I was thinking he would make a good monarch as far as Monarchs go… he’d end the wars at least. It would be unfortunate that the States’ would lose any sovereignty they had, but Rand wouldn’t be a monarch forever.
I’m thinking we should be prepared in case we get a monarchy.
Obama has nationalized all the land, and that sets the stage for a monarch doesn’t it?
People are also sick of change and a monarchy would keep the majority pacified in the short term especially if all the resources were nationalized.
What do you think about Rand Paul becoming a monarch? Do you prefer a royal Paul to a President Gary Johnson? I do.
He would make a cute and comical monarch though, because his father took a french fry from him (he’s fat and short), and he says things like education is a luxury not a right and “the Koch brothers should be arrested” he’s an aristocrat unlike his father.
He’s never give up power either because he doesn’t have as long of a face as his father does and he doesn’t have high right hand 2d:4d like his father does.
There is no possibility of monarchy in our lifetimes if the United States avoids total collapse. Democracy to highly prized and explicit power too highly despised.
This thread looked a lot more entertaining when I thought it said “what would Ayn Rand do if she were a monarch”
“Jokes aside - would a monarch of the United States be technically an emperor?”
Absolutely, with all of those official territories in there like Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, and then that’s not even to mention all of the countries that are…“influenced”…by the States.
I’m skeptical about us having an Emperor. It would imply the states were all Kingdoms, but I can’t seriously consider something as small as Maryland or Delaware Kingdoms. Principalities or Duchies at best.
If we were to have an Emperor we would to reorganize the territories. Texas, New York, California, Florida, and a few others would be Kingdoms. Minnetsota, Georgia and other mid-sized regions would be duchies. The smaller and less populated territories would be principalities.
What would Alaska be? It’s not heavily populated so its certainly not a Kingdom. A Grand Duchy? Hawaii likewise isn’t too terribly large, but I suppose it would be a Kingdom for the sake of recognizing the former Hawaiin Kingdom.
Well, what if a constitutional monarchy is pragmatic and is the only way towards reducing the State?
I have a few reasons why I think Rand will be a monarch:
a friend on Facebook said she feared a Paul dynasty;
Rand quotes Lincoln and Madison;
he’s a Constitutional Converative (rather than a Constitutional Jeffersonian small ‘r’ republican) so he must be more of a nationalist than the one who quotes Jefferson, Thomas Woods, and Rothbard.
Rand is a Conservative, he loves trying to mix liberty with order, he hates equality for the reasons I said.
He’s going to want too much pot… who can’t imagine Rand Paul toking a bong? His eyes are always red, he’s short (weed stunts growth), he’s fat (weed causes people to crave sweets) plus he got someone to smoke pot and worship the aqua buddha statue in his private college days. If he becomes monarch, then he could smoke weed without worrying about breaking the law.
On a sidenote, which royal families have at one time controlled the present day USA?
Off the top of my head I can think of the southwest has been controlled by the Bourbons and Hapsburg respectively via New Spain/Mexico, Florida, and Puerto Rico. The Romanov in Alaska and other portions of the northwest. The House of Hanover that owned the original colonies. And the Hawaiin royal house in Hawaii.
We should invite one of the Romanovs to be our Emperor!
