Millions of people in Britain and the Commonwealth are vehemently disagreeing with you as we write.
The ignorance of many people here of so many things - history; culture; the complications of statecraft, diplomacy and the sphere and limitations of the British Monarchy; the depth of the ultimate importance of individual *character* - is all astounding to me.
You should know better.
Then you might despise God. He is a monarch, and it is He who sets up kings on the earth per Daniel 2:21. And per pastor Jonas Clarke, the USA has “no sovereign but God and no king but Jesus”, so there is a form of monarchy inherent in our founding.
The worst troubles on this planet have not been perpetuated by monarchs anyhow, at least not constitutional monarchs. We didn’t slay our monarch as France did theirs; we broke away from him.
We can argue that point, but GOD would not use a Godly person to accomplish a terrible task.
God used Pharaoh, but he was not a good dude, God used Hitler, but he was not good.
Show me where GOD used Godly people to accomplish a bad thing.
Even when GOD allows bad people to do terrible things, he is only emboldening the heart of the one that wants to do it, but only stops from doping bad at the urge of GOD.
Sometimes GOD will allow ones own desire to take front stage if it is in HIS plan for greater Glory
i.e., Joseph being sold into slavery by his brother.
Another example is Nebuchadnezzar destroying Jerusalem and the Temple and taking the people into captivity.
God does allow bad people to do bad things, He does not allow good people to do evil things.
Read what I said again, I gave a caveat that I feel the same about many American politicians and Wealthy Americans who want us to be sold into communism
Did you read only what you wanted to read?
So, what does your comment mean?
You meant to reply to someone else?
My post #60 was about the late queen and royal assent. I along with many others certainly wished she had used it to stop abominations like the 1967 Abortion Act and 2013 “Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act”.
I agree. I love history, just because I think kings and dictators are mostly evil entities, I love the things they built.
I just don’t allow my love of historical things to get in the way of logic and wisdom.
GOD did not want us to have Kings, and history shows us why.
you are gracious man.
You want to be with them, today England sucks, every European country sucks.
As bad as the United States is getting we are still better, but not for long.
It is their values Biden's, Clintons, Obama, Pelosi and others want us to be like
They can keep their damn values, they suck.
If you like their values so much, move to SF, or NY, or Chicago.
Open your eyes and read the threads.
Faiir point, but I believe it was well armed lords and religious (but also well armed) Puritans who forced the King to accept government by parliament, and they even executed the King and banned the Monarchy once before.
Where did you get that crap from?
Democracy is the best form of government, actually Representative Democracy, with a strong free capitalist system.
Monarchies work mostly off crony capitalism, the friends of the king are always at the top.
Christianity is Freedom. That is why America is a Christian nation. Not simply demographics. It is because both things are built on the individual's ability to run his own life and determine his own final destiny.
You don't need govt to grant your freedom. And you don't need religion to save your soul.
It is no sin to desire a Free Republic instead of a ruling king nowadays.
But no form of govt is always good. Boris gave the Brits an English Greta. King James gave the world an English Bible.
There are plenty of British royal failures to highlight, same as the kings of the bible. But without the monarchs and the kings of the Catholic and other Christians religions defending the faith at times, America would quite possibly have been born a colony of Muslim tyranny.
A decent Christian in this queen's case can honestly hate the monarchy while respecting the monarch.
I would have loved to meet the lady who met every president since Moses.
And I will.
We didn’t exactly spring fully formed from the brow of George Washington.
You need to go back and learn how much our political ideals and legal system DID take from the English.
Spare me your ignorance. You obviously worship at the NWO, WEF order and kneel before their lies. I am not sorry to stand against these bastards every step and chance I can.
I read that during the 300 years before their downfall, the Romanovs executed several thousand people. Whereas within the first few years of their rule, the Bolsheviks had executed over a million. (And Stalin hadn't even come to power yet.)
You might also ask how the Kaiser compared to Hitler, or the Emperors to Mao. I'm guessing Mao was responsible for more deaths than every Chinese emperor of the last several thousand years combined.
You just do that! I’m sure you’ll make a big difference...
UMM, look at the sycophant love affair we see every time a royal person dies, gets married, etc. etc.
They act like they are gods and goddesses.
If you cannot see it then your are truly blind.
Hell, Americans treat Hollywood actors, actresses, sports stars the same way. Look how the left fawns all over Obama’s and the Clintons.
Open your eyes and show me one person posting the Queen was a goddess.
By your silly standard Freepers say Trump is a god.
