RamZPaul seems to be a monarchist. Umm, no. My only king is Jesus, who really is divine, unlike human kings. There has to be a better way. Monarchism is just another path to tyranny. Anarchism doesn't work, either. The government that governs best governs closest to the people. Local and regional councils, like the Indians had, for example.
He's really got a thing against Jefferson. The Declaration was "poorly written? Don't think so. He forgets that King George did not want the colonists armed.
He's right that hierarchies were instituted by God, in the Garden of Eden: man is to be subject to God, and the wife to the husband. Those two things are despised by the Progs.
I was kind of sickened by the first questioner, but RamZPaul handled him well: "religion has a place in hierarchies."
The 2nd questioner had a good point, which RamZPaul spoke to by talking about a "reboot" of America.
He’s got a thing against the entire Enlightenment movement of that time and its leaders like Jefferson, because they gave us individuals with rights and power on par with those he sees as belonging to a much higher plane, who should rule — he sees voting as the source of the mob rule and runaway debt we have today, with black thug rappers as multi-millionaires, etc. Yes he advocates monarchy which is heresy to us of course, however there seems to be no satisfactory third alternative.....
He is hilarious, but his topics and points are very serious in terms of our society and future, etc. And his way of making complicated history and theory easily understood and thumbnail summaries are very good.
I’m skeptical of his advocacy for monarchism of course, although it’s possible, as he says, that a wise and benevolent monarch who mostly just leaves people alone would be much better than the FUBAR electoral leviathan of despotic bureaucracies and dystopian political correctness we have now. The monarchy thing does seem to me to be a roll of the dice in terms of hoping for wise and benevolent rulers, and planning contingencies for getting rid of bad ones. His take on the American Revolution is interesting in the way that he frames it (he’s not the only one I’ve encountered who does so) as being a somewhat exaggerated laundry list of transgressions by King George as a way of pouncing on an opportunity to launch a new experiment, etc.
