You guys vote in a guy like Bush (inbred rich royalty), who invades countries like Iraq, causing death and destruction leading to creating thousands of terrorists that the whole world has to worry about
So anyone that is the family of a former President is royalty? Wtf? Is Chelsea Clinton royalty? Jimmy Carter's children are royalty? What exactly is your definition of royalty? Bush is worth something like $20 million, in the grand scheme of things that's not that much, just enough to live very nicely and comfortably.
Kerry and Bush both have royalty in their history.

As for Bush's worth it's all in his name; his name gives him connections and resources. The presidential retirement plan is just insane i hear...

What are you talking about? There is no such thing as royalty in America. Do you think anyone in America had heard of the Bush family 60 years ago?

The Presidental retirement plan = writing a book and giving speeches for $1 million a pop...

Royalty are given rights to millions of dollars, palaces, art, etc. by the government solely based upon their blood line. Chelsea Clinton sure doesn't fit that mold. Your Queen is not only considered a God by her peasants, but has to be the head of a certain religion, showered with millions, has her picture everywhere as a constant reminder of her control in your lives, etc.

$400,000 a year plus expenses,White House, Saddams pistol
Blood lines-
If the Kennedys are indeed America's "royal family," as they have been described, then John F. Kennedy Jr. was the reluctant crown prince.

Has there ever been a President who wasn't a Christian?
Showered with millions and worshipped? check
Picture everywhere as constant reminder of his control ? check

Makes as much sense as your post does anyways 😉 😛

Are you claiming that the president's salary and living in the White House during the presidency is a sign of royalty? The God-Queen is given palaces, millions of dollars, servants, avoids taxes, etc. just because she is of royal blood. Her successors will be given similar treatment. Not because she was elected. You are not royalty if you have a salary. You are royalty based upon a barbaric idea of superior blood lines.

The progressive world sees nothing wrong with salaries. However, your support for the concept of superior bloodlines is barbaric and completely at odds with what your society supposedly believes in (or what your government's propaganda tells you to believe in).

I'm just replying to see what you will say next. This thing you have with the Queen is really interesting to me. I have never seen such interest in her before by an American before.The older native people here I think still respect the crown more then the gov. When a royal comes around there is the crowd of elderly people with some of their grandchildren. The same types I see in the pictures when they visit your country. And there's a few wacko's like my old lady who collect Princess Di crap 😉

Seriously, even to the British people the monarchy is more of a tourist attraction then anything else. Do you really believe people still think they are appointed by God?

The concept of superior bloodlines is a barbaric idea that should not be around in the 21st century. It's as simple as that. The head of state position of your country is delegated to persons within one family and must be of a particular religion. This is a backwards practice that needs to be addressed. I think it's very unfortunate that Canadians refuse to address this problem. I guess if the government propaganda doesn't tell you to think about it, the masses don't. I really wish Canadians were more independent and less hive-like.

Little girls are always going to pretend to be princesses, people will continue to make movies about Kings and Queens with happy endings, Disney will keep on making money by promoting fairy tales.
Let it go. There's just so much other and worse crap to worry about

Playing with your imagination is not the real world. There is worse things to worry about, but that doesn't mean you ignore this problem... a problem which could be easily fixed.
 
Morally self-made rich people tend to be good on fiscal policies.

People born into it tend to be the exact opposite.

The same type of effect is littered throughout History. The Roman Empire, for example. Augustus was self made. Many of the early emperors were adopted based on skills. Then when Commodus, and the inherited passing of power began, the Empire started to fall.
