Ahhh, who cares what that horse-faced girly man thinks anyway?

I, too, trained as an historian (to the ABD level) [but my major field was Modern Europe (specialized fields the Enlightenment and 19th century German intellectual history); inside field, Modern US; outside field, philosophy of history. Ancient history is but a hobby]. While I now practice law, I also was trained in mathematical economics.

As they say:

Habe nun, Ach!,
Philosophie, Juristerei und Medizin (well, not really),
Und leider auch Theologie
Durchaus studiert mit heissem Bemuehn
Da steh ich nun als armer Tor
und bin so Klug als wie zufor....

[AnAmericanMother]

Eeek! Herr Doktor Faustus!

Funny - I'm a lawyer too. I practiced for 12 years, now working for a judge. I wrote my thesis on military history, specifically the War of Northern Aggression (I had some original family documents unpublished at that time.)

You can keep the math. One of the reasons I selected my college was that there was no math requirement for graduation! I married a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology, and HE handles anything requiring large numbers. And a good thing too . . .

und sehe schon an die sehen Jahr
Herauf, Herab, und Quer und Krum
Meine Schueler an der Nase herum
Und sehen, dass wir Nichts wissen koennen.

One of those monologues every educated person should know...

And you wrote on the Late Unpleasantness? (or The War as my 1871 Tennessee-born grandmother used to say). Very good. One of my greatgrandfathers died in the War, but the other was a minister who, though staying South, freed his slaves before the War. My only personal connection beyond that is through membership in a select Corps that, in an earlier incarnation, turned the tide at New Market in 1864 and provided a home for Professor Jackson in the 1850s.

Charles is also close to King Abdullah of Jordan. His glamorous wife Queen Rania is a close friend of the prince's partner, Camilla Parker Bowles and is a regular guest at St James's Palace.

The Coulter/Kournikova rule applies here...

BTW, regarding Prince Charles...haaaack-SPIT

[AnAmericanMother]

Ah, yes! My husband as near as an ace went to that fine institution of higher learning, but went to Tech instead mostly because he had family here in Atlanta.

I'm glad he did because I never would have met him otherwise, but in tradition and courage VMI stands behind no one.

I had four great-great grandfathers who were in. All survived, although three were wounded and one was "never the same" as they say. Lost quite a number of cousins killed, died of wounds, and died of disease though. Until very recently (when she died age 98) I had a great-aunt who still referred to "THE War" as though Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, and the Spanish-American war had never occurred.

Charles should plug all his orifi packed full with Camilla's used . . .

well, anyway.

[Quix]

Given his menatlity, personality, mental horse-power and breeding

I doubt we should expect anything other than

a lunatic comment.

PING

[Quix]

Have always thought and still think that all the scenarios casting him as the AntiChrist are off the wall.

However, I do wonder if he's up to his neck in the Globalist Government Tyranny plans in some way or other. His Islamist apologies are looking more and more suspicious.

Since we were talking about "Charles the Martyr", I was amused to find this on the WSJ site this evening:

Invitation to a Beheading

I see that my co-religionists (at least about 350 of them) are keeping up the old traditions . . .

[CatoRenasci]

Thanks for pointing me to that. I think I'm a little too broad church/nonconformist for the St Charles the Martyr folderol, though.

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, I'm so high I'm up in the rafters . . .

But this crowd are up on the roof, hugging the chimney pots. :-D

Blessed Lord, in Whose sight the death of Thy Saints is precious, we magnify Thy Name for Thine abundant grace bestowed upon our martyred sovereign; by which he was enabled so cheerfully to follow the steps of his blessed Master and Saviour in a constant meek suffering of all barbarous indignities, and at last resisting unto blood ; and even then, according to the same pattern, praying for his murderers. Let his memory, O Lord, be ever blessed among us, that we may follow the example of his courage and constancy, his meekness and patience, and great charity. And grant that this our land may be freed from the vengeance of his righteous blood, and thy mercy glorified in the forgiveness of our sins: and all for Jesus Christ His sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

Charles—who reads the Koran every day and often adopts Islamic dress at home—spends long hours discussing the Middle East's problems with Saudi royal family members.



is this true. Is he Islamic? Isn't he in line to be the head of the Church of England?

Is this true and well known. Is he an Islamic convert?

[GaPeach2012]

Prince Charles has lost his damn mind I think. I can't believe this idiot is coming here to America to plead with Bush and Americans that Islam is peaceful. Peaceful my ass!! pardon my french. Its clear that prince Charles is against America and American's. I say we should protect him coming here.
