Vanishingly rare are the occasions when I take Queen Elizabeth’s side, but on the question of climate change she’s spot on. Climate change really is a big deal and somebody ought to do something about it.  Liz was also right to shun Meghan Markle, who is an interloper and a manipulative opportunist. Liz has been wrong…

She’s still a U.S. citizen

The only reason British Duchess Meghan Markle possesses a public platform from which to pressure the U.S. Congress is her title of foreign nobility.

His daughter betrayed the American Revolution and he begs her forgiveness. Pathetic.

Yes, the Founders did some bad stuff, but WE MUST view it in the context of the time. FACT IS, slavery was NORMAL in wealthy colonial society in the 1770s. That means it’s really the 1770s that were shitty, not the Founders. The Founders were merely the product of their times, which were shitty. That’s why declaring…

This country sucks lol

You are out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Downtown Abbey is as good an argument as any for ejecting the UK from NATO.

I’m a lifelong Democrat who still believes in America and George Washington and I’m sick of hearing all this badmouthing of America from my fellow Democrats.

Folks like to complain about voting being difficult but voting has gotten a hell of a lot easier since George Washington’s day. America did just fine in those days and nobody complained so I’m not going to complain too much either.

Please tell me my fellow Democrats are not making the Loyalist Colonel Tye into a hero.

Dark-skinned Barbary pirates spent 300 years raiding the British isles for slaves to be sold in markets in North Africa and the Ottoman empire. That shit continued until the Barbary states were crushed by the United States Marine Corps in the Barbary Wars. That’s why “to the shores of Tripoli” is in the Marine…

Slavery was a great evil but it’s important to remember that George Washington owned slaves. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to put that into proper historical context. Lots of great Americans who did great things owned slaves. Hindsight being 20/20, we know that was a mistake on their part. We shouldn’t let them off…

I’d sell commemorative plates and other British royal memorabilia at my mall store. There seems to be a high demand for this crap at the moment, and who is more entitled to turn a profit off these royal scumbags than patriotic Americans? We paid for it in blood. They owe us.

Get outta here with this Queen Kate nonsense. Lizzie is the last Queen of England. When she dies the whole rotten institution of English monarchy dies with her. Whoever succeeds Liz will merely supervise the orderly dissolution of the monarchy. It’s long overdue.

Carville is right.

I don’t want to hear any crap about Black Americans not being patriotic. Here is a quote from a patriotic Black American Woman you may remember:

George Washington would be proud of America today. We did the right thing.

Okay I’ll agree to respect your country’s choices even though they look a little odd to my American eyes. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I hope the Jezebel moderators don’t delete this thread. That would be sad because this has been an eye-opening discussion of international fashion sensibilities and martial…

Then they shouldn’t have worn their medals. Did Dwight Eisenhower wear his medals on his civilian suits? He had a lot of medals. They would’ve looked pretty dumb on a suit.
