There’s always a few dumb asses left I guess. Does anyone there actually believe that divine right exists and that God has picked a monarch?
And anyway, I don’t think he’s right. He is just mad because his religion was probably lampooned too.

Jerks like this “nobleman” (whatever THAT is) would prefer moslems not be laughed at as long as it protected HIS religion too. A total low life. He has more in common with ISIS than he does Americas founders and the enlightenment.

The next cartoons should be aimed at this clown.

Don’t have to have a divine right.
Tribal tradition is enough.
There are excellent historical reasons for monarchy.
Its not something the US has needed, but the French are not the same as the Americans.

“There’s always a few dumb asses left I guess.”

What’s that saying about people who live in glass houses again?

“Does anyone there actually believe that divine right exists and that God has picked a monarch?”

Does anyone in this thread think the OP has anything to do with Renaissance or Enlightenment era political theories?

“And anyway, I don’t think he’s right.”

Okiedokie.

“He is just mad because his religion was probably lampooned too.”

That’s not what he says.

“Jerks like this “nobleman” (whatever THAT is) would prefer moslems not be laughed at as long as it protected HIS religion too.”

No. He says, “Charlie Hebdo is a vulgar paper, despising all opinions except its own, which, under the guise of freedom of expression, will allow provocative behavior to all. Charlie Hebdo is an aggressive newspaper that produces hatred of religions through its, supposedly, humor. Charlie Hebdo is the very image of the European atheist society which creates enmity and distress instead of respect and brotherhood among peoples and men, regardless of their differences, race, color, religion.”

Quite frankly, conservatives, have complained about the vulgar little rag that Charlie Hebdo is for years. I think the terrorist attack was wrong, of course. I also think that Charlie Hebdo was a vulgar rag - which is undeniable.

“A total low life.”

Okay, so let me see if I understand you. You’re saying that d’Orleans is a “low life” because he refuses to get caught up in a largely left wing “unity” campaign because he thinks it white washes the fact that the focus of that “unity” is a left wing, vulgar, atheistic rag? Really?

“He has more in common with ISIS than he does Americas founders and the enlightenment.”

Actually, no. He is not denying that Charlie Hebdo had the freedom to publish what they published. He is simply saying that there was nothing worthy to the magazine. It was trash. And he’s right. That’s why he wrote: “Words fail to tell the horror of the attack that hit the newspaper. I condemn this barbaric act and present to families and relatives of the deceased my deepest condolences.”

“The next cartoons should be aimed at this clown.”

Why? Because he exercised his right to free speech just like they did? Again, what’s that saying about people who live in glass houses?
