I must get this off my chest. Mind you, this is more of a rant to all those feeling nostalgic and remorseful over a Queen who lived the life of privilege from birth to death. As much as I mourn the passing of any human, I pray she was saved. While I do truly feel she was a good woman, I do not understand the borderline worship so many in America seem to feel for her. She was nothing more to me than the World's biggest welfare Queen. Mind you, the royal family made their wealth off the backs of their citizens for over 1200 years.
I do mourn the passing of a human, nothing more nothing less. She was a figure head who never had power in all her life, because the Crown abdicated their rule 373 years ago. That is 373 years of continually collecting money from enterprises built upon the backs of slave labor the World over.
Can you name me one British Elitist who does not hate America? They go so far as to accuse America from getting wealthy of the World, when in reality it is the royal family, whom they worship, who made their money off slave labor from their colonies around the World. They were the one's colonizing the World for their benefit, the United States never ever colonized anything. Regardless of what the left claims.
So now they lost their beloved Queen, and the family of misfits continues to fleece the citizens of England by making money off the citizens. Think about it, it's their ancestors who made the royal family rich. All the while these foolish English citizens seem to worship the family like they are god's. A citizenry whom for the vast majority lived in abject poverty through most of the last millennium.
Sorry if I do not share everyone's sense of pride over someone who has passed away. Mind you, this woman was angry when one of her cousins spoke out against abortion. Yes, Shockingly the Queen Mother was pro choice. She did like Reagan and publicly got along with Margaret Thatcher, but the family all leaned to the left through the years. Today they are borderline radicle leftists.
Something else my fellow Christian brothers and sister need to know, the head of the Monarchy is the head of the Church of England. Yes the Queen Mother was the head of the church, now Charles is. A church that pretty much aligns closely with the doctrine of the Catholic Church, but in many cases is even more heretical.
Remember, the Church of England sprang up so that King Henry VIII could divorce his wife. However, the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, would not allow it because Henry's wife was his sister. So Henry began his own reformation by leaving the Catholic Church, which he then was allowed to divorce his wife. He then married Anne Boleyn in 1533, and 3 years later had her head removed. He claims because she committed adultery, but the truth is she failed to give him a male heir.
I will readily admit I have very little love or respect for the majority of politicians and mega wealthy individuals in America today. Since it is the evil alliance of the mega rich and politicians who are busily trying to push us back into the feudal system, better known today as Communism. OH, I know there are good politicians, and good rich people, but they are few and far between. So forgive me if I do not join on everyone's shock and sadness at the passing of the World's greatest Welfare Queen.
Typed too fast and hit post, Revolution I meant.
I am on my phone, and if I accidentally hit post I cannot edit it before I realized I posted.
Ah
thnx

Start at the year 1775 where it starts mentioning the colonies/states.
Forced to live a life of luxury and adoration by the masses? Wow, word to peasants who are truly suffering from crap these elites have burdened them with!
Ok cousins, but Charles refused to allow the divorce is my point, thus Henry started his own reformation.
His mother was Spanish, and he ruled from Spain. By the way, they were all intermarried. Which did not stop them from going to war, which those marriages were supposed to stop.
I have nothing against her, my whole talk is set off by the idea a King or Queen should be treated like a god or goddess by Americans.Which Americans are you referring to?
I’m certain she is knowing the peace of hearing, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’.
She was not exemplary or of any import to anything affecting anyone other than the elite BS power brokers. May she rest in peace, but she is not anyone’s heroine.
I agree, in all that.
Their money is made from industries they owned before the Monarchy officially ended its control of the government. Yet their busineses were all created by the slave labor of the citizens.
That is not arguable, it is a fact.
Maybe not in the modern American sense. But in the broader, historical sense, monarchy is a conservative concept rather than a liberal one.
Historically, conservatism is about preserving tradition, hierarchy, and putting checks on democracy. Liberalism is about individualism, tearing down class barriers, and promoting free markets and civil liberties.
The conservatism of late 20th century America is really the Jeffersonian liberalism of early 19th century America. And today's liberals are the revolutionary Jacobites of that era.
The world at large sees monarchies as conservative. It's Americans who've created this anomalous definition that equate conservatism with individualism and free markets.
I have no knowledge of this, but despise monarchy and always will. I do believe that is the reason the USA exists, however brief it may be today as a free republic!
It was smoldering until he lit the fuse.
To deny his thesis is the point of eruption is just plain ignorance.
It had many things that were in place, but his letter was the straw that broke the camels proverbial back.
For lack of other points, all historians agree his these is what did it. No going back after that.
I wrote a college these on this. If you are ever interested in reading not. I did post it to FR years ago.
My thesis is that the Renaissance is what actually set it in motion, and we could make an argument that the Black Death had a huge part in it.
Many here on FR idolizing a Monarch!
Thanks for accepting my apology.
If you’re going to have a monarchy, Elizabeth was the kind of person you’d want at the head of it. Charles and Camilla re not.
She seemed dignified, stable, elegant, and proper. We could use a little of that.
We won the damn war, I could care less how many people ran to Canada after the King signed the treaty.
Or how many sat on the sidelines.
Every war in history has the majority uninvolved. Those who fought and died did it, regardless of the 2/3 who were not fighting for freedom.
Your whole argument is ridiculous.
Show me one Freeper saying the woman they admire and respect is a goddess.
They go from being used and abused by one narcissistic group of elitist oligarchs to another ???
The only reason we broke that cycle is the Second Amendment, that's why its under attack.
Elitist oligarchs do not set up parliaments unless they are toy (rubber-stamp) parliaments.
