"Do not forget that every people deserves the government they tolerate." (Hans Scholl in the leaflets of the White Rose)
The German people not only endured many a criminal or immoral government but hailed almost throughout history people ruled by Germany, which were more than lousy types. Not that you see the lousy character previously could not, no, just because of these negative characteristics, these rulers and governments with a majority of the German people so popular. Kaiser Wilhelm II was almost deified, and these were not only forced lip service, but his arrogant nature pleased the Germans. With great enthusiasm we wanted the war, Wilhelm fall only because it had not worked out the plans of conquest. Not out of democratic purification cried to him after the abdication no more tears, but because of his perceived weakness to lead the country to victory.
When selecting the second to the democratically elected the President testified to the character of the majority of the German people to choose which from the outset it was clear what kind of person they were. An Imperial President Ebert was shooting, as now Gaddafi in Libya, on its own people and was elected anyway, and as a large majority of the old reactionary Hindenburg was elected President of the Reich, there were enough warnings that you choose a forerunner of Hitler Hindenburg would be: "You vote Hindenburg, Hitler chooses! Those who choose Hitler chooses to war! "
With the election of Hindenburg was once more the great sympathy of the German figures for negative politics. And is often forgotten that in the Reichstag elections of 1933, the worst kind of politicians with 50% of the German people was selected, each ruled in Germany (Nazi Party: 43.9%, reactionary allies of Hitler, the battle front Black-White-Red (steel helmet, etc.): 8.0%).
Even after the Second World War inspired the German majority for more than dubious politicians, the splitter and upgraders Adenauer chose several times to the Chancellor, as a Kiesinger as Chancellor, despite his former membership in the Nazi Party was well known. As one of Beate Klarsfeld missed this Kiesinger a slap, because in the German mob howled and said of the injury to unsuspecting would be severely punished, in this a time when former Nazis and war criminals to operate unmolested in politics, economy and justice could, without the majority of Germans upset about it. Only by the majority of Germans hated ("send you to Siberia!") '68 A little decency brought into politics, could ultimately not prevail, were either own the establishment, or you tried to get rid of them, see the assassination attempt on Rudi Dutschke .
And in the East? Ulbricht and Honecker had often as a laughing stock, but were dangerous character of rags. Despite these serious politicians flocked little over 2 ½ Million East Germans in the SED. They had not forced, was not a comrade who had not necessarily live in poverty, but did not reach the meat pots of the DDR system. That from time to time politicians were also positive gain the sympathy of the Germans, it was with the election of Willy Brandt ("More freedom dare!) As Chancellor. This bright moments, however, were more than rare.
As a shining light for some time now by reactionary circles and some stupid newspaper of the Freiherr von Guttenberg, and presents the people, yes you build it as a future Chancellor systematic propaganda on. In September 2010, I wrote about it: http://barrynoa.blogspot.com/2010/09/gott-bewahre-uns-vor-einer-first-lady.html and in January 2011 http://barrynoa .blogspot.com/2011/01/die-mehrheit-der-deutschen-findet-von.html , it stolen to well before the scandal Guttenberg's thesis. Yes, and the Germans what they think now has the dubious from the start to Baron, she too happy with his wife Stephanie, like a royal couple want to have at its head? As expected, the popularity ratings of this type are still extremely high. Fraudulent acquisition of a Ph.D., claws of intellectual property, not all that bad! Mainly the judiciary is cracking down on strikes when a cashier a coupon for 50 cents, or if an unemployed person goes black with the tram, of course prison is approved: Procedure and law must of course be met with such cases strictly. The case shows the typical German mentality Guttenberg on one thing very clear.
Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg on Saturday (19:02:11) in Aachen received the Order "Against the deadly seriousness" award. Uh! So he gets me about the Felix Krull-Order! Alaaf, Karneval, Karneval!
