And MY people mingled with the Yanks so that the arrogance was softened by southern gentility. However, I refuse to own slaves.
the royals do not MAKE money unlike the idols - and the royals can be just as vulgar -whether it is dressing up as a NAZI or making a cocaine and hooker sex tape.
Yes. Occasionally a good one does renounce their title

helping the less fortunate by letting them eat cake!
The word is Yankee Tories: the anglophilic dregs of bygone New England elitists (when all Republicans were Episcopalians) who still pine over the Church of England (the kind who swoon over choirs performing the music from Elizabeth’s coronation— yep, they do that at some churches).
The word, Yankee, derives from the french/indian war with Britain, in which the French “l’anglais” was warped by the Huron in their attempts at “english” into...”yengees, or yang-gees”. Naturally, linguists ignore this because they say it is not from “indian origins”— it isn’t, it’s French/Huron.
The name was picked up along the way by coexisting colonists, who continued to harbor anti-Brit sentiments into our American Revolution and proudly self-identified. Washington being a former tory, became a Revolutionary, and many more like him. The tory loyalists fled the new nation after the Revolution, to places like the Bahamas, and other Brit protectorates. The later conflagration in the South, identified these “connected” brit wannabes in the North as— yankees, and properly so.
And how much cake have YOU eaten from those in power?
Thanks! At least I’m not the only one here who is interested in the history of our country, our forefathers, and our customs.
I appreciate your input! Would you be so kind as to send it to my FReepmail? That way, I can print it and refer to it when the times require. And even include it in my own genealogy!
Thanks again,

Will park your request, and get back to you.
Thank you! I will appreciate anything that helps me understand my heritage.

That's what Napoleon and Hitler both said. Teach an army how to swim in mud, and maybe just maybe they could get 'er done. Then Russia could have cable tv everywhere.
Napoleon and Hitler were just human. This is the Undead Invasion, led by our promised blood-drinking Commander Prince Whatshisname. It had better be James.
We are not concerned about mud ... but we are very concerned about decent TP. Anoreth will have to bring a Great Big Truck to carry enough.
He does have a point about the British Monarchy destroying the Russian State.
I mean, it was Queen Victoria’s daughter entering into an arranged marriage to the Tsar that brought both hemophillia AND Rasputin into the picture.
Tsarina Alexandra was Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, and the marriage to Tsar Nicholas was a romantic one, not arranged. She did, however, carry the gene for hemophilia, which afflicted her son and perhaps a daughter.
Thanks, my bad.
I will add that hemophilia no longer afflicts the British royal family ... but our promised leader Prince Whatsisname will be “hemo-” “-philios” in the strictest Greek sense.
I’m very fond of Nicholas, such a dutiful, OCD, kind of guy.
To my Undead Kitteh list, what do y’all think about this for the new Undead Thread. It’s been a long while since we moved.
*shrug* That would be an improvement over some of the real turkeys there now.
Looks like East, toward Russia, to me.
