And MM is right! Too often are sovereigns attacked for their honesty, and their good deeds are too often forgotten. Or maligned, for their good deeds. When Abraham Lincoln frees the slaves it is considered a great thing, when Alexander II frees the serfs it is said to be riddled with problems
From The Mad Monarchist (9 September 2012)
-Proverbs 17:26
(other translations word this as 'attacking a prince for ruling honestly' -how often have we seen that)

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
