Last year, I learned to read enough German to read the political platform of
the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union of Angela Merkel's
party. While I thought that Frau Merkel would be an American
backside-kisser, I thought that this relationship world not involve intimate
settings, such as a wild boar roast. I also suspect that this is another
attempt by the American political hacks in the Bush Administration to once
again divide Europe - this time with Frau Merkel and Germany - and prevent
Europe from acting in the world without its American chain leash.

In doing so, the Washington political hacks have once again stoked a weak
link in Europe. For one, Mrs. Merkel, who I actually admire, is
demonstrating two of the greatest sins of some European leaders, especially
my fellow Christian Democrats in Europe. The first, is the
obsessive-compulsive disorder of "eternal gratefulness" embodied in the
notion that Europe "owes America something" for both the Cold War and WWII.
The second idea, related to the first, demonstrates how much some European
leaders are so willing to undermine and subvert, Christian Democratic
principles, European aspirations and their own national identity to kiss
American backside.

What Angela Merkel is doing is harmful to how post-WWII Germans defined
their national identity in relation to Europe. The post-WWII Germans defined
their new national identity as Christian Democratic, the opposite of Nazi
militarism. The idea of "Europe" to post-WWII Germans was defined as
opposite to their Nazi past of European conquest and militarism. In fact,
the CDU party of Germany embraced the European project and collective
European identity. This included a social market economy that is really
about social justice. To be a German is to be in support of the European
project, and this today includes independence from the American chain leash.

The greatest criticism that I have against my fellow Christian Democrats in
Europe is that they believe out of sheer ignorance that "Christian politics"
in America are the same is Christian Democratic principles and policies in
Europe. NOPE - not even close maybe - and to believe this is wrong from
beginning to end! This difference is measured in the opinions on the death
penalty and social justice - including the European project. Christian
Democrats in other European nations speak and write of Europe as freed from
the American leash and Europe acting as an independent force for good in the
world - even if that means Europe in opposition to American policy.

Christian Democracy sprang out of largely Catholic social teaching (although
CD principles are subscribed to by many other religions), which in American
Evangelical "Christian politics" has been labeled "socialism" and
"un-American." American Evangelicals also believe that the death penalty is
written in the Bible, and they (along with non-Christians) subscribe to
Evangelical, revenge-oriented, criminal justice. They have subscribed to
this despite the fact that the majority of those in involved in the American
criminal justice system, this includes those in prison, prosecuted for
crimes, often bare the greatest burden of the death penalty - are the
America poor and underclass. "Fend for yourself," Social Darwinism, and
Neo-Calvinist notions that the "rich are better blessed by God" -is part of
American Evangelicalism and "Christian politics." American Evangelicalism
and "Christian politics" is polar opposite to Christian Democratic
principles of social teaching and justice. Lastly, Christian Democracy was
also created in opposition to socialism - a fact that is intentionally
missed by American conservatives, including Bush's American Evangelicals.

For Frau Merkel to kiss American backside is to undermine and damage the
identity of the German nation and its orientation toward Europe, including
the emerging European identity. Germans have defined themselves as
Europeans, not Americans, and certainly not in favor of American militarism.
Once again, Frau Merkel is yet another European leader that suffers from
that mental illness that places Europe's interests last to the notion of
"we owe America something." So, Frau Merkel continues the cycle of European
leaders' dependence and addiction to favors and trinkets from Washington.
This dependence and addiction that leaders like Merkel have on American
favors and "eternal gratefulness" will undermine the European project, and
if this mental disorder that leaders like Merkel suffer from is not
treated - the result will eventually erode and be devastating to European
identity and society. Germany - Europe -you do not "owe America something"
and you must stand up to sell out, sick leaders, like Angela Merkel.

Frau Merkel is truly sick - and in her sickness she must not be allow to
drag Europe down..!

Think for yourself.



Is it not true, sufferings await us? Few thousand years ago, Chinese
Emperors used tortures to frighten and control the masses and the infamous
style: Thousand knives, Tens Thousands cuts.



The victims would be cut a thousand ways, but would be alerted to survive
and breathe. It is suppose to inflict the greatest pain to the fellows. It
was the worst kind of tortures ever known to mankind.



The Lord Jesus actually revealed a kind of tortures and sufferings beyond
human comprehensions. In all of human histories and all imaginative fiction
writers, none ever thought of such thing. However Jesus was describing a
reality, real and presently children of Adam are now being tormented.



The fires not quench, nor their worms died, and there the prisoners gnashing
their teeth, wailing and weeping.



Jesus describes of such a place, for all sinners, and their duration of
pain, and fear and torment, according to Jesus is, Eternal. The Person who
created such an everlasting place is Almighty God, to punish the Devils and
Evil spirits that rebel Him.



Jesus leaked out a secret well kept for many centuries and it shock the
entire human race: Hell was created for the Demons and Devils, and it is not
for human being. God didn't thought about it, and God never tell lies.



The Devil knowing he has such short time, deceive as many as possible to
join his sealed-fate.Surprisingly, there are only Demons and Devils whose
fate is sealed and certain, somehow words goes around that our fate is also
sealed, which is not true of course.



Jesus said we can be saved, healed and escape damnation. Simply by
repentance of sins, accept His sacrificial on the cross for you, and you
must call on Him to save you.



We actually live to die. For a fact, our Fathers is about to die. Grief and
sorrows are just around the corner for all of us. Every child that was born
was ignorantly brought about by the Parents, unsuspecting that much pain and
tortures wait for the child.



Sickness hurt the families. Diseases inflict upon the human bodies. The
emptiness and hollowness of life, and the meaninglessness of it, drive
people to do stupid things.



Human beings are the most sickening thing on Earth. It is bad luck to be in
this world. It is "sway". Who can escape some sorts of torment and tortures
along our living? Only to realize all pain is a prelude to a greater pain
and sufferings beyond death. Despite such knowledge, people still foolishly
brings in more babies into this world to suffer.



Even though you may come to be saved now, but there is no guarantee you will
remain faithful till the end, and not betray God. There are temptations and
trials in this life, and the Devils always seek your soul. The truths has
been, Christians do backslide and became Judas Iscariot. Jesus although gave
Salvation freely to human race, but getting people to receive Him already is
not easy. Some however just throw away Eternal Life just like that, couldn't
careless about the consequence, just for the fleeting pleasures of life.

One need to repent and live right, and be clean in order to enter the narrow
way. The facts and realities of life is this: Broad are the ways to
destruction, and narrow is the way to Heaven.



You must seek the narrow way to Eternal Life. Is that easy?
