May it survive the attack of many of it’s citizens,
and may those attackers come to their senses,
or perish.
HRH can get over it. :^D
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Some day. :)
DeleteIn the words of William Wallace....
ReplyDeleteFREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!
I like them, er... that word. :)
DeleteIt's an interesting thought experiment to wonder how much more the UK WOULD have taxed us before even the tories felt the squeeze.
ReplyDeleteAnd they would have, because they're certainly liberals.
Until somebody rebelled....
DeleteIt's ironic, that the oppression of the Crown now pales today in light of the oppression that we vote in ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI question our worthiness of our supposed liberty.
We get what we pay/vote for.
DeleteThat Queenie meme cracked me up! Thumb's up.
ReplyDeleteWatching the Netflix series The Crown, one realizes how America-friendly she is. I thought the depiction of her activity with Billy Graham was fascinating.
DeleteHope you had a great day Ed.... We won our independence by a whisker with a couple of good battles.....at least at that point in time... So much depended on so little. Often wonder how the thing would have turned out otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThe Hand of God was so obvious (to someone that accepts there is a God) that we have a responsibility to Him to maintain what He delivered to us.
DeleteThe first pic of the Queen made me snort my afternoon bourbon. What a hoot! What a great pic!
ReplyDeleteMy apologies. I hope the snort didn't ruin your snort of bourbon. :)
DeleteThat made me laugh
ReplyDeleteFinally. Mission accomplished.
DeleteThe British look upon our Independence Day as the first BREXIT, and they realize that our argument was not with the monarch at the time, but with Parliament. Today, modern British citizens are struggling with that same issue: Parliament, and this explains the large number of British citizens who migrate to the United States. As for the royals, I've not met the Queen, but I have met one of her children and one of her grandchildren and none of them behave toward the Americans as depicted in the photo. To most British, we are cousins who took the family in a different direction.
ReplyDeleteMore than two hundred years ago, it was not a happy Independence Day. One third of us clamored for independence (I'm sure never imagining that one day Congress (like Parliament) would become the enemy of the people); one third of us wanted to stay within the British empire. The final third couldn't have cared one way or another. Our politics today is very close to these sentiments. Today, it is difficult to sense a "happy" Independence Day) when one third of our people want to take us down the Marxist road of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.
Just a thought ...
A very sobering thought.
DeleteI watched "The Crown" and come away with the same feeling.
Not that we are wayward children, but allies and friends.
But as their friend, friends don't let friends go Islam. :)
As for our own people, if we don't see something to snap us back to reality, and by "us" I mean the body politic, we are going down. You and I won't be here, but I hate to see an intricate marvel, a thing of beauty, destroyed.
