Wrote Mr. Samuel C. Starrett over at his marvelous weblog The Rambling Royalist:
Interesting. So the Campaign Manager and Executive Officer of an organization formed to promote unfettered democracy and deliver Britain into the hands of unchecked popular sovereignty admits that not only is popular opinion not always right, there is actually no link between rightness and popular opinion. A startling bit of candor there, and it ought to raise questions about the wisdom of democracy.previous
A dozen decades ago today, Herman Melville passed on.
In Mardi: And A Voyage Thither he wrote:
Better be secure under one king, than exposed to violence from twenty millions of monarchs, though oneself be one of them.
A year short of eleven score years ago today, the First French Republic was proclaimed.
Vive le Roi de la France!
Nine decades ago today, Baron Roman Nickolai Maximilian von Ungern-Sternberg was executed.
The Mad Monarchist has the baron as mascot or icon.
131 years ago today, H.L. Mencken was born.
In early November, the H.L. Mencken Club hosts its 2011 conference – November 4 through 5.
It is with sadness the news of the passing this Tuesday in Mexico of the last surviving issue of Emperor-King Blessed Charles and Empress-Queen Zita, His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Felix of Austria, is received.
Requiescat in pace!
