Here's a reference for you:

Acts 23:1 And Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, "Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day."
Acts 23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him to strike him on the mouth.
Acts 23:3 Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! And do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?"
Acts 23:4 But the bystanders said, "Do you revile God's high priest?"
Acts 23:5 And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"
Acts 23:6 But perceiving that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!"
Acts 23:7 And as he said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.
Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
Acts 23:9 And there arose a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, "We find nothing wrong with this man; suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
Acts 23:10 And as a great dissension was developing, the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

Paul acknowledge one should not speak in an aggressive manner toward a ruler of the people. He did NOT take back what he said about Ananias being punished by God. He skillfully got them to fighting with each other instead of concentrating on him. This hatred and disrespect of Trump is intolerable. When God is finished with him, He will remove him. For the time being, leave him alone and work through the election process to change things. If you can't, then live with the results of the election, just as Obama said.

1775-1783 means that an American President doesn’t how to bow and scrape before any foreign ruler, even the Queen of England.

I suppose it was Trump, the TV personality mugged the camera and actually had the queen follow him down the review line. You can tell it was a breach of protocol and the queens discomfort and at a loss, this queen who has probably been confronted with every single type of breach of protocol there is over her lifetime, but then came The Donald. How dare he come between the camera and the queen.

The only thing funnier could have been Trump photo bombing the queens photo shots.

In a liberals mind, there is no disrespect if the object of your disdain deserves it ...

There is no simpler truth to their warped view..

The Queen be damned!

The old bat ain't old enough to remember a little dust-up that we call the Revolutionary War, or even the War of 1812...but our history remembers it well, for WE won...which means we don't bow or curtsy or any of that "Royalty" horsehit.

The old bat IS old enough to remember how WE came to the rescue of England in another little dust-up called WWII.

And if we had not...SHE would be speaking German and cleaning Frau Merkels shoes for her.

I have no use for this Blue Blood silliness...and although I don't advocate a direct insult to the old bat, I certainly do NOT want my President kowtowing to some ancient silly ritual out of the nebulous belief that some human is somehow more "worthy" simply from an accident of birth.

I'll stand and fight right along Tommy (and have), but I'll not kiss the ass (or hand) of his Queen, nor do I demand he show anything other than basic respect for my President.

President Trump did nothing that should be elevated to this level.

Had it been me, I'd of grabbed the old bat by hand and told her to get the lead out of her panties and get this silly-ass charade over with, so the adults can get to problem solving.

But they're okay with Obama not even knowing he was talking over the British national anthem. (Probably thought they were playing ?My Country 'Tis of Thee" as background music for him.
