I fully support constitutional reform (actually scrapping it and starting over would be closer to my idea) and I am glad to see Abe taking a firmer line with Psedo-Communist China. Given his record and how long he has been 'around' (in and out of power) it may be a good sign that Abe had enough support to take the top job but I still don't think the public has really made up their mind about where they want Japan to go. At least though I think most are starting to desire more self-sufficiency in defense and a more independent foreign policy which I think is a good thing.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-20113835574930423862013-05-20T20:04:14.329-05:002013-05-20T20:04:14.329-05:00Hey MadMonarchist, I was wondering what your thoug...Hey MadMonarchist, I was wondering what your thoughts on the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are. I've been reading he wants to modify the Japanese constitution, and among other amendments, his proposals would favor a more explicitly monarchist interpretation of the role of the Emperor. I wasn't sure if you were familiar with the situation at all or whether you thought it would be a step in the right direction.sjgmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048203420713784327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-90834190598041120912013-05-18T22:03:19.410-05:002013-05-18T22:03:19.410-05:00Hey, has everybody heard the good news?

Spain's economy is out of the depression, the unemployment rate has plummeted, real wealth is growing, and the national debt is being paid down, all because the King's yacht has been decommissioned. <br /><br />Oh, wait, it turns out the mess the politicians created is actually still just as bad as it has always been, even when the yacht was still in use. How odd.
