#3 Common Jackal. You don't really think Chief Chickenshit could write a grammatical sentence in English.

#4 Quotes from Winston Churchill

The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

#5 I retract my snarky statements I added inline to the Churchill story yesterday, at least inasmuch as they would have applied to Sir Winston.

I am not holding the actual author in very high regard, however.

#6 re: the Great Winston Churchill

We should remind each other of at least three examples to watch for anytime we see an accusation.

1) Richard Jewell

2) Character assassination commited with a purpose by the left, MSM and the Clintonista attack machine.

3) Holding Historical figures to standards and values of another epoch. which I grant is not simple and fraught with sink traps but...

Holding Jefferson to measure up to and account for our 21th century values on slavery for instance.

Civilization, all it's history, laws and social values accumulate, we all stand on the shoulders of our forefathers and the evolving rules laid down before.
