If Shakespeare were alive today, he would instantly recognize the New York Times and its treasonous ilk, because Shakespeare feared nothing more than treason and civil war -- which is exactly what happened to the Roman Empire after the plotters stabbed Julius Caesar to death in the Forum.
In our Civil War, a war fought about the Constitution and freedom, 600,000 people died; it was far and away our worst war, and today's demagogues are still trying to twist the reality of that war to sucker all the airheads of the left.
In American history it was the Democrats, of course, who fanatically supported African-American slavery, and who stirred up rebellion against the constitutionally elected president, one Abraham Lincoln, an outsider to the whispering cliques of DC. Lincoln was fiercely hated by selfish Deep Government of the time.
It was also the Democrats who started the Ku Klux Klan, to terrorize African-Americans, and to stir up treason by lynch mob. More recently it was Senator Robert (Sheets) Byrd who started his political career as a segregationist KKK lynch mob leader, hating on blacks.
If it had been up to the establishment of Lincoln's day, African-American slavery would still be here. Instead, far too many inner city black people are still chained to welfare, endemic violence, broken families, and other liberal contrivances, all in Democrat-dominated inner cities.
Shakespeare served the Court of Queen Elizabeth, filled with power-hungry plotters like Jim ("Li'l Leaker") Comey and John Podesta, who started the Russia scam that now has the airheads of the media fulminating. In Elizabeth's Court the Russian rumor would have called been a Spanish plot, but that's the only difference.

Shakespeare kissed but to the English monarchy in many many ways in his plays. If you know the difference between the “art” and the actual history it’s pretty clear what he did. There was a whole lot of dynastic succession to be justified between the Tudors, the Yorks and the Landcasters and Bill the Bard certainly dished out the party line.
Our problem is not Shakespeare. Our problem is the self-serving scoundrels that call themselves Republicans in the House and Senate.
Shakespeare had a way with words, if you like that sort of thing.
The NeverTrump Demincrats and RINOcrats pervert everything they touch, including Shakespeare.
Shakespeare’s father John was a secret Catholic and suspected of close involvement in the Gunpowder Plot.

Always good stuff at American Thinker, but...the article mentions “within 24 hours of Hillary’s defeat Podesta had cooked up the Russia hacking story.”

What’s your opinion on Shakespeare authorship?
I think that William Shakespeare wrote all of his own plays, although he did borrow some ideas from contemporary authors such as Marlowe (as was the custom of the time).
Actually, Shakespeare was walking a tightrope without a net in many of his plays, playing rather fast and loose twixt Catholic and Protestant theologies. “Twelfth Night” is a good example with the curate, “one Master Topaz”. Another is Romeo and Juliet” with the character of Friar Laurence, always dancing along the edges: “Benedicite”, and “Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift.”
Then there’s “Hamlet” in which Catholic vs Protestant doctrines are constantly bandied back and forth.
Shakespeare grew up in a Catholic world. Then Protestant. Then Catholic. Then Protestant again.
Very much of his own conflicted(?) person is found within his plays.
