Beck: Obama might create a ‘monarchy’ and start decapitating Americans

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/11/beck-obama-might-create-a-monarchy-and-start-decapitating-americans/




“I have a feeling we’re headed for a monarchy,” he warned. “Because we have forgotten the principles of maximum liberty and maximum personal responsibility, which in time, always ends — if you are like Europe — it ends in a French Revolution.”

“But maybe it doesn’t end this way. Maybe this time, maybe Marie-Antoinette and King Louis keep their heads, while all of their subjects lose theirs. One way to make sure that doesn’t happen is to stand up for your Second Amendment rights.”

It's hard to imagine that some people actually DO believe him.

At least he gets paid the big bucks for preaching to the Stupid. What's their excuse for swallowing this BS whole?

Just ask the people of the U.K., Sweden, Denmark, Japan, Thailand, Spain (well, I'll give ya that one...)

While the French violently overthrew their King, they wound up with someone infinitely worse - Napoleon - then went back to a monarchy.

And this dude claims to be a HISTORIAN? Any asshole with access to Wikipedia could have found this out!

They have democratically elected representatives, in addition to their traditional royal families that they keep around for the sake of tradition. In most cases, the royal family members are like PR representatives, with very little decisive power.
