Where Does Prince Charles Get Off Decrying Capitalism?
FOXBusiness ^ | August 04, 2009 | David Asman

Posted on 08/06/2009 10:29:09 AM PDT by george76

There are few things more annoying than a millionaire socialist -- hearing someone condemn capitalism after they’ve already banked their million.

The only thing worse is a billionaire socialist. Folks like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez make this list.

And now add to it Britain’s bonnie Prince Charles. Earlier this month the prince gave a lecture in which he blamed capitalism and consumerism for bringing the world to the brink of collapse and declared that the “age of convenience is over.” He warned that the world has just 96 months to avert "irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it."

Now here’s a royal brat who has spent his life wanting for nothing and being waited on hand and foot…and he’s lecturing the rest of us about consumerism? ... Let him fire the dozens of servants and parlor maids he has waiting on him 24/7.

This is a guy who’s indulged in anything he ever wanted, and he’s got the nerve to tell us that the days of convenience and capitalism are over?

The "age of convenience" is over.

Charles comes from good stock. His mom was a crackerjack grease monkey during World War II and has always tried to conduct her office with dignity even when it cost her popularity, the dignified manner in which she tried to conduct Princess Di's funeral being a case in point. Charles father was also in the thick of things during World War II. I don't recall any idiotic political statements from either.

Charles would have been better off being sent to a military academy like his father and taught some disclipline.

Instead, like too many boomer's parents, they bent over backwards trying to give him opportunity and he repays them like a typical 60's era hippie by (1)not being able to control his schlong and (2)trying to tear down the very system which gave him the opportunities to be a full-time professional celebrity jerk.

“Bonnie Prince Charles is just another intellectual, using the term loosely...”

Had to laugh: Prince Charles as an intellectual is something I never thought I’d hear! Ha! Good one!

This is another example of royal inbreeding. He is beginning to sound as kooky as the democrats.

LOL - Prince Charles' entire life is built on convenience. This is a man who has never earned a penny and has been guaranteed a cradle-to-grave life of luxury to be paid for by people who work and pay taxes. He rides around in private jets and chauffeured luxury cars and still manages to find the gall to lecture others on the evils of the overtaxed econo-boxes they use to get to work and earn money.

The man gives other ungrateful parasites a bad name.

This is a 60 year old guy with no job whose 80+ yr old mother won’t retire because she doesn’t trust him to take over the family business

This is a man who fantasized about being his mistress’s tampon...

You haven't been paying attention. Prince Phillip is an idiot of the first magnitude- a monarchical version of Joe Biden.

I work everyday and live a modest lifestyle. I have everything I need and alot of what I want. I may never be rich but I am not poor. (been poor, tho) I feel very blessed to have what I have and I work everyday to maintain my lifestyle.

If, suddenly, some circumstances caused Chuck to lose everything and he was left with the exact worth that I have and had to work everyday..... he would kill himself.
If I suddenly had his wealth, I would think I was dreaming. I would do cartwheels in the street.

Its all about perspective , Chuckyboy. I guarantee I am still alot happier person than he is.

Prince Chuckles is always good for a laugh!

Prince Charles: good for a laugh. King Charles III: not so much.

He is a prime example of too much interbreeding.

To be happy with what you have you have to earn it. That’s something that A-HOLE has never had to do. Inbreeding not a good thing.

What a twit. Britain should start by abolishing the monarchy and selling off all the state supported castles, polo ponies etc. for the benefit of the people. Chuck and his family can either go on the dole or find real jobs.

Charles’ lip service to the global warming fruits is nothing more than an elitist coward’s attempt to curry favor with his detractors. Maybe the Labour clowns are right: maybe it’s time to retire the Crown.

” the “age of convenience is over.”

Really, Charles? OK, since you are the future king you can lead by example and get rid of all of your conveniences.

You can start by taking a 1 room flat in the poorest section of Liverpool and walking to your job at the fish factory.

It is truly pathetic to witness the contempt a horses behind like this has for those who made possible his pusillanimous, thoroughly unimportant life.
