I think there’s one Freeper—B-Chan—who calls himself a monarchist, but I’m not sure if that’s why. I know a couple people in real life who lean in that direction, and I recently went to an ISI conference at Yale where many of the speakers seemed to take that position.

I'm a monarchist - but I also happen to live in a Constitutional Monarchy which works well, and where the reserve powers of the monarch have only been used twice in our history to block illegal actions by socialist governments.

I certainly wouldn't advocate a monarchy for the United States, because the US has also come up with a system that works well. That's the most important thing for any nation.

The question has been asked: So you think that a monarchy can be superior to the Constitution of the United States.

The problem is, in my country, the monarchy would not be replaced by anything like the Constitution of the United States. It's not likely to be in most monarchy's. America wound up with a wonderful constitution out of revolution - that's not really all that common.

I am a monarchist because I am a Conservative and a Christian. Monarchism is the only divinely-ordained system of government, and the only system of government that is based upon Conservative principles.
