For months I have been talking about our new royal family, with poppa being the king and the children being the royal offspring. As for Queen - she seems to have become a nonentity with the princess picking up all those duties and privileges. I have railed against this new version of American royalty and connected aristocracy, yet some have told me that I was off the rail here and yet, here we are - told ya so!!
Here is an excerpt from the RNC Christmas message to the world. "Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King,"
Uh, what was that? What new king one might ask. What good news in fact? Well, those who cannot figure this out had better open eyes and ears and minds and feel the truth.
Now while I am Jewish and consequently do not believe that there was any first king in the whole issue, and remember that Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew and spoke much of his preaching directly from the Torah and the codified laws of the Jewish people and religion. Would that people would remember that fact. But, a great big but, there are those who do believe that he was or is the king, and I respect their beliefs, but the second one would be..... well, certainly NOT Trump!! And yet here we are. We are being told that we should celebrate the good news - the second king is here and aren't we lucky!! Spare me! Thank you.
So while I did recognize that Trump seemed to be on the right side of the issue with Resolution 2334, it remains to be seen if the royal heir to the throne remains there after ascending the throne, if he does not turn on the royal dime as he is wont to do. Consistency here is not the hobgoblin of legend and yet, I guess royalty has the royal right to change one's mind. Just consider the fickleness of the mind of Henry VIII when it came to women and marriage and children and friends and policies. One cannot always trust royalty to remain steady, nor to keep a steady hand on the helm.
All tongue in cheek aside, really - new king? Are we not going a bit overboard or according to the newer statement - are we jumping the shark here? Is that how people who are on his team really feel about him, that he IS a king and thus we have the explanation as to why his troops keep running around like a chicken without a head as they try to explain away his ridiculous tweets that are not so ridiculous if one looks at them as the tweets of a would be king to his loyal? subjects!
And are we not to "enjoy" the accoutrements of royalty such as beheading the traitor or the more modern additions of reeducation? I mean where does this delusion end? Where do our rights begin and end? And in any case, what kind of king would this be?
The king and his followers boast of a good business head and yet, look around, dig around. How many bankruptcies need to take place before one is not such a "good" businessman? How many people have to be royally screwed on their pay, their wages, their rights before one realizes that the king is not such a nice guy, is he? How many last minute deals have to be settled or pulled out of as the king and company realize that "there lies danger". Well, the monsters at the end of the world are not there - but here - in our very midst, monsters and their scared loyalists who refuse to see the truth.
So almost immediately the apologists came out of the woodwork, or to keep in theme, swam up from the depths and began their explanations, their excuses, all the while trying to avoid the truth, but there it is and there it was and there it will remain. What is said is said and cannot be retracted so easily. And what is frightening is that the royal princes, or at least one of them, is following in the footsteps already having to be bailed out to the tune of $3 million dollars and a bit of a shady deal as well. I forget which prince at the moment but does it really matter?
Are we to fall for the latest rage of "false news" with the royal family calling all negative or hostile reports or even the truth - "fake news" so that we grow to accept only what they say as gospel truth? I think not, folks, I think not. Fox news not CNN are not presenting fair and balanced news no matter what they say!! And just as an aside, we do not have a king here either, here in CV nor does the UCO Reporter aka the Rag, present a fair and balanced news picture either! Just sayin"
Fellow Americans, to be a bit grandiose, but not really if one thinks about it - we must resist this royalification, to coin a word, of a future president - G-d help us - and his family and his courtiers. We must be ever vigilant, for the sake of all and not only our present but also our future and not only that of America but also that of the world.
Told ya so - but am very unhappy to be able to say that.
