I don't disagree with any of your points. Remember that I have the fleur-de-lis flag on my own wall. If I may somewhat pompously refer to
my own essay, I guess I'm still a little torn between neomonarchism and paleomonarchism. You seem to have moved more firmly into the latter camp, am I correct? Probably because I'm still not a Christian, I'm more committed to the narrow goal of preserving or restoring as many monarchies as possible, no matter how many compromises must be made, than to a comprehensive counterrevolution. I may come around to your point of view eventually though...just give me time. :)
You know I've had to be (or try to be) very diplomatic for a long time, and I am rather enjoying being able to sound as downright reactionary as I please. With a few more films like "The Last Samurai" maybe reactionaries will become more popular.
Especially with France and the fleur-de-lys there is too strong a connection with me between Church & Crown. I will accept changes (as you know) but any compromise on issues dealing with this (whether the Estates Generale or Vatican II) is going to annoy me.
Here's to being hot or cold but never lukewarm!
