Surprisingly, there are some conservatives who are so conservative they reject classical liberalism and advocate a return to the monarchy. They argue that Enlightenment thinking—including the political and economic liberalism that accompanied it—was inherently anti-Christian, and while they may have a point I think they fail to recognize there’s little reason to assume the monarchy is a superior system.

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?

What matters most is that the governing authority, whether king, president, parliment or “central committee” recognize that they operate under the authority of God and are accountable to God.

Once a ruling authority forgets this or rebels against God, decay begins. Everything begins to fall apart.

A godly monarchy is better than an ungodly democracy.
