The only place I would like to see a monarch is in pictures at a museaum.

To be a true American is to oppose monarchy and tyranny.

Personally I see them in my Catholic Church......great kings - who were sages and saints: Brigid of Sweden, Louis of France, Edward and Edmund of England, Wenceslaus of Bohemia; Lasislaus of Poland, , Karl von Hapsburg of Austria, ......and many, many others.

Oh dear; I've just had my citizenship revoked by the great Clemenza! Whatever will I do?

I guess all the Americans who eagerly watched the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 or the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981, or who have enthusiastically welcomed various monarchs on their visits to the U.S. are traitors. President Bush must not be a "true American" since he recently hosted the King and Queen of Spain at his ranch. I suppose you would have given them a lecture on the evils of monarchy and the virtues of republicanism?

The New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia had the same views as you do; he was furious that New Yorkers were interested in the visits of Queen Marie of Romania and the exiled Romanovs in the 1920s. But neither then nor now have all Americans agreed that monarchy is tyranny, though I'll concede that few will identify themselves as monarchists as I do.

You sound like a French revolutionist.

What about being a true Catholic?

What about striving for the Social Reign of Christ the King?
