Holy hell, what is society becoming? I just recently completed listening to "The Last Lion" about Sir Winston's life from 1940 to 1965. I'm not ashamed to admit that I teared up at the end. I'm fairly certain that if I got to choose to spend a day with anyone from history Churchill would be near the top of the list of consideration.

It just makes me sad. We can't separate the man from the time he lived in. The revisionist want to demonize a man who near single handedly saved Western Europe. If only there were more Churchills in the world today.

This is what can happen when you read without understanding the words.

Churchill was undoubtedly the most fascinating man of our time. I’ve read all his books at least once, have several books featuring his quotes, and the 11 volume biography by his son and Martin Gilbert.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Good. He was using the quote to attack the right anyway as if somehow we acted inappropriately after Kavanaugh was confirmed by daring to actually swear him in.

Fuck him and his wife. I love when liberals get eaten by their own.

WC warned the world about Islam back in 1898?? Or sometime around the turn of the Century. Is that what the racism is about?

Wouldn't it be a gas, to time travel about 100 years forward and see how history treats assholes like Kelly?

The reason I use a quote from H L Mencken at the bottom of my posts, is that all the great Churchill quotes are already being used here! Cool

He's a minor PITA when compared to his brother Mark the puppet master.

Yeah Mark is married to "10 Minutes until Whapner" Giffords, although I have no doubt Scott is likely a leftist as well.

I believe the current vernacular is "front hole". And yes, he is such.
