Message: Entry: The German Disease Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_german_disease#2286 Post contents: I thank Cincinatus (sic) for proving my point about the ubiquity of Germanophobia. Truth be told, the EU resembles far more a bigger, bloated, and worse version the Richelieu/Louis the Great/Buonaparte vision of France: centered in one capital (Brussels), the members reduced to departments (local franchises of the central state), an imposed common currency,trampling on local culture, natural frontiers, driving out heretics, opposing the papacy, and grossly bureaucratic. The Holy Roman Empire was NONE of these things. And its greatest friends, Dante and Marsilius of Padua. were not Germans. Sent at: 2008 05 16
