The average American doesn't give a rat's ass about them one way or the other.
Which is why they waste their time posting their seeming very strong opinions about them here on ATS and all over the internet?

Our Canadian news is not suggesting that at all . What is coming up in various online polls ect is if we want to pay for their security if they lived here. Answer:NO !
It is not that we care.
It is just, that we already defeated them in battle, Twice!
We basically occupied England twice, in two "World Wars", To "save them". And let them keep it. ..
I'm not being a dick.
I'm an Irish American,.....
I have every reason to see "them" fall.
But I have honor and respect, and I will not forget the Country that made me! Hell, most of our "common law" comes from "English Common Law"...
I made a promise to an English Lieutenant ounce.. The Union Jack and Stars and Stripes, will not fall, as long as I am alive. I meant it! He replied to me, Amen.
I'm not sure what he meant. But I knew what I meant.
I'm an American, I have no love for the "Crown". But I love my people, the people that "made me and country". I love, and would die, for my cousins to my North and that Island Nation, my cousins. .. I would die for their freedom, I'd volunteer to die for their "Crown", not because I love their "soveriegn". But because I love them!

I'll let you into a little secret JAG.....I don't really care.
For some reason apparently we need a Head Of State.
Constitutional Monarchy?
Elected President similar to France etc?
Not much difference really.
At least with a Royal Family we get extra holidays for weddings/deaths etc.....which are obviously spent in the pub enjoying ourselves and talking absolute nonsense whilst completely ignoring the reason we are having a holiday.

There's no fun in not posting and I like to dispel a few myths about us Brits caring.
Contradictory?
Of course it is.....I'm not perfect, far from it!
Ah, English pub culture, I miss you...
