Thoughts?

Before the current Great Recession is over many Europeans will be begging the Hapsburgs to take over and accept all the blame.

A Holy Roman Emperor has the right to rule if elected,

just as Holy Muslim Emperor Obummer does.

Strange. The law seems to imply that the Austrians don’t trust themselves. If Hitler had offspring, would it behoove Germany to ban them from office? Would Americans be afraid of a direct descendent of George III (born on American soil) running for POTUS?

Teh legitimacy of German Austria lies in the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

It is pathetic to have Hapsburgs kneel to the EU. Although I have a soft-spot in my heart for the Hapsburgs, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the prison of nations. Even if Franz Ferdinand had lived, become Emperor, and given Slavs "representation" in making Croats co-equal to the German Austrians and the Hungarians (the Hungarians would have screamed bloody murder), it would still have been a prison of nations and fallen apart. It's only virtue was as a mixture of racial and religious tolerance tied to Catholic Heritage. To have the Hapsburgs go to the EU is appaling. Many members of my family are rolling over in their unmarked graves. (Unmarked because they as Jews were better Austrians than that syphilitic corporal.)
