Isn’t it amazing how the abortionists are willing to destroy anything in their quest to be able to murder children?

Of Catholic interest?

Here's a question:

Is the right to legislate over the royal property in any way "fundamental right"? I don't think the Liechtenstein subjects would like the Parliament to legislate over their property.

Observe that the tangible issue before them is abortion. Evidently three in every four Liechtensteinians consider the royal veto as something that protects their rights and those of their children against the Parliament.

The monarchist sentiment is growing: in 2003 the country passed a new constitution strengthening the monarchy with 64% of the vote. Now it is 76% in favor of this key constitutional provision.

Showing the EU how federalism works.

However, if the prince had resigned, we could have given Lichtenstein John Roberts.

Liechtenstein is like another canton in Switzerland. It uses the Swiss Franc and the Swiss postal system. You pass through it in the blink of an eye as you drive through northeastern Switzerland heading towards Austria.

I lived in Canton Glarus in the 80’s and occasionally we would drive to Vaduz to visit a disco there that was quite popular at the time.

Good, Maybe that will keep them from sliding off the fiscal cliff of debt.

The Wonders of actually having someone who cares about the future stability of his country in-charge!

The principle of allowing various interests an effective veto is the basis for John C. Calhoun’s theory, expressed in this essay “A Disquisition on Government.” The principle is very interesting, and is an almost sure way to prevent one faction from ruling over everyone else. As Calhoun wrote, it also forces disparate interests to compromise, which makes for a more reasonable and moderate regime. He gave historical examples, some quite interesting.

There can be very little harm in the monarch’s veto of abortion. It does not hurt anyone to protect the unborn, after all. It is easy to tell which is the totalitarian side in this controversy. A strong hint is that the side which wishes mass death is probably not benign.

With the highest per capita income in the world...I doubt Liechtenstein wants to change much

Also, Prince Alois and Prince Hans-Adam make Obamao look like Joe Stalin on a bad day
