What amazes me most is Americans. They profess a love of freedom and equality yet love the royals Why in the world would that amaze you? As pointed out above, monarchies populate the top of the Human Freedom Index. That would indicate that "Americans" (even though I think you're painting with a broad brush, since there isn't any one "American" political philosophy) are professing something completely logical.
