I'm afraid the "song of the day" is not… approving of the day's scheduled events. I've been in military parades before; you, sirrah, are not fit to shine the shoes of a real generalissimo, like Pinochet, Videla, Franco, or even Ioannidis. Even all of those jerks actually served, for some value of that, instead of misappropriating a military in which they had evaded service for their own highly theatrical gratification (not to mention damage to the capital's roads and other infrastructure).
I would go farther than merely "No Kings" (or "No Generalissimos"): Hereditary rule — whether by formally holding office like a Bush, or a Daley, or a Kennedy, or a Saltonstall, or a Roosevelt (a relative of whom laid essential groundwork that made Thursday's nightmare almost inevitable in kind, if not in detail) — is fundamentally inconsistent with, and usually directly opposed to, supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. But this is not your father's totalitarianism… is it?
We're a nation of immigrants. That the influx of immigrants of today doesn't look or speak like the immigrants of your parents' time, or their parents' time, or some grandcestor's time, only means that the world has evolved in its predilictions to seek opportunities Over Here. Curiously, nobody seems to be asking Dr Nygren about the flood — the invasion — of immigrants on these shores. Oh, wait, we're not supposed to acknowledge the hypocrisy of largely white, largely Northwest European, almost entirely christian "forefathers" in public; if we did, we'd end up with a soul of/on ICE. The only US Army unit that really, truly belongs in this military parade is the 442d Regimental Combat Team, perhaps with a flyover by the 332d Fighter Group. Oh, wait, that's probably far too old school…
So tell me, Comrade: Who do you suspect will be missing from the reviewing stand next year?
