We’re all used to hearing “The King is dead. Long live the King”.

The idea is that the country is never without a monarch. The instant one dies, the next in succession takes his place.

Class, taste, decorum, honor, and duty seem to be in short supply these days.

Even more so today.

How exactly did she serve her country well?

By acceding to every stupid thing her subjects wished to do.

Classy lady, RIP. Britian is in morning.

When Obamalamadingdong gave her an ipod filled with his speeches as the formal gift from a new President, she was able to deal with the jive turkey well.

I think we mourn more the World that has passed since Elizabeth’s reign began. Truly the last link to the old world.

A lot has occurred over the past century.

Serious question, does their national anthem change now?

The Queen is supposed to stay out of partisan politics. You can argue there are some issues that were too important not to get involved, but then again if she had it would have sparked a constitutional crisis since the queen still has some powers that are technically within her rights yet are never exercised.

Used to drive by every work day. It was sad when it finally came down.

I’m so very sad. She was the reigning Queen when I entered this world and I am in my 8th decade of life. She was a devoted monarch.

However, as Queen, she was Supreme Head of the Church of England. In her reign, she gave Royal Assent to the Abortion Act in 1967. From there, the Church of England has gone on to embrace the post-Christian legitimacy of homosexuality.

I will pray for her soul.
