Ferdinand and Isabella were very pious and certainly did a lot of good in many ways, but their stoking the fires of the Inquisition and the expulsion of the Jews are certainly not models of respect for human rights. I suppose you don't believe in human rights. I'm a bit more sympathetic with the expulsion of the Moslems, as the context was after the War of Grenada, and such persons simply would not have been assimilable or loyal to a Christian state at that time.

But apparently the wholesale slaughter of native Americans is quite acceptable to you. Or how about the 1.5 million abortions that women commit every year. Or that GREAT icon of American Liberalism FDR who put American citizens of Japanese descent into concentration camps by executive order? Yeah, your American experiment is SOOoooo superior to every other political formation on the planet.

Actually, it is. Winston Churchill said so.

Imperfect? Yes. Preferable to unchecked monarchs? Infinitely so.
