Look at it this fashion.
Had we misplaced the War of Independence we’d all be talking English, at the least these of us who don’t converse Woke.
Not solely that, had the Brits gained the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) over the rebellious Thirteen Colonies, we’d even be getting ready to crown Prince Charles, 73, the Prince of Wales, as our king.
While Her Imperial Majesty Queen Elizabeth II nonetheless reigns over the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Her different British Provinces — of which we’d have been one — she is 96 years outdated. So, Prince Charlie could be warming up within the bullpen, because it have been.
And a Queen Elizabeth would have given the mislead those that, like Nancy Pelosi, consider that the California progressive is the nation’s first queen. She shouldn’t be, though she acts and lives like one.
This is all tutorial, in fact, since we gained the struggle and are celebrating that victory at this time.
But issues might have turned out otherwise.
For occasion, after General George Washington and his military gained the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 — and the Revolutionary War — there was discuss making him king of the brand new United States.
Col. Lewis Nicola, an Irish-born veteran of the struggle and an American patriot, purportedly wrote a letter to Washington suggesting it. After defeating English King George III, Washington might change into America’s King George the First.
Nicola, having lived below a monarchy in Ireland, in all probability would have been a member of the Proud Boys have been he round at this time.
And if it occurred at this time, Nicola’s letter to Washington could be leaked to CNN and the cable information community would go ballistic. Wolf Blitzer would blast out a narrative attacking Washington for making an attempt to make himself King of America. “It will be the death of democracy,” the community would proclaim.
Washington, so fired up over the accusation, would go on Fox News to disclaim it. “It’s fake news,” he’d inform Hannity.
“I didn’t fight all these battles and defeat King George and the British army only to become another King George,” he’d say.
“If we had enforceable immigration laws, I’d have Nicola the leaker deported back to Ireland, but our borders are wide open. I am willing to be a president but not a king. In fact, my campaign slogan is ‘President, yes, King, no.’”
Still, if the British gained the struggle and Charles ultimately was sworn in as King of America, we’d not have Joe Biden going to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil.
Prince Charlies has gouged additional cash for entry cash out of the Arabs than Hunter Biden and the Big Guy have squeezed out of the Russians, Ukrainians and Chinese mixed.
Only final week it was reported that Prince Charles acquired tens of millions of {dollars} stashed in suitcases and purchasing luggage as a present from the previous prime minister of Qatar.
And if that doesn’t qualify Prince Charles to be a frontrunner in Washington, then nothing does.
Around right here we’re virtually British anyway with counties named Suffolk, Essex and Middlesex, and cities known as Leicester, Gloucester and Dover.
It’s no joke, as Joe Biden would say.
The Brits owned this place at one time and went round bossing folks and naming issues that didn’t actually belong to them.
Take the Charles River. While some might imagine that the Charles River was named after Gov. Charlie Baker, the reality is that it was named after King Charles I upon its “discovery” in 1614 by English explorer Captain John Smith. The Indian title for it was Quinobequin, which means meandering.
Charles I, who believed in his divine proper to rule, just like the progressives do, dominated with a heavy hand and was beheaded in 1649 following a civil struggle. He was ultimately succeeded by his son Charles II.
While he by no means acquired to see his river, Charles I is remembered for Boston’s Charles Street and the Charles Street MBTA Station on the Charles River Circle. How many kings are you aware who’ve subway station named after them?
Since we gained the Revolutionary War, we by no means acquired to be dominated by King Charles III. We needed to accept Charlie Baker I.
