> Well, now. It took a bit of fumbling around in the Dark Ages, and a lot of royal family blood feuds to get to a Constitutionally neutered Monarchy over there, now, didn’t it?

And don’t forget a proper Revolutionary War — you know, where the good guys (Round Heads) got to chop of the King’s head in order to make him listen to Parliament?

That’s one thing you Yanks did wrong with your Revolutionary War: you didn’t chop off anybody’s head. Even the French got that part right with their Revolution. Even the Russians did, too.

Speaking of the reds....isn't it ironic that the biggest Trojan Horse Kruschev could've ever imagined, a near pure commie in the White House....does nothing but appoint "Czars" everywhere to control the country?

Well tens of thousands of Loyalists fled the country after the War taking a large part of the country’s wealth with them. About a third of NYC left.
