Yes, I read it. How infantile and vain to think that only by not reading that insane drivel could I disagree with it.

Monarchy is by definition oppression. It has NOTHING to do with our Constitution - a document written by men who LOATHED Monarchy and the religious authorities that were so often their crutch.

“What influence, in fact, have ecclesiastical establishments had on society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the civil authority; on many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate it, needs them not.” Madison

The principle of freedom is what I am arguing.

No man can be free so long as he is a “subject” to a so called King.

You can call yourself free, and the house slave may think he is free also, but only free to be comfortable in your chains.

“Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” Samuel Adams

The king does not oppress anyone. You are reacting with 18c. infantilism. The king owns roads, mint, mail, etc. and fights wars if they happen. No go list for yourself the things that Washington DC is busying itself with these days, and stop posting me two century old slogans.
