I have a third, compromise option. Sea lion. Look for some pictures. You’ll see what I mean.

George Washington, the greatest President, in his decision to decline the Kingdom of a new country, effectively ended the trappings of royalty for this country.

The people in Massachusetts have a different experiment:
How to take a whiskey-runner’s kids and prop them up for the last 60 years so as to squelch any semblance of rationality for the state.

Talk about decline of a commonwealth.

The Kennedy boys -- John, Robert and Edward -- were different. They won three elections to the House, 12 elections to the Senate and one to the presidency. From 1960 to 1980, they were major presences, active or off to the side, in every presidential contest.

The claim of and "American Royalty" makes no sense post 1969. After that the family's political successes were largely confined to New England. A more accurate description may be Massachusetts and New York royalty.

Don’t hold your breath, the “EXPERIMENT” isn’t over yet. They are already floating trial balloons regarding the communist Chavez loving Joseph Kennedy Jr or Uncle Teddy’s half his age wife running for his seat. The brain dead people at the Boston Globe and the MA electorate MUST have Kennedy MASTERS lording over and ruling over them because the voters of MA are for lack of a better term: S T U P I D!

"will seem bizarre to future generations."

Not yet to some apparently.
They have shifted from Camelot and the Once and Future King to Pharaoh now. Not quite over yet.
