What About My Freedoms?
I Guess Times Have Changed
During the time of the American Revolution, our colonial "patriots rebelled against the tyranny of the English King and English Royalty. They believed that no man was above the law and fought for independence from the privileged ruling class. America won that fight and continued to hold that principle, of no man is above the law, in great reverence, until recently.
Today, Queen Elizabeth II, announced that she has stripped all military and royal titles from her second son, Andrew, who is embroiled in a sex scandal involving underage girls. He can no longer be referred to as Prince Andrew, as he is now a private citizen. Even royals must be held accountable for their actions.
Meanwhile, back in the colonies, members of the wealthy class and government officials accused of sexual misconduct are held in high esteem, by patriots of the day. Hell, one of them was elected President and some sit freely as Republican members of Congress. Being investigated or under indictment is no obstacle to serving in the government.
How things have changed!
