Grotesque.

Steyn’s wrong about one thing. There may be no “Groom of the Stool,” but Prince Charles demands his grooms hold his urine samples when visiting doctors.

Another good, biting Steyn column. I honestly don’t understand why nobody questions this outrageous expense, particularly this “kick in the teeth” 3-week multi-multi-million dollar luxury vacation when everybody else in the country is being told that the end of the world is at hand.

Just seeing this tribe of arrogant grifters soiling the nation’s house and heritage every day is enough to make a patriot sad and mad.

He lives like Louis Quatorze. Perhaps he can combine he characteristics and fates of that Louis and Louis Seizième.

The Left and the welfare class take pride and vicarious joy in “their” prince’s ostentatious wealth. The non-Communist foggy brained Left has always been Royalist at heart. Consider the ongoing adulation of the Kennedys where even a certified downsyn could be elected to any office in the Northeast if he has a genetic link to the Kennedy clan. It is their Right to Rule.

I don’t get this comparison at all, it is completely apple and oranges.

When I was a teenager I was aware that I and my contemporaries lived better than kings. With the exception of control over the lives of others, something I didn’t want anyway.

Amanda Heron was dispatched to the local mall in Trenton, Ontario, and returned with a pale blue and white comforter and matching pillows. Is there no end to the grotesque indulgence of these over-pampered royal deadbeats? “I found a beautiful set,” said Master-Corporal Heron. “It was such a great price I bought one for myself.”

LOL!

Nothing like a Saturday Steyn column for a good laugh—and cry.

Put another way, O and Moo, the royal grifters in the white hut, cost the American taxpayers 2000% more than the entire royal family of Great Britain.

And that’s before he really cranks up the anonymous, crony capitalism, federal giveaways in return for donations to the Obama ‘library’ and foundation.

The founding fathers would [fill in the blank] if they could see what's followed George Washington into the presidency.

Charles was reared by a queen.

If you listen to democrats, you’ll find that they believe him to be some kind of all powerful ruler.

The fact that Obama won seems to be one of their explanations of why we shouldn’t have Right To Work in Michigan.

That’s a fact.

And our queen was reared by a Larry.

Wonder who the father of the first girls are - they sure don't look like Obunga.

Absolutely offensive that we must pay these type sums of money for this First Family to travel and live in such luxury. The Obamas’ use of Air Force One is without question unprecedented as no other president has has used the presidential aircraft to travel such distances for vacation.

We as a nation should not have to finance a president’s air travel for vacations. Instead, a president and his family should make use of commercial airlines to travel for pleasure.
