A Constitutional Monarchist's Lament

Monarchist judges Founding Fathers mistaken in their efforts

Politics is a funny game and usually there is a great deal of obfuscation and mis-direction at play when different sides espouse the fundamental ideology that animates their arguments and mission. That's true everywhere, but it's especially true in the USA for several good reasons:

  • The two party system - Each of America's primary parties serve the function of aggregating a very diverse collection of political beliefs held by different (often competing) special interests.
  • The truth hurts - The true beliefs held by these two parties, and the various minor political parties (Libertarian, Communist, etc.) rub people the wrong way so telling it straight makes it a lot harder to win elections.
  • It's easy to lie - The news media and commentators in general are useless, ahistorical doormats who work in sycophantic and symbiotic collusion with the major political parties to maintain unchallenged order in the regime.

So it's rare, and refreshing, when someone comes right out and says it out loud for all the world to see (or read in this case) and that's exactly what Dylan Matthews did in his Vox.com article "3 reasons the American Revolution was a mistake." The reasons are wonderfully honest and compelling for the Vox.com readership and I recommend reading the entire thing to understand the mindset free Americans have been struggling with since the Revolution. This is what a Harvard College education ($60k per year) will get you - lamenting slavery, aboriginal genocide and republican government.
And parliamentary democracies are a lot, lot better than presidential ones. They're significantly less likely to collapse into dictatorship because they don't lead to irresolvable conflicts between, say, the president and the legislature. They lead to much less gridlock.
See, this young thinker believes we live in a presidential democracy - he's not even aware of the form of government he's living in, but even if he did he still wouldn't like it. He's a Constitutional Monarchist to the bone and like all of his brethren he would have been a loyal Tory in 1776 just as he is today.
Finally, we'd still likely be a monarchy, under the rule of Elizabeth II, and constitutional monarchy is the best system of government known to man.  
There you have it my fellow citizens - The modern Democrat party ideology in a nutshell. Republicanism is for the birds, like the bald eagle, who float on the wind of freedom, but for us who walk the earth - please give us back our King.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
