness inherent in their royal families brought down some of the other monarchies in Europe
no thanks!
People long for some meaning or purpose in their lives. When you reject those things that gives such meaning, such as belief in God, you have to find meaning in human beings or institutions. Germany, just as all of Europe, is suffering from a spiritual rot. It is desperate to find something in which to believe. I could you give several anecdotes from my years of living in Germany to make my point; however, I found that the new religion in Germany is environmentalism. Eventually, they will tire of that, and they may become monarchist. Who knows?
Has a kind of catchy rhythm to it, doesn't it? And a sort of familiar sound.
He makes a good point, but he could make another point. A monarch always works in the national interest because he is by virtue of his office a father of the nation. At this point Europe is filled with democratic governments that represent anyone except the nation that elected them. Same applies to America of course, but we at least have the excuse of not having a legitimate monarch.
And that worked out ever so well.
Christ is KING of KINGS — and the monarchies of Europe fell in the most brutal of ways when they forgot this fact. And much more chaos followed and continues to when the people they ruled over seek replacements for their kings in sources other than Jesus.
Hence antichrists like Hitler, Stalin, and others coming to fill in the gaps
The British Monarchy has done a good job though of adjusting with the times while balancing tradition. I am glad the Queen, the princes exist as holders of these titles not just for the good of their country, but of the rest of historical Europe also. And now an American Duchess is in the mix, which makes the monarchy even better and more relevant to wider swathes of people. There is much to appreciate about the institution. :)
