It was a great day to behead him. Kings don’t go away on their own. And freedom couldn’t happen in a nation with a monarch following the Vatican.

You must have gone to a liberal Big 10/Pac 10 Univeristy. The French Monarchy at that time were the most enlightened in all of Continental Europe. The concessions they made for the republic were incredible for the time. By the way, it was not Marie Antoinette who said, “Let them eat cake!” Do you even know who it was?

Yeah, I’m sure the Jacobins were a much more enlightened bunch. And an emperor is far less a tyrant than a king.

Well how nice that you approve of the murder of priests and religious during the Reign of Terror, much like ISIS today.
