In his dotage, Madison seethed over lost opportunities to install a king over the new union created by his Constitution. He and his fellow schemers had thought that their several retreats on the grants of power they wanted to include could be made up by encroachments once the new United States was operating under its government. They underestimated the determination of the people who distrusted them.

Had Hamilton not been killed, he would have backed Madison up on those absurd ex post facto interpretations and we would have Ditto posting letters from both of the old royalists and insisting that we seat a Parliament and crown a king, probably that jug-eared little fake "texan" they foisted off on us. ;-)

So there we have it. The Official Gospel of the Neo-Confederate Cult is that James Madison was just an Old Royalist.

You guys are to too damn bizarre for words.
