The Alvarez Galloso News Hour has decided to do a special on Monarchy VS Republic in America. Our staff has talked with several American Monarchists and has seen their webpage. Afterwards, it was decided by a majority vote that the American Monarchist do not have a forum and that the Alvarez Galloso News Hour was to give them the opportunity.

I have the honour of interviewing Nick Howard of “The Altar and Throne Blog” and will start immediately with the questions.

1. Why a Monarchy for America? What could a Monarchy do for America that a Republic cannot do? 

1. I believe that monarchy is the most efficient form of government. Our government is anything but efficient. A monarchy could provide stability and moral guidance to our nation, something the Republic has failed to provide.    

2. Why has the Concept of Republic failed in America? 

2. The concept of Republic has failed in America because Republics lead to chaos:  when the people are allowed to decide what should and what should not be legal, fallen human nature kicks in; people don’t know what is in their own best interest and the «whatever feels good» mentality becomes prevalent. Because the people have political power, they get what they want, which thus leads to moral and societal chaos. 

3. Why do Republicans and Democrats behave like the «absolute kings» they claim to detest? 

3. Republicans and Democrats, once in power, want to hold onto that power.  They then do what is necessary to keep their power, even if that requires utilizing means they claim to oppose. 

4. Why is it that a Republic brings disaster? This is asked taking into account that Nepal voted to abolish its monarchy and now things are spiraling out of control there?  

4. Again, people don’t know what is in their own best interest. Without a father or mother figure in the person of a king or queen, people act like little children whose parents aren’t watching. A Republic has no father or mother to the nation, and thus has no one to reign them back in when things get out of control.    

5. What can be done to inform people about Monarchy in order to initiate a discussion about it? 

5. I think the first step is simply to let people in America know that monarchists exist, as well as what monarchism means.  I cannot tell you how often I’ve told people that I am a monarchist only to get the response «What’s that?»  Most Americans have some vague notion that the Queen lives in England, but no real understanding of what a monarchy is or what it means in the political sphere.  We monarchists must get the word out that we are here! (As a side note, I’ve often thought it sad that hate groups such as the KKK, Neo-Nazi groups, and the Black Panthers are far more vocal and recognized by society than any monarchist organization I know of).    

6. What would an American Monarchy be like? 

6. I’m not really sure what an American monarchy would look like as republican and egalitarian ideals have been so ingrained upon our national psyche for over 200 years. I really don’t see a monarchy in America unless some terrible natural disaster happened, a terrible and destructive world war, or our government utterly collapsed.  I think that realistically we won’t see a monarchy in this country except under the above conditions.   

7. How Did the Concept for the Altar and Throne Blog get started? 

7. I started the Altar and Throne Monarchy Site as a way to express my own political and religious views, but also to let others out there know that they are not alone in their monarchist leanings. I cannot tell you how alone I felt in my early days of monarchist beliefs. I wanted other monarchists to know that they were not alone.  An unintended consequence of my blog is that I have informed many die-hard republicans about monarchism. I don’t think I’ve «converted» any of them, but I have gained their respect.   

8. Both of us [I was born in America too] were born and raised under the concept of the «benevolent republic». What made you become a monarchist? 

8. I became a monarchist because I simply lost faith in this nation. I was tired of abortion, contraception, pornography, homosexuality, the war in Iraq, etc. and saw a strong Catholic monarchy as the only solution and preventative to these evils.    

9. Are there monarchists movements in America doing charitable work in America? 

9. I know of no monarchist movements doing charitable work here in America.    

10. What is the future for America if it continues its present course? 

10. I firmly believe that this nation will continue to fall into the abyss of immorality and debauchery, and ultimately the government will implode. This might not happen within my lifetime, but this Republic’s days are numbered.  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be interviewed, and thank you for furthering the monarchist cause! Nick  

I would like to thank you for accepting my invitation. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your family, and the Throne and Altar Site.
