Actually, do forget Napoleon III.  :blush:

Nap III still towers over the later Bourbon Kings.  At least he brought free trade and parliamentary monarchy.

And hey at least he won in the Crimea and in Italy.

But the Bourbons won where it counted: in the American Revolution.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

That move was great for America but very very bad for France. :P

And especially bad for Louis XVI.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I wish Camper was still around.  He would always back me up in the greatness of killing all kings.

"they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?' A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him."

I'm not certain what you mean, if it's the British never turned back as teh #1...

That happened when the French rejected the teachings of Calvin and keep ties with the idol worshipping Roman Church.

Maria Theresa is turning over in her grave hearing her descendants trash the one true faith like that.

She would have been wise to embrace the teachings of Calvin as well.

Your love of the Protestants against the Habsburgs has been noted traitor.

I just...cannot believe what I am seeing.  Habsburg is dead to me. :(
