The Once and Future King: The Rise of Crown Government in America by F. H. Buckley [PDF]

This remarkable new book shatters just about every myth surrounding American government, the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers, and offers the clearest warning about the alarming rise of one-man rule in the age of Obama.

Most Americans believe that this country uniquely protects liberty, that it does so because of its Constitution, and that for this our thanks must go to the Founders, at their Convention in Philadelphia in 1787.

F. H. Buckley’s book debunks all these myths. America isn’t the freest country around, according to the think tanks that study these things. And it’s not the Constitution that made it free, since parliamentary regimes are generally freer than presidential ones. Finally, what we think of as the Constitution, with its separation of powers, was not what the Founders had in mind. What they expected was a country in which Congress would dominate the government, and in which the president would play a much smaller role.

Sadly, that’s not the government we have today. What we have instead is what Buckley calls Crown government: the rule of an all-powerful president. The country began in a revolt against one king, and today we see the dawn of a new kind of monarchy. What we have is what Founder George Mason called an “elective monarchy,” which he thought would be worse than the real thing.

Much of this is irreversible. Constitutional amendments to redress the balance of power are extremely unlikely, and most Americans seem to have accepted, and even welcomed, Crown government. The way back lies through Congress, and Buckley suggests feasible reforms that it might adopt, to regain the authority and respect it has squandered.

Recap

HOUSTON — One week ago, the short-handed Grizzlies rolled into Cleveland and shocked the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers, providing a recent example of feistiness for the Houston Rockets to take heed.

Trevor Ariza and Patrick Beverley sparked a 3-point barrage Monday, and the Rockets rolled to the third-largest victory in franchise history, a 130-81 win over Grizzlies at Toyota Center.

With Ariza and Beverley setting the pace by hitting their first six combined 3-point attempts in the opening quarter, the Rockets shot 16-for-33 from behind the arc. Ariza finished with 16 points, one of nine players to score in double figures for the Rockets, who led wire to wire.

The last time the Rockets had nine double-figure scorers was Feb. 16, 1993, against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Rockets center Dwight Howard said of the Grizzlies, “With a team like that, you want to put them away. Cleveland played them the other day (March 7) and started the game kind of slow and they took an L. We didn’t want that to happen to us tonight, especially being on the road as long as we have been (five games) and coming back home and playing.”

Beverley had 10 points, five rebounds, six assists and three steals, while Houston forward Donatas Motiejunas added 18 points and six rebounds in his strongest showing since his deadline trade to the Pistons was revoked.

The Rockets (34-33) ran roughshod from the opening tip despite lukewarm starts from James Harden and Howard, who were held without a basket in the opening quarter and finished with 15 and seven points, respectively. Harden added seven rebounds, eight assists and three blocks; Howard supplied a team-high 13 rebounds plus five blocks.

“That’s what I was doing tonight,” Harden said of laboring to create open looks for his teammates. “I really wasn’t trying to score, I was just being a facilitator, trying to do all the intangible things to get the win.”

The Grizzlies trotted out a motley-crew roster and trailed 21-6 less than five minutes into the contest. Matt Barnes keyed a mini 8-0 run with back-to-back 3-pointers, but Houston followed by stretching its lead to 31-16 before building an insurmountable cushion with an 8-0 spurt in the second that included a Jason Terry 3-pointer and Motiejunas’ three-point play.

The bloated margin kept swelling, growing from 18 points to 56-32 when Harden followed an Ariza transition dunk with a 3-pointer and a technical free throw. Memphis didn’t have the bodies or experience to muster a counterattack, surrendering a 15-3 run early in the third capped by a Motiejunas 3-pointer that stretched the Rockets’ advantage to 80-45.

“Half our team is D League,” Barnes said. “It’s just one of those situations where we’ve been bit by the injury bug and nobody is going to feel bad for us. Teams like Houston see that and they want to blow you out, so we have to come and be ready to play every night.”

Memphis, playing without regulars Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Zach Randolph, trailed by as many as 53 points. Barnes paced the starters with 14 points while adding seven rebounds. Jarell Martin and Alex Stepheson scored 17 and 12 points, respectively, in reserve, with Stepheson grabbing 15 boards. The Grizzlies committed 20 turnovers.

“I was really proud of our guys,” Grizzlies coach David Joerger said. “We got 100 shots up and 62 shots in the paint and did a tremendous job, but it was just one of those nights.”

Here are 10 facts about the Constitution of the United States.

We’re all experts on celebrating America’s independence from the British, but how good are you at knowing stuff about the government charter that came of it?

Here are 10 facts about the Constitution of the United States.

Number 10. Two of our founding fathers didn’t sign it. Thomas Jefferson was off representing the US in France and John Adams was pulling diplomat duty in Great Britain.

Number 9. It contains spelling errors. Among them is the misspelling of Pennsylvania. Also, many may be relieved to know that even the brainy guys behind the Constitution had a tough time knowing when not to use the apostrophe in ‘its’.

Number 8. The US has the shortest constitution. Among the rule writers of the modern world the early Americans were the most brief. They outlined the laws of the land in only 44 hundred words. For comparison, the longest constitution is India’s, which in English has over 117 thousand words.

Number 7. The US was relatively small when the Constitution was signed. There were only 4 million people in the country, and the largest city, Philadelphia, had a mere 40 thousand residents.

Number 6. There was a lot of debate about what to call the president. One suggestion was “His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties.” Eventually, the House and Senate settled on President of the United States.

Number 5. James Madison wasn’t entirely overlooked. If you feel that President Madison, regarded as ‘the father of the Constitution’, was shafted because he’s never been memorialized on money, rest easy. He’s on the super-rare 5 thousand dollar bill, as well as the one dollar coin.

Number 4. Americans are getting older. At the time the constitution was penned, the median age in the country was 16. Nowadays it’s in the mid 30s.

Number 3. The scribe who inked the Constitution was only paid $30. Of course, that’s over 700 dollars in today’s money. It was paid to one Jacob Shallus, a clerk for the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

Number 2. The Constitution refers to ‘others’. By that, the authors meant those belonging to ethnic minorities.

Number 1. Not all of those who signed the Constitution were born in the US. 4 of them came from Ireland.
