“The founding fathers could not have anticipated this.”

Several did (Through the power of the Judiciary and the folly from the expansion of voting “rights”), also those who did not anticipated “this” were warned/educated by the Anti-Federalist Papers.

And these were written by those who *stayed* and supported the revolution.

What about 1/3 of the colonialists who remained loyalists? How come history seems to be silent on what their objections were? Could it be perhaps predictions of exactly what has come to pass?

Look, I'm going to be perfectly honest here: I can go either way. If the US wants to engage in self immolation, I'm already positioned to be GOPe lording it over the large underclass. Like a minor Trump, I'm trying to warn people of what has happened and where it's going if they don't begin to fight back. But I'm not going to sacrifice myself if citizens won't attempt to save themselves. I can live perfectly well as an elite.

Roman Empire was a blink of an eye comprised of too few Patricians and citizens who were bought-off for cheap labor. Once the welfare State dried up, it was easy pickings because the citizens were too few and the cheap labor express could care less. Holy Roman Empire does not equal the Roman Empire btw. City-States and Balkanized realms does not make an empire.

Also, due process and Natural Rights in favor of perverted prerogative adjudication mires any form of earthly monarchy. Screw that, administrative law is bad enough, the Monarch’s court is a lot worse.

"His hateful comments of a ‘chill felt when DJT, POTUS, entered the pew’ by the other former Presidents.. That was totally uncalled for and he needs to APOLOGIZE . CHRIS WALLACE belongs at CNN or MSNBC .."

God moves mountains when it matters that they do......few realize that Pres. Trump and Bush both 'wanted' this to be about the family and their father.....they then led by example...

Power will always concentrate. Deposing a monarchy simply transfers the process to another plane. The finance/media conglomerates comprise the new aristocracy, exactly as Jefferson warned.

So, if the end result is the same, which one by its very nature tends to favor the civil rights and economic interests of the productive class? Because if the new boss is the same as the old boss, might one be more favorable yet?

That's the essential crux of the matter. Hereditary, culturally aligned property owners will align with the natives. Commercial, borderless corporatism will maximize whatever population power advantage they can gain.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. We are living & breathing this very maxim right here, right now.

"He loved to laugh - especially at himself," ...."He could tease and needle, but never out of malice. He placed great value on a good joke - that's why he chose [former Senator Alan] Simpson to speak,"........(the crowd erupts in laughter.) "His grading system for the quality of the joke was classic George Bush.... The rare 7s and 8s were considered huge winners, most of them off-colour."

"At age 85, a favourite pastime of George HW Bush was firing up his boat, The Fidelity, and opening up the three 300-power engines to fly across the Atlantic with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up." -George Bush Jr.-

"At age 90, George H W Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of St Ann's [Church] by the sea in Kennebunkport, Maine."...... "Mother liked to say he chose the location just in case the chute didn't open."

There isn’t a nation on this entire earth which doesn’t have a leader(ship) from their past who is either ignored and/or vilified. Some may have had tributes during their day, while others were deposed with expediency, but in all cases, current memory is certainly not one of somber remembrance.

We are actually sharing a memorial/funeral service with a nation and family for a former sitting President, and this along with our POTUS and FLOTUS........

It appears you're using it as a pedestal for airing and lecturing political grievances..... THAT is the proof of the pudding.

I'm not watching it, I don't have to,

I remember "read my lips, no new taxes".
I remember the murder of Vicki Weaver.
I remember the lies and set-ups of Gulf War I.
I remember how Ronald Reagan despised him.
I remember his disdain for President Trump.
I remember his NWO speech.
