The Civil War was not over Slavery, Martin Luther King was not a Democrat, George Washington was offered the American Crown, but turned it down, King George III has a bad rap from History, as Parliament had more to do with what was going on the colonies than he did, and moreover the continental Congress would have accepted no peace without independence- A lot of which I've learned from This very Forum, which seeded the fields and I had the initiative to harvest the wisdom thereof. Even worse, Most of the British People view Poor King George in the same light as the Americans. The Only fortune that Britain had in losing the American Revolution was that the King was not over here, lest he would have suffered the same sad fate as King Louis of France and the Czar Nicholas II. For a form of government supposedly founded on fairness, every Republic or Democratic revolution in history has a bad habit of starting its life with the mark of Cain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-23115390668830708182012-04-07T20:45:02.842-05:002012-04-07T20:45:02.842-05:00About that Spanish band, unfortunately their not t...About that Spanish band, unfortunately their not the only people who seemingly look at a powerless monarch and see tyrannical dictator and go about insulting them in a most disrespectful manner. Ignorance is bliss and republicans feed off it. This same ignorance prevents my fellow Australians from seeing our republican politicians slowly rip down the monarchy to its bones so they can have their de facto republic without public consensus. At least until the the same ignorant people think it is a good idea to have a republic because the monarchy is seemingly non-existent for them. España should count herself lucky to have Juan Carlos, a great monarch.<br /><br />Doctormadd about your comment. Your right but I think it can also apply to anyone living in a modern democracy, everyone is always upset with the leader for some reason. Campbell Newman just became Premier here in Queensland by a massive majority and he is already being bagged for making cuts in the arts to try to fill the deficit. But there are worse rulers, like in Syria. Nevertheless Republics are still seen as modern, progressive and popular while Monarchy is outdated, unprogressive, and undemocratic.Udileonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610608350599470580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-20341047162858365822012-04-07T10:27:05.816-05:002012-04-07T10:27:05.816-05:00Living, sadly in a republic, The people here are n...Living, sadly in a republic, The people here are never satisifed with their leaders, and no matter who is on office, about the half the country hates them. Revolutionaries will remain, sadly, revolutionaries. I finally found a means to prove our current president is nothing like Europe's monarchs. No European Monarchy since the General acceptance of Christianity has demanded worship of their people. George the Third was a far better ruler than any elected official alive now, and don't get me started on folks like Napoleon III and Queen Victoria. I think the band you mention needs to spend about a year under Castro's thumb in Cuba or Kim Jung Un in North Korea, to get a taste of where Republics lead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-8720246895716554032012-04-07T05:19:09.521-05:002012-04-07T05:19:09.521-05:00In reference to Spain, it is entirely appropriate ...In reference to Spain, it is entirely appropriate that just opposite the comments section here is your "Remember the Fate of Traitors" picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
