Deshalb wurden sie im Laufe der letzten 250 Jahre Schritt für Schritt proklamiert und in nationales und internationales Recht integriert.

A brash and loving portrait of an all-American institution, Mailman offers a deeply felt portrait of both rural America and the dedicated (and eccentric) letter carriers who keep our lives running smoothly day to day.

Die Rückkehr des Friedrich Merz. Das Ende der Ära Merkel hat ein Vakuum in der Union geschaffen, in dem sich viele als rechtmäßige Nachfolger sahen, viele mitreden und die Zukunft der Partei mitbestimmen wollten. In der Neuerfindung der großen Volkspartei, im Ringen um die Rolle in der Gesellschaft, war es am Ende unvermeidbar, dass ausgerechnet Friedrich Merz Kanzlerkandidat wurde, nicht Hendrik Wüst, nicht Markus Söder. Warum?

Es gab Versuche, den Inhalt zu skandalisieren, den Autor moralisch in die Ecke zu stellen und die inhaltlichen Argumente, die das Buch tragen, lächerlich zu machen. Von den Vorschlägen zur Abhilfe, die er in dem Buch machte, hat die deutsche Politik wenig bis gar nichts umgesetzt. Der Originaltext von 2010 wird noch in Jahrzehnten zeigen, was man hätte erkennen können, wenn man gewollt hätte, und was man hätte ändern können, wenn man die Ehrlichkeit und die Kraft dazu gefunden hätte.

Auch die Propagandaschlacht wird von allen Konfliktparteien erbittert und mit den modernsten Manipulationswaffen geführt.
