After a while it starts to look intentional as if 'bumbling heir' is the narrative the media has chosen for him and they'll be damned before they'll make the effort to write a new one.A Kisaragi Colourhttp://maplemonarchists.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-7633175195499558352015-11-01T20:28:26.511-05:002015-11-01T20:28:26.511-05:00Great quote.

This ideology was far from benign or just a matter of fashion. The Marxism of the Bolshevik regime totally absorbed, adopted and extended the whole concept of Modernism to create the profoundly soulless, vicious, dehumanized ideology which eventually engineered the coldly calculated death of countless millions of its own citizens as well as entire living traditions, all for the simple reason that the end justified the means in the great ‘historic struggle’ to turn people against their true nature and into ideological, indoctrinated ‘machines.’"<br />-HRH Charles The Prince of WalesA Kisaragi Colourhttp://maplemonarchists.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-84117725903341518782013-11-07T07:15:19.477-05:002013-11-07T07:15:19.477-05:00I'm so please furnace companies are as thrille...I'm so please furnace companies are as thrilled with the book as I am!Marie Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872774009526266579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-4685174317384884992013-11-07T05:12:29.760-05:002013-11-07T05:12:29.760-05:00Fabulous info and glorious blog i really appreciat...Fabulous info and glorious blog i really appreciate your work..<br /><a href="http://www.cosmopolitanmechanical.ca/lennox-furnaces/2.html" rel="nofollow">High Efficiency Furnace</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818182192873706904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-73200131864097610712013-10-22T05:09:13.571-04:002013-10-22T05:09:13.571-04:00This is really fantastic advice, thank you so much...This is really fantastic advice, thank you so much<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cambridgeheat.com/furnace.php" rel="nofollow">High Efficiency Furnace Toronto</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204645184242213819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-9056636320264704572013-08-23T21:47:05.772-04:002013-08-23T21:47:05.772-04:00I'm still working on re-schooling the masses o...I'm still working on re-schooling the masses one class at a time!
