Nicholas II took actions that helped Jews but considering that so many were involved in the revolutionary movement, it would not be surprising for him to be a little suspicious of them. As for the "Protocols" book, remember that it was not exposed as a fake until the 1920's, long after Nicholas II was dead. If he believed what it said, it is quite different from those people who choose to believe it today, ignoring the facts of the book's origins. I doubt he was fond of them overall but opinion in those days were much different than they are today and I don't think he wanted any harm to come to them. Most everyone in those days held views that would be considered racist today and, as you say, anti-Semitic views today are frequently tolerated as long as they come from certain groups.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-46206220953304562622016-05-31T23:07:55.947-05:002016-05-31T23:07:55.947-05:00MadMonarchist, I'm aware you've spoken of ...MadMonarchist, I'm aware you've spoken of it a bit in past articles, but was is your opinion of the constant barrage of claims of anti- semitism directed against the Romanovs? So called "conservative" Simon Sebag Montefiore has published a new book on the Romanov family and seems to go along with these accusations. I skimmed through the book and it claims that Nicholas I, Alexander III and Nicholas II were supposedly rabid anti-semites. Are these claims true or false, or somewhere in between? I'm leaning towards them being republican half truths, however I read a book of the Romanovs' letters entitled "A Lifelong Passion: Nicholas and Alexandra: Their Own Story" and in one of the letter from around 1916 Tsar Nicholas says that he was reading a copy of the protocols of zion and calls it "topical reading", so I'm not sure what to think. I find it pathetic that leftists always sniff out any hint of anti- semitism or racism amongst white Christians but let it slide amongst arabs and other non whites.

They need to uphold the rights granted by God not by man or they would be excommunicated and deposed. Things changed for monarchy when some monarchs claimed divine right when it is only the Church and the Church alone which has divine right. The Church legitimizes monarchs, they can't legitimize themselves.<br /><br />As for economic and personal freedom, monarchies are not bound by political institutions. You can have everything from a meritocratic completely capitalistic Kingdom to a Welfare socialist Kingdom. So if you like libertarian economic ideas then you could incorporate those ideas into monarchy while rejecting that which conflicts with monarchy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248540898161266405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-23944916315065651562016-05-24T22:28:45.089-05:002016-05-24T22:28:45.089-05:00Your country not only has republicans but also a m...Your country not only has republicans but also a majority of your MPs seem to support mass immigration from outside Scandinavia.

The installation of a new monarch should be not just a civil affair but also a religious affair. Kings should be crowned by a member of the clergy, I believe it adds an extra measure of solemnity to the act. The king is not "just" a hereditary politician but a servant of both the people and God. And while the King should be crowned by a member of his church there is nothing to say that other denominations could not be present to give their blessings to the new monarch. If the king's reign is successful so are the people.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031973472077814562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-3815627122060152722016-05-21T16:21:04.366-05:002016-05-21T16:21:04.366-05:00As always, Great post MM.

Having been convinced by many of the arguments made by libertarians about personal and economic freedom, I find it hard to reconcile it with my other held beliefs of obedience to my monarch, and whether I should support a monarchy that could have the authority to strip my rights. I've seen some of your other posts, so I know you're not exactly pro big government. How would you solve this problem?<br /><br />Kind regards.LordHaytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447656616314045865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-86795707390177604922016-05-21T14:05:28.812-05:002016-05-21T14:05:28.812-05:00It saddens me to see the west go this way.

I think the loss of Christianity was due to World war 2, The Soviet Union and the creation of the Western welfare state's which stimulated individualism, secularism and materialism.

The rest were pretty decidedly and openly Antichristian, often with a Marxist tinge.<br /><br />Whether a monarch or future such is faithful is, if the person is not allowed to be open about it, a bit hard to judge.<br /><br />A private confidence can be a deception.<br /><br />Suppose I had to oppose such and such a monarch over such and such an impious measure the monarch supported by loyalty to parliament, I would of course be opposing the body politic of the monarch, which is openly there, not the body physic, of which all but his nearest may only be guessing.<br /><br />A real knowledge even of private devotion in the body physic would not imply a duty to oppose the body politic over a measure which is clearly not Christian at all. Even less would a private confidence cut the ice, and even less than that a private confidence perhaps given to someone else but only hinted at by the person.<br /><br />« Dieu - la Patrie - les Fueros - le Roi » - That is the kind of Monarchist I am.Hans Georg Lundahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055583255516264955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-58384657373512580202016-05-20T19:35:13.555-05:002016-05-20T19:35:13.555-05:00Excellent conclusion.Excellent conclusion.V.
