Yep. If that sounds like Japan circa 1995, you can see how endemic the idea has become.

get yourself a rifle and head to Asia.

Which Asian country permits gun ownership?

A careful reading of the Declaration will strongly support your contention. Jefferson attacked the King for violating the social compact that was a functioning Government, and for letting Parliament pass odious laws, interfering with the Colonists' basic rights. (See Declaration Of Independence--With Study Guide.)

In Nations with a largely non-homogeneous population, a benevolent Monarchy is often the best way to protect minority ethnic groups from what we see daily in much of the world. Popular Government requires a fundamental agreement on cultural values; hence it has only worked in a few places, for an extended period of time.

William Flax [Continuity, not "Diversity!"] As the Leftists create greater diversity, via the present insane immigration policy, the days of popular Government in America are severely threatened.

“This is how we got into World War II,” Rogers tells Yahoo, referring to Europe’s handling of its financial crisis.

Nice try, but Jimbo better stick to his puts and calls. The "finanical crisis" in Europe was well over by the time Hitler launched his expansionist dreams. Everyone but the US (thanks to fascist FDR) was on the mend. Germany had the strongest economy in Europe by then.

The next war will be with China.

Count on it. We need to pull our interests from that country, and start preparing.

NOW.

You are correct. Among the Founding Fathers there were many who considered a constitutional monarchy to be a viable form of government, understanding the need of a strong leader of central government but with stern limits on power to prevent abuse.

Washington could have had a crown for the asking, but to his credit he abhored the idea.

Democracy in the current "everybody votes" sense was widely distrusted and for good reason, as we have since seen. This was not fully resolved until the product of the Constitutional Convention.

>via the aggression it uses to gain manufacturing capacity by making the cost of doing business in China so low compared to the west that it is a natural decision for business to move there,

No no NO.
We in America did that all by ourselves. - There was no secret Chinese cabal working behind the scenes in dark circles forcing us to over regulate everything endlessly, to tax & fee everything to the nth degree,to have the highest corporate taxes in the world, and to allow unions to run amok with compulsory union memberships with automatically withheld dues.
We did all of that - and we did it mostly with unelected agencies like the EPA & the NLRB.

We are uncompetitive because government here is too damn intrusive!
