Wikipedia is a leftist source as articles like these show. If you wouldn't trust what they have to say about you Modern Conservatives do not trust what they have to say on anything about Classical Conservatives (Monarchists). The left have been lying about us since 1789. Only difference is that most of my camp gave up fighting long ago to try and work within the system of democracy to keep the values of monarchism (Realist Philosophy) alive (these people would be the old school American conservatives such as the Federalist Party and especially the Know-Nothing Party) while you all are still fighting. It hasn't worked out well for us obviously considering the most conservative party now is the GOP, but this thread has shown the rising amount of people who want to go back to the time and tested way of doing things. Amazing white-pill!
If they were so in favor of monarchy, why didn't they enact one when they had the chance?
They saw democracy as inevitable. The values of the Enlightenment that swept Europe changed the focus of living from working within the natural order to create the good and beautiful (what the Greeks called Arete) to man as the center of all things (what the Greeks called Hubris). That change in values destroyed the legitimacy of divine right which is essential to monarchism. So it was decided that since democracy was inevitable that the best course of action was to pre-empt a French like reign of terror in a generation or two by creating a democracy; but severely hamstringing it to limit the damage that it could do. This is the reason for all the checks and balance in our government, the reason we use the electoral college rather than a popular vote, and the reason we have a bill of rights. This is also why suffrage was originally given to only the landed men (a proto-aristocracy). It was a valiant effort on part of the Founding Fathers to halt the rising tide of leftism, but all it did was slow our decent into leftist rule rather than avoid it.
If you are interested in a good redpill on the Founding Fathers, then check out Dr. Nelsons The Royalist Revolution. No online PDF, but since it is the Christmas season all the online retailers like Amazon are offering free returns until January. If you can read 240 so pages by month's end, its a great study on the part of our history that the left has managed to hide. Everything is immaculately sourced using contemporary documents as well. The bibliography in the back of the book can direct you to all matters of personal correspondence that the Founding Fathers had with each other which highlighted their feelings. Hard to beat straight from the horses mouth.
