We Need To Learn A King Or Two

The More Things Strange, The More They StayThe Same

According to historian Alan Taylor, the Declaration of Independence, though we tend to think about it as a document espousing freedom for “oppressed” people, subjects living under authoritarian rule, which of course it is, is more than anything a “list of crimes allegedly committed by the king”.

Taylor states, “That means that when the patriot leaders decide that they want independence, then they must persuade their people in the colonies – now states – that the king has forfeited his just authority. The purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to declare that the king is no longer sovereign.”

Prior to the emergence of the Declaration, the patriots tended to blame the Parliament and not King George for their plight. The Declaration instead placed the blame squarely on the king. It denounced him as being unfit to rule over a free people.

King George III

A non-exhaustive list from the original text:

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices…

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

For imposing Taxes [stupid fucking tarrifs] on us without our Consent

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us…

Can you say holy fucking shit?

Wannabe King Don I

The above list of grievances could not be more familiar. They say history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. This list from yesteryear, 250 years yester, compared to the list we could make today, is like rhyming shit with shit. Not great as regards poetic creativity, but pretty fucking on the nose when it comes to what history is doing right now compared to 1775.

The Fuh King: Empty is the head that wants to wear the crown

No time for rhyme.

    Just complete repeat.

King George III did not replace every single official in the American colonies with demented, dimwitted dipshits who destroyed all functioning of the colonies, used public funds for their own asinine amusements and kissed the king's ass every fucking day. Wannabe King Don I – who plans on serving an unconstitutional third term – makes George III look like fucking George Washington – who refused to serve a third term as president because he was not king, a tyrant or an out-of-control dementia patient with delusions of grandeur and an IQ equal to the number of natural teeth remaining in his mouth.

And King George III didn’t slap his stupid fucking name on anything that stayed still long enough.

I. Mangrey reporting. No way to delay that trouble coming every day.
