Democracy Matters!

Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

The British monarchy has closed ranks and buried scandals to protect their royalty for more than a millennia, so the idea that this is some sort of unfounded witch hunt is ridiculous. Whatever Andrew did, its safe to say the evidence that's against him is incontrovertible and unhideable.
