They appear to be more substantial than Charles and Camilla.<br /><br />On the other hand, their visit does not argue for the return of privilege.<br /><br />The real hypocrisy behind modern conservatism is that the so called party of the little man is steadfastly devoted to the empowerment of the wealthy.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-15804125222603674502011-07-05T11:14:56.428-04:002011-07-05T11:14:56.428-04:00Off topic totally, but during the Royal visit in M...Off topic totally, but during the Royal visit in Montreal, some of the Quebec separatist protesters drew outrage from Gazette columnists and their friends (right winged postmedia, don't forget) because some of the signs referred to Royals as "Parasites". I'm not going to say whether I agree or disagree, and that's not really what that is about. Only to say that I find that outrage really rich when they use those exact terms to describe the poor,the downtrodden, welfare recipients and yes, unionized labour--public servants. When you think about it, the Royals don't work. They're very wealthy, but they do live off the backs of the taxpayers. Yet, not many have a problem with that.ckhttp://sistersagesmusings.canoreply@blogger.com
