Nobody is calling for an American monarchy, constitutional or otherwise. Some of us admire the woman who happens to be Queen Elizabeth. Just like some of us are interested in the flow of history and the roles, good or bad, that historical figures have played in it.

So I'm not sure why you are trying to turn such a benign discussion into something controversial, but then I'm not someone who looks for excuses to argue or upset people. Things are upsetting enough, already. But, that just my personal choice.
