Who is the King of the U.S.A.?

The "Big Cheese" himself, eh?

Richard the Lyin' Hearted!

And while everybody talks about how Joe Kennedy had called in favors from the Chicago mob in order to get his son elected, what's not as widely known is how Nixon had had strong ties to the New Orleans mob.

Only when profitable.

Then again, when one is as high as he was most of the time, who can say.

Both theology and philosophy are basically sets of rules to live life by.

A mind cannot leave half of itself outside the political arena. There cannot be a real separation of church and state when one holds to a religion. Especially when your own pledge of allegiance has God in it.

It, like all other countries, is an oligarchy.

Now I wonder if youtube has that one scene from the Dark Knights returns, but instead I shall refer to how the Templars fared when they controlled the money in France. The actual king of France got rid of them with the support of the monarch of the Catholic Church. Now in a democracy (of the size we have in most countries) money does indeed have a significant influence on the decision making process. If only because election campaigns are expensive and the need for post-politics positions.



Now this off course raise additional questions. First of course is the problem that the world people in the English language is an very unfortunate translation of the word demo(s), where the lesser used term folk might be better.

Also how much meaning would a single vote have if the group of voters goes beyond a certain size. Which of course means that going with your statement that democracy only works on a small scale. Since only then a single vote might have the meaning you want it to have.

As you see from my critisism of your definition of democracy there are some problems with it. The major problem of course is that most people use the term democracy with at best only a vague idea of its meaning.



What is stopping you?



That would be king George #, since that how it goes in most monarchies.



I presume you refer to the disdain of your founding fathers to towards the notions of democracy and how it could lead to mob rule?

Well, one wonders how it would be in the United States ....after all they had a president with the name Bush and his vice-president with the nickname Dick (!). Jeez, knowing the sexual meaning behind those words are just utter amazeballs

all the better for screwing americans over.

Good one!

Funny remark, but kind of irrelevant. Since what might be the habit in republic, would not be so in a monarchy where the head of state usually comes from the same house/family as the previous one. And monarchies with an elected head of state (see for example the Vatican) follow the same rule.

Also the obsession with the potential sexual meaning of such words in the American culture most likely comes from puritan influence.

America is still in its adolescence. a lot of growing up yet to do. god please let us have the chance to make it past this phase.

in a manner of speaking...

On my mom's side I'm descended from a line of kings in Ireland that had everything stolen from them in 1318AD, and I live in the USA (born in Texas, moved to Minnesota when my stepdad found work here), so could I be one?

Parakeet, where the hell have you been? And why have your number of posts been reduced to a mere 38?
