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?

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

Prince Phillip is an idiot of the first magnitude- a monarchical version of Joe Biden.

Out of the whole useless family, Philip is probably the one I like best, along with Harry. I am delighted that he speaks his mind without regard for nuance or political correctness.

Well, I don’t think Charles is the sharpest tool in the shed, either.

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

He was. Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth - and subsequently became a competent naval officer, commanding his own ship.

Charles = F’n @hole who questionably may have been involved with offing his wife. (IMHO)

Just Charles showing off his fine (in)breeding again

The belief that the British royal family is hopelessly inbred is a bit of a myth. If you look at the actual marriage patterns, monarchical spouses in the last century have been only distantly related, if at all: and it's many generations since the British monarch married anybody as close as a first cousin.

As would spear-chucking Aborigines and boozing Scotsmen, among many others!

Or perhaps I should say, non-spear-chucking Aborigines and non-boozing Scotsmen.

I realize that there isn't that much inbreeding among the royals today. It was a cheap shot on my part. It was that only someone that was born into wealth and prestige telling the rest of us about the dangers of consumerism sounds has if he were the product of inbreeding.

Princess Diana was Charles’ WIFE...pay attention!

Queen Elizabeth is his mother. She does not share her son’s opinions or morals.

Gosh, being from Montana, I do admire a vigilante; and you had me cheering in agreement. The Queen is very admirable. Great ole gal. I loved the look on her face, when Obama gave her the ipod...lol!

Anyway, I just have to point out, that Charles did go to military school. Sandhurst. He had a very strict upbringing. Actually, I think that is what the problem is; he was alone too often. Didn’t spend enough time with his parents and could not learn their values from them. He learned “about” their values. Anyway, that is my take. Too much influence by gay uncles and liberal aristocrats.

That is a matter of opinion. I agree with a great deal of his “gaffes”...I loved the one he gave Obama. Obama handed the queen the ipod, after grabbing her hand to shake, completely ignoring his protocol training....anyway, after that, he went on to chit chat, saying that he had had a tough day, meeting all the heads of state, when Phillip asked, “could you tell them apart?”...summing up Obama’s inexperience and ignorace quite nicely, thank you!

Charles admires socialism the way his uncle Edward VIII admired National Socialism.
