re: Princess Harry "1st ammendment in America is bonkers"

It was right after the Revolution, right after peace had been concluded. And Ethan Allen went to London to help our new country conduct its business with the king. The English sneered at how rough we are and rude and simple-minded and on like that, everywhere he went. Til one day he was invited to the townhouse of a great English lord. Dinner was served, beverages imbibed, time passed as happens and Mr. Allen found he needed the privy. He was grateful to be directed thence. Relieved, you might say. Mr. Allen discovered on entering the water closet that the only decoration therein was a portrait of George Washington. Ethan Allen done what he came to do and returned to the drawing room. His host and the others were disappointed when he didn't mention Washington's portrait. And finally his lordship couldn't resist and asked Mr. Allen had he noticed it - the picture of Washington - he had. Well what did he think of its placement? Did it seem appropriately located to Mr. Allen? And Mr. Allen said it did. The host was astounded. (mocking British accent) "Appropriate? George Washington's likeness in a water closet?" "Yes," said Mr. Allen, "where it will do good service. The whole world knows nothing will make an Englishman shite quicker than the sight of George Washington." I love that story.

And yet it protects his right to say stupid things like that.

If Harry doesn’t like the 1st Amendment, he can go to Canada or back to England with all that shite. That little ginger can go freak himself coming over here to America and whine how we do things here.

Princess Harry "1st ammendment in America is bonkers"
Harry needs to read the speech his grandmother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, gave on America's bicentennial in 1976 when she brought a new bell of liberty to Philadelphia as a gift to America and visited President Ford at the White House.

"I speak to you as the direct descendant of King George III. He was the last Crowned Sovereign to rule in this country, and it is therefore with a particular personal interest that I view those events which took place 200 years ago.
It seems to me that Independence Day, the Fourth of July, should be celebrated as much in Britain as in America. Not in rejoicing at the separation of the American Colonies from the British Crown but in sincere gratitude to the Founding Fathers of this great Republic for having taught Britain a very valuable lesson.
We lost the American Colonies because we lacked that statesmanship 'to know the right time, and the manner of yielding, what is impossible to keep.'
But the lesson was learnt. In the next Century and a half we kept more closely to the principles of Magna Carta which have been the common heritage of both our countries.
We learnt to respect the right of others to govern themselves in their own ways. This was the outcome of experience learned the hard way in 1776. Without that great act in the cause of liberty performed in Independence Hall two hundred years ago, we could never have transformed an Empire into a Commonwealth!
Ultimately peace brought a renewal of friendship which has continued and grown over the years and has played a vital part in world affairs. Together we have fought in two world wars in the defense of our common heritage of freedom. Together we have striven to keep the peace so dearly won. Together, as friends and allies, we can face the uncertainties of the future, and this is something for which we in Britain can also celebrate the Fourth of July.
This morning I saw the famous Liberty Bell. It came here over 200 years ago when Philadelphia, after London, was the largest English speaking City in the world. It was cast to commemorate the Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges, but is better known for its association with The Declaration of Independence.
Today, to mark the 200th anniversary of that declaration, it gives me the greatest pleasure, on behalf of the British people, to present a new bell to the people of the United States of America. It comes from the same foundry as the Liberty Bell, but written on the side of this Bicentennial Bell are the words "Let Freedom Ring".
It is a message in which both our people can join and which I hope will be heard around the world for centuries to come." (emphasis added)

Every European or similar (like Aussies) comes here and tells us hey we moved here bc it’s amazing and better than where we came but can we change everything to what we have back home.

The founders came up with a damn near perfect system with the constitution and sovereign states. The US constitution is one of the crown jewels of western civilization. It's the oldest active codified constitution in the world right now and has preserved America wonderfully.
But in modern day America where every Presidential election where is such a high stakes game and half of the country is absolutely psychotic in their love or hate for the current occupant of the Oval Office, I can't help but wonder if the Brits do indeed have the right idea about separating the head of state role away from the head of government and here in America, it's the complete opposite where POTUS serves both roles.

His family lost that war already. We can laugh directly at his face for this.

Actually the British parliament started the war when they wanted to tax the colonies without representation and King George III honored their wishes and acted on them.
He may have had a bit more political power in his heyday compared to his 4X great granddaughter Queen Elizabeth in 2021 but he was still a constitutional monarch and acted like one when it came to the bottom line.
He was merely the convenient symbol of opposition for the American colonies and it was wildly effective.

So Harry, are us Americans, who can for now exercise our right to speak our minds, responsible for your shitty relations with the folks?
Posted on 5/17/21 at 9:33 pm to Sentrius
Harry is a royal flush. Can't wait to see when he is dumped for a stud pimp or a muffin cruncher.

I didn't think it was possible to be more unlikable than Meghan Markle, but her husband might be a more unlikable bitch than her.

Precisely the kind of thing that made the founding fathers tell George to get fricked.
