A
recently auctioned letter from Britain's greatest naval hero reveals his thoughts about monarchies and republics, with which this blog heartily concurs.
"I
hate rebels, I hate traitors, I hate tyranny come from where it will. I
have seen much of the world, and I have learnt from experience to hate
and detest republics. There is nothing but tyranny & oppression, I
have never known a good act done by a Republican, it is contrary to his
character under the mask of Liberty. He is a tyrant, a many headed monster that devours your happiness and property. Nothing is free from this monster's grasp. A republic has no affection
for its subjects. A King may be ill advised and act wrong, a Republic
never acts right, for a knot of villains support each other, and
together they do what no single person dare attempt."

It almost seems as if he knew current political situation in the Czech Republic... :-) But apparently it has always been this way.
