Alex Jones is controlled opposition. He will never say anything negative about Israel. Would he call Netenyahu a fat slag?
Insulting an 85 year old woman is unacceptable. Calling an 85 year old woman fat, what is the point in that?
Why do Americans care whether the British have a monarch or not? That is their choice.
In American we worship false idols labeled "Conservatives".

The point is, Monarch are NOT politicians - slimey scum out for al they can get. It's what raises them higher. They are much more 'one of us'.
They don't care about making lots and lots and lots of money. Unlike some I could mention.
btw has there ever been a poor Ex-POTUS?

What on earth are you on about?
I will concede that our Monarchy is perhaps one reason why Britain will never entirely be part of the European (failed) Experiment - had we had a Presidentia Dictator instead we'd be Greece .....

Er WTF? Look you can say what you like about alex jones I couldn't give a toss. But to compare him to the queen is RETARDED! People who give alex money do so by their own FREE WILL as apposed to the people the give the queen money! Infact they don't give her money at all! She believes she has some kind of divine RIGHT to TAKE it! There is a very distinct difference!
The whole idea of a royal family is sick and so far away from civilized it hurts my brain! How you can compare these sickos to alex jones is beyond me! I mean for 1 alex doesn't just sit there and give his opinion! Most of it comes from other sources! Some of them are lame stream sources! He has guests on some of which are really fascinating and most you just wouldn't see on the lame stream!
I really can't be bothered to argue over alex jones, I don't agree with everything he does or says but at least I can't CHOOSE whether he is any part of my life or not!
F*** the queen!

I have a problem with the very notion of bowing to anyone regardless of their claims to royalty or privilege. But that's just me. Not being British, thoughts of the Queen rarely cross my mind. But since I view all politicians, be they dictators, monarchs, or elected officials with the same measure of scorn and distrust, I find myself more closely aligned with Alex Jones on this issue.

Monarchs don't care about making lots and lots of money because they don't have to. They already have it.
But that doesn't make them any "Higher" as you claim. I am truly baffled by the very notion that some pampered elitist is somehow more like "one of us" than a politician that may have come from a humble background and actually earned his wealth.
I guarantee that if a famine hit the land, these so called, "public servants" would still be eating caviar while the people starved. These are the kind of "public servants" I can do without.

Basically all these bills limit the monarchy's power and gives right to the people.
It was the foundation of the USA Constitution.
If people in the world actually believe that the monarch has power or that the people really believe there anything more then a tourist attraction should read up on the English civil war which ended with king Charles being beheaded for trying to use his 'divine power'
Im English and in my life experience i know most people have little patience for the royal family and do not believe they are blessed by god. But it is a love-hate relationship. It part of our history and they do bring out a great sense of patriotism.
Honestly they do alot of charity work and serve in the armed forces. During WW2 they didn't stay and hide in some bunker they toured the heavy hit areas of London and were a great source of morale.
Not only that they do 'budget' quite a bit in tight times.
As i said its a love-hate thing.
I do find it funny how AJ can spout such BS and people will blindly follow like little subjects.
Oh the irony!edit on 18-6-2012 by Bixxi3 because: (no reason given)

Interesting. I'm not aware or any Briton who feels subservient to them. And I believe the Monachy would be appalled if they thought anyone was.
But maybe you are (subconsciously) subservient to the NWO who continue their attack on the last bastion against their total rule?
To curtsey is not a sign of respect - curtseying is a form of subservience, which is why you never see the British curtsey to any royalty other than their own. And, even though I find the entire issue entirely ridiculous, it plays a large role in protocol behind the palace walls.
British royal protocal has distinct rules governing the issue of the curtsey, drawn up in a document by the Queen in 2005, titled "Precedence Of The Royal Family To Be Observed At Court." This document outlines who takes precedence over who among the women of the royal family - the higher you are on the list, the fewer people you are required to curtsey to.

Well, well done for showing your mentality. You know what a bow means don't you? It's roughly the equivalent of shaking hands. A handshake was originally to show your sword hand holds no sword. A Bow was to show your respect that the person you do it to wasn't about to cut off your head. As you say, you prefer to listen to the views of Alex Jones because you are..... well, a bit of a conspiracy sheep by the sound of it.
