Surprisingly, there are some conservatives who are so conservative they reject classical liberalism and advocate a return to the monarchy.

I wouldn't call that being ultra-conservative. It could more accurately be described as extremely idiotic and stupid.

Are these Freepers you're talking about, or well-known conservative personalities?

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.

To the strange but sadly true statement;
"Surprisingly, there are some conservatives who are so conservative they reject classical liberalism and advocate a return to the monarchy."

You in part, somewhat sensibly implored;

Hate to tell 'ya ---but Check out this guy, B-Chan, @ post # 24

Here's a piece of the guy's mind;

The tagline is a real loo-loo, too.
He's been here a while. I assume he hasn't yet attempted to institute a Catholic monarchy in Texas, though, since he's obviously still breathing.

A democracy of self-centered "idiots" will be far worse than any benevolent monarchy. As our founders knew all too well, democracy can only succeed when voters put their own limited self-interests behind those of future generations. Those who do not understand the need for sacrifice in self-governemnt vote in the welfare-state or socialistic fascism that inevitably destroys it.

You would be well advised to familiarize yourself with Plato's "The Republic" before casting insults like "extremely idiotic and stupid". Until then you describe no one but yourself.
