I wul wager that the total population of Monarchists in America (who are by Birth Amercan, from American Parents) would be very low, less than 5%.<br /><br />On that note, I happen to beleive America and all Nations woudl be better off as Monarchies, with only a few exceptions possible. One such being Israel which should wait or Messiah to be true to their Jewish Charecter. ( I am a Chrisian, and beleive them mistaken, except for Messianic Jews, But also beleive people should live under their own Convictions.)<br /><br />I also think 1776 was a mistake and the entue notin of Modern Nation-States is daft. Our modernist, Democracy oriented society is suppose to make us both free and united, but it has divided more nations and mroe Empires than anythign else along sectarian lines.<br /><br />I woudl prefer America to simply go back under the Britanic Crown as Canada does and if I could go further, I woudl liek to re-establish the mpire, though with sme modification.<br /><br />Still, if that is not included, let America join the Comonwealth, and strenfthen it into a sort of cnfederation.<br /><br />Thats my take.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-48437203722485790452010-01-29T00:05:34.251-06:002010-01-29T00:05:34.251-06:00I do not think that American monarchists are that ...I do not think that American monarchists are that rare, in comparison with other countries when you take out the "status quo" factor. Whether one supports monarchy on principle and whether one thinks that one's republic should become a monarchy are two different questions. At any rate, I don't think that democracies last long. So, when they destroy themselves with their own contraditions and suicidal tendencies, then upon the ashes, we can rebuild using older foundations.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />An American monarchistJosephhttp://www.arimathea.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-84107253929142072862010-01-26T23:19:07.681-06:002010-01-26T23:19:07.681-06:00Though I am loathe to engage in reductio ad Hitler...Though I am loathe to engage in reductio ad Hitler, I do feel obliged to point out that Hitler was very popular in Germany, and was elected at the head of the largest party in the Reichstag in 1933 (though he was shy of a majority). Not to mention Mussolini had a great deal of popular support (enough to scare the King into giving him all the powers he wanted), Stalin and Lenin had personality cults, and Mao Tse Tung, in spite of his barbarity, is still considered quite favourably among the Chinese (and the Communists aren't facing much unrest, except from those who have legitimate grievances which the government usually does try to resolve. Yes, might as well give credit where it's due).<br /><br />Then again, among the Russians, the Romanov martyrs are being venerated, and an active interest in the monarchy does appear to be coalescing in the Great White Land. Murmurs of restoration speak to this, and the Church's veneration of them as martyrs, and the retrieval of their bodies, has led many to reevaluate the brutality the supposedly inflicted.<br /><br />Though Lenin and Stalin are held up as great heroes, their time will ultimately pass. Alexander II is still the Tsar-Liberator, and Peter the Great, Catherine, Elizabeth, and many more provide colourful and wonderfully varied personalities (not to mention they grace much nicer portraits).<br /><br />Mayhap we in th West might pick up on this, and accept that there are those who are better than we are (for such is the natural state of the world).Professor Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659779116600213901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-41937986459373249882010-01-26T15:40:23.128-06:002010-01-26T15:40:23.128-06:00It is also rarely truly representative as it refle...It is also rarely truly representative as it reflects only popular opinion at a single point in time, but that's an opinion poll for you; nothing like basing major national decisions on the split-second impressions of the uninformed.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-37757296436894415332010-01-26T14:21:43.311-06:002010-01-26T14:21:43.311-06:00Alas!
