No Curtsy or Bow?

Paul Jacob recently wrote a piece on monarchy, The Queen of England Makes Me Sick.

Paul Jacob claims Americans curtsy or bow to no one – or at least need to to no one. That was not my impression after having seen a couple of Broadway performances about two years ago. In fact, Broadway actresses seem to curtsy much more the Norwegian actresses.

Paul Jacob claims Americans need to curtsy or bow to no one. Yet Americans have the biggest government in the world, a tax level considerably higher than the level at the time of classical monarchs, which so many Americans so proudly talk of their having freed the world from, and books upon books of regulations every year.

Paul Jacob claims one does not have to curtsy or bow to anyone. As Goethe told us:

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

What an utterly disgusting article, by a thoroughly despicable man. If only the monarchy DID still have the power to execute people! Grr.....

I'm glad at least that the majority of the responses seem to be negative. I have no interest in registering at TownHall in order to leave one.

This Paul Jacob creature is a perfect example of why monarchists can have nothing to do with the modern "Right," especially the American "Right." Give me an otherwise leftist Scandinavian who is at least loyal to his constitutional King or Queen over this Jacobin filth any day!

(I hope I don't sound angry at YOU, Jørn...monarchist bloggers have to be aware of this sort of thing, I suppose...) :) Keep up the good fight!
