Nobody’s Perfect: Queen Elizabeth II

Nobody’s Perfect

It’s quite amazing how they do it: Rulers that stay in power for literally decades—and Queen Elizabeth has held her ground. Coming from a country that rejected  the idea of a family line of rulers as being the quintessence of the most abhorrent political system ever invented, I’m trying to catch a hold of getting myself to “like” the Queen. Now that she is in her winter years, it’s not all that hard. After all, it’s not her fault that she happened to be born with the luck of one in a billion…to inherit all that wealth, all those castles. That doesn’t make her any less a person, because it’s the system itself that is to be criticized, not the people who happen to be born into it, unless of course, they start acting like the old King Henry the Eighth.

But now, in 2012, the Americans, who at their start rejected the power of one man on the throne, seems to have come back rull circle. England through the years, took away the power of the idea of ‘King” or one man on the throne (or woman) leaving them more as figureheads, while America has given their Presidents the powers of a King.

Exactly what our founders fought against…and we are paying dearly for it.  

Why is it hard for me to like the Queen? I’ll tell you why. I was like the rest of the world, heartbroken, when Princess Diana was killed.  I thought the Queen’s behavior at that time in history was short of a real snob. She had no class, and showed no grace at the time all the world was looking for her…and that’s probably because she really didn’t like the girl, and was glad to be rid of her. When you live under years of being the number one chip on the block, you are bound to be selfish in your concerns. She just did it when she wanted to. It was finally sweet, but it was a huge political mistake.  No doubt, Diana’s Star outshone the Queen and that must have been annoying.

Still…hire the best PR consultants in the business, put your propaganda out…and all will be forgotten.  And it has been.

The British people love her….so we must take it from them, that she has more than made up for whatever mistakes she made before. They credit her with the good England’s fortune for the last sixty years, but just how lucky are those people are over? It doesn’t sound so dreamy. They have more camera’s on their streets, more Muslims flooding their welfare rolls, more thugs and drunks on the streets…at least that’s what we see over here in America.  Still, what did the Queen have to do with all that?

Nothing. The Queen is the brand. She stands for the British people..a symbol. That’s her job. As you read about Elizabeth, on the whole, she has done whatever was asked of her in the role she was given, and with grace and honor.  She seems to have had a wonderful father, (at least he is presented as such in the movie, The King’s Speech) and even if her son is a bulb short of a socket, you can’t always blame the mother on such things….or can you? The rulers of the world are so busy going around the world, the kids do suffer from their absent. And Elizabeth was away from her children many times in her life, the kids left at home.

No kid ends up without some serious mental problems when they grow  up missing their parents, and that happens whether your parents are rich or poor…or divorced.

In defense of this horrible habit of England’s Kings and Queens leaving thier kids somewhere while they went traveling around the world, John Adams and his wife Abigail left their sons at home and didn’t see them for five years while John was away as ambassador in Paris and England.

 I don’t care if you have butlers picking your nose and bringing you hot totties at bedtime, kids need the parents around. Both his sons suffered severely for it.

But, in John’s case…they didn’t have much money. The Queen could have had private tutors wherever she went….so I tend to bring that against her.   I suppose she could blame it on her historical duties. There is a whole culture of historical “do’s” and “don’t” in the British upper society that has years of cultural precedence, so the rich kids go off to the private schools and we have the Harry Potter Series to prove it…the unfairness of life if you happen to be born a Mudblood…instead of having the royal Trueblood line.

The trouble with rich elites running the world is that they are so far removed from their people. George HW Bush had never seen a grocery store, something he had in common with Elizabeth. When she was here in America, she saw one for the first time too.

These people never had to buy food for themselves…amazing isn’t it?

Tell me, how can you rule people you can’t possibly relate to?

I watched the Queen floating down the river on her barge on that rainy day…celebrating her sixty- year Jubilee.  What was even more endearing were the singers who were singing “God Save the Queen” in the rain, their faces and voices busting with pride…giving the performance of their lives. So proud to be there. So proud to be singing to her.

The Queen is very lucky to have such wonderful subjects….has she ever mention that fact I wonder?

I haven’t heard her say it, but Nobody’s Perfect, and that includes Queen Elizabeth…but there is one thing that we should give it up for her for: She plans to stay  in power until she goes to explain herself to the Big Ben in the sky. (applause!)

The longer she rules, the less time Charles has to mess all her hard work up, and the world is a better place for that.

So, Long live the British Queen! Nobody can wear a hat quite like her.

(Thanks to amfortas for the picture of Elizabeth: gunner! And for his endearing heart and soul for his beloved Queen..she is lucky to have it.)

Nobody Flashes Politically Correct MS America Questions

Nobody Flashes

Miss America hasn’t changed much since the beginning, except now, it’s being used as a platform to promote all the worries of our “government.” Listen to the questions these girls are asked by the judges…each judge carrying their question with the emotion of a Gestapo policeman: the bickering between the two parties, our obesity problem, should you stand up for your “religion”, Occupy Wall Street, and teen moms.

Nobody was as surprised as me as to how well most of them did fending off the liberal tone to the questions…and bascially saying, “Hey, it’s up to the individual.” Although…Miss Ohio (not seen talking in this video), did make the politically correct statement to the liberals when she said that the movie “Pretty Woman” was a fine example of what women should be.

A Prostitute! (see here)

Bill Clinton was having thrills…. somewhere.

All the June Moon Loonies

Nobody’s Opinion

It’s a full June moon, so I think it’s safe to say that right now, all over Britain, millions of happy campers are trying to remember where they were last night, after celebrating that wonderful day: The Queen’s 60 years on the British throne. A nation was joyfully all over itself with pomp and glory and flags and fun times, and everyone painting themselves up in the Union Jack.

It does a heart good to see a nation celebrating itself. As least that’s how this Nobody is looking at it. Over here in America, our last few July 4th’s, which is when we celebrate our country, has left me more than once, a bit teary-eyed with apprehension. The words come into my mind around the third piccolo solo — “Are we going to make it another decade?” When you have a President who brought us the biggest “change” the country has ever known..for the worst, you do wonder: a man who has divided us all: a man who has knocked America down at every chance he could find–it makes me envy the British people tonight. We could use some of that nationalistic spirit over here.

But…Obama’s administration has made it clear…We as a nation are not suppose to celebrate ourselves…Oh no. We are the horrid America.

Obama is on a downward spiral…but keeping a his stiff upper chin, with daily lies that keep popping out of his lips like an open popcorn popper with it’s lid off. The lies only get more unbelievable.

Peter Ferrara over at Townhouse reminds us:

Yes, we heard all week how Obama has “grown” the economy. Moreover, before Obama there had never been a deficit anywhere near $1 trillion. The highest previously was $458 billion, or less than half a trillion, in 2008. The federal deficit for the last budget adopted by a Republican-controlled Congress was $161 billion. But the budget deficits for Obama’s four years were reported in Obama’s own 2013 budget as $1.413 trillion for 2009, $1.293 trillion for 2010, $1.3 trillion for 2011, and $1.327 trillion for 2012, four years in a row of deficits of $1.3 trillion or more. This is why Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) told Obama to his face that the annual deficits under the Republicans have become the monthly deficits under the Democrats.

President Obama’s own budget released in February shows that as a result federal debt held by the public will double during Obama’s four years as President. That means in just one term President Obama has increased the national debt as much as all prior Presidents, from George Washington to George Bush, combined.

Not that anyone is talking about it. Obama, when the time comes, will blame the bad economy on–the fall of Europe, the price of oil, Bain Capital, the Birthers, the Tea Party, wild fires in New Mexico, George W. Bush, dead moon bats in Mississippi, Cheney, George Washington, the ebola virus, Karl Rove, shifting ice poles, the fact that he is “black” and there are too many racists, too many babies being born in Alabama in April, and earthquakes that haven’t even happen yet. In fact, add the whole world and everything that happens in it to that list…he won’t mind.

He is NEVER to blame.  

Obama will blame the “rich” for the collapse of everything, and we expect that from a Marxist, but do we expect that from the Pope? Someone should check that incense in the Vatican, because he said this:

Families from rich countries could sponsor families from poor ones, Pope Benedict XVI suggested Saturday at a gathering of around 350,000 people at a park just north of Milan.

What? That “could” is a bit nebulous.  I’ll be %&$*# if I’m going to be forced to “sponsor” some family in some other country…and I won’t be the only American refusing that “role.” Our own government gives billions and billions, and if you add it all up, trillions and gazillions…to “poor” nations.

A lot of good it did them.

You know, we don’t need the biggest Christian church on the planet acting like Jesus’ real name is Karl Marx . We get enough of that nonsense from Obama.  I’ve made fun of the Pope before, right now…I’d better keep my mouth shut.

But he is not the only one that is going moony loony…

Science fiction author  Elizabeth Moon last week rekindled the debate on whether it’s a good idea to “barcode” infants at birth in an interview on a BBC radio program.

“I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached — a barcode if you will — an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals,” she said on The Forum, a weekly show that features “a global thinking” discussing a “radical, inspiring or controversial idea” for 60 seconds .

Great. Barcode us. Tell me, are they going to let people who DON’T have a barcode vote? What are we? Sunday Chicken? Baked potatoes? Dollar store tennis shoes?

Are they going to put a price on us too?

Maybe that’s what Eric Holder would prefer..because he is trying to shut down any attempt in Florida to make people show an identification at the voting booths.

Since millions of black Americans — like millions of white Americans — are confronted with demands for photo identification at airports, banks, and innumerable other institutions, it is a little much to claim that requiring the same thing to vote is denying the right to vote. But Holder’s chutzpah is up to the task— says Thomas Sowell

Good points from Sowell, but “chutzpah” is rather a nice way to put it.

And here’s another full moon comment from a half-wit moon:  Nancy Pelosi says she wants Hillary to be President in 2016.

“Why wouldn’t she run? She’s a magnificent secretary of state,” Pelosi said when asked about Clinton’s prospects in 2016. “She’s our shot” that year, Pelosi said.

Nobody Thinks that’s like admitting that she and Hillary expect Obama to lose. Either that, or Nancy was having dinner last week at the Bilderberg meeting, and was told to “put out the word now.”  

The Queen, I can handle. But the thought of Hillary as President, and Julia still in Australia, is really too much. It would be torture. It would be like the world was in full moon barcode. Wait, I’m being tortured by Obama right this minute.
Okay, I’ve talked myself into another nightmare…I need to go outside and take another look at that moon, and remind myself that..it’s a good thing. Nobody meant to go abashing the moon loonies. (And if you believe that, it must be raining where you are.)
Next blog..I’ll lighten up.  I promise.

Blame it on the moon.
