Didn't we already fight a war against King George?

Did you miss the coronation of the first American King? Evidently while we were sleeping George W Bush and his neo-con gang have decided that the presidency didn't offer enough power and have anointed George W. as King. What? You didn't know that the United States was a monarchy...neither did I. However all the signs are in place--disregard for the other legislative bodies, disregard for the will of the people and disregard for the law.
In the past few months, George W and his cronies have installed a monarchy in the place of our democracy and the people who were supposed to defend "our freedom", "we the people" have stood by in silence. Our legistlators have fallen into two camps: the loyal soldiers of Republicanism and the disconnected, distracted Democrats. As the people, we are concerned only with our individual slices of the pie, too distracted by dialogues on moral correctness to realize that the pie is gone and even the crumbs are being snatched away. And the "free press", is no longer free but bought and paid for by corporations and controlled by fear of losing a ratings point if they focus on something larger than the Runaway Bride.

I wonder what the founders of this country would say if they could see how easily we have relinquished the freedoms they fought for? What would they think of the new King George!
