Winston Churchill, Harvard Minority

I had somehow forgotten that Winston Churchill’s grandmother was one-quarter Iroquois indian, which makes Winston (if I’ve done my genealogical math correctly) one-sixteenth native American–twice as much as Elizabeth Warren supposedly is. Let’s see the diversity-mongers explain this away.

Roosevelt commented to Churchill during one of WSC’s wartime visits, “You know, Winston, my Dutch ancestors were among the very first settlers in what was then called Nieuw Amsterdam.” Churchill answered: “But, Franklin, it was my ancestors, the American Indians, who greeted them.”

Maybe now Obama will feel comfortable putting the Churchill bust back in the Oval Office.

Take that Elizabeth Warren from a real Indian, WSC. However, I doubt our narcissist-in-chief will replace WSC's bust

I think part of Zero's problem is that Churchill was more American than Zero is African. [Both 50% by blood, but Churchill's mother didn't run away.]

I didn’t see the show, but WSC’s father was a strange dude, to say the least.
