Do Americans Want a King?


My wife and I were discussing last night’s NH primary results and she stated the opinion that she thought that most Americans really desire a King (a la the Israelites). But, of course, as soon as we would get one, we’d also start loathing them. Seems that is what happens in the polls. We want a kingly or queenly leader but we also enjoy seeing them embarrass themselves (a la Howard Dean’s scream).

What do you think? Are we looking for royalty?

  1. heck ya, look at our obsession with hollywood stars, we are looking for someone to follow, we hold out these certain people as being beautiful and having it all together and we try to conform ourselves to whom they are, hey, gotta go Brad Pitt is on TV.
