Let's just admit that W is the King & there is no Democracy.

[Philosoraptor]

Instead of pretending that he is the president and not the king, and former prince. Let's face it and admit it, the bush family is our royal family, going back many generations.

They have been sucking the life out of us for many decades, and controlling every aspect of our lives, toppling regimes, assassinating leaders, setting up shadow governments, setting up failing businesses and reaping the profits, destroying things and rebuilding them for more profits.

Let's just make a crown for w and cancel the next scheduled elections, they are no longer valid anyway, but controlled by the royal family. I suggest a crown of gold and platinum and diamonds, weighing about 16 pounds total, based on the queen of England's tiara.

Then Jenna and Barbara could be our next princesses and overlords, they seem real nice.

Let's finally admit it, we are no longer a democracy, the American revolution has been completely reversed now, we are in the new royal era, the bush family era, like the Romanov's and the Windsor's before them. bush is the king, not the president, it couldn't be more obvious, yet we continue to use the words democracy and republic long after those words have lost their meanings.

1. He will never be anything other than

a liar, leaker and thief to me... No president, No King for sure....

My son has been in Iraq since November 2005 and I have plenty of reasons to dislike this man.....

2. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses

not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

4. LOL!

"Oh but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

3. He's a Pirate King's Dummy

but no ruling monarch by any stretch of the imagination.

PIRATE KING.

KING. Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I'll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
ALL. You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
KING. And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
ALL. It is!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!

KING. When I sally forth to seek my prey
I help myself in a royal way.
I sink a few more ships, it's true,
Than a well-bred monarch ought to do;
But many a king on a first-class throne,
If he wants to call his crown his own,
Must manage somehow to get through
More dirty work than ever I do,
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
ALL. You are!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!
KING. And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King.
ALL. It is!
Hurrah for the Pirate King!

5. Like ALL fascist kings, emperors and dictators before HIM.......

HE will fall from power, living the rest of his life in disgrace. Hopefully, Democracy can be restored......

6. Hmmmm, this might be a good idea

If we just go ahead and crown them, thereby giving them what they want, then maybe they'll get the hell out of the way and let other people govern. It could be like the royals in England. They could go around cutting ribbons, playing polo, having photo ops, etc. Meanwhile, they're not really involved in government.

They get the titles, country estates, etc. while we get them out of our hair. This could be a win-win!

7. Despair is not very motivating - quite the oposite really

But that's just my opinion.

8. I bow to no king!

This man is an ass, not a leader.

[CJCRANE]

9. True.

At least in a monarchy or third world dictatorship they are upfront about where the power resides.

There's no pretence that freedom of speech or voting will make any difference.

10. He's the Queen; while he performs ceremonial duties, Prime Minister Cheney

11. Only if that means the revolution may begin.

Death to Tyranny!
