Note to self...never quote Reagan in the presence of even a single Rat Party sympathizer.

LOL, what an absurd world we live in.
Sadly, you’re making too much sense on this with regard to today’s society.

But then, not everybody likes onions...they do, however, like parfaits!

The River War.......... The fact that I got that book and The History of the English Peoples volumes for less than shipping costs with a "DESTROY" stamp on the inside of each cover tells you all you need to know about the educational situation these days.
Unbelievable!!

The rest of the paragraph...
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

The post was made in jest.
Thank you for the full quote which is far more damning than my cheap barb.
If you wish to determine the true oppressed minority, see who is not free to criticize.

(Historians will refer to this administration as "The Half-Black Plague.")
To: Kennard
His views are a strange amalgam of racial purity, support for homosexual marriage and libertarianism.I'm afraid I don't see anything necessarily incongruous about this combination of view.
Why can't someone believe in racialism and simultaneously in libertarianism?
To: publius911
It has already spread throughout Central AfricaIt should be pointed out that Christianity is spreading faster in Africa at the moment than Islam.
To: Sherman Logan
Thanks for that. I had figured there had to be some editing as Churchill’s writing could be super-detailed which some editors find cumbersome. Considering Churchill was promptly voted out after the war and the present state of England, I am sure most folks over there didn’t want anything to do with the truth in east Africa back in the day let alone Winnie’s opinion!!

In
The River War WC said some very harsh things about Kitchener, who was in charge of the British forces in Sudan, and about the British policy there. In particular he poked large holes in the British propaganda claim that they were "rescuing" the poor Sudanese from the oppression of the khalifa. Quite similar to the claim that Iraqis would welcom us when we invaded, though probably with even less justification. Pointing this out wasn't popular among the British military and political elite.
During WWII WC was the head of the Navy and Kitchener was the head of the Army. His previous criticisms obviously created some stresses. :)
To: afraidfortherepublic
As pointless and ridiculous as this arrest is, he’s been arrested for refusing to move on when asked. Rather than the quote, but the latter makes a better headline.
