The other side of that coin is that they saved us in WWII also. With out the intervention of war we would have continued the downward spiral into socialist dictatorship that FDR and his cronies had planed for us. Thank god the communists wanted to protect Stalin and where bedazzled by the “glory” however false, of war.

I have my problems with Mitt. His running the Salt Lake OOC isn’t one of them. If he’s got concerns about how things are going, Boris Johnson and them need to get over their butthurt and listen.

And saying he’s “worse than Sarah Palin”, as much as it may have been intended to be, really isn’t an insult. The vast majority of American pols are worse than Sarah Palin.

Ah, yes. Remind me again why I have such contempt for British politicians on both the Left and Right.

It all started in the weeks after VE Day when they overwhelming voted Winston Churchill out of office and installed Clement Attlee who proceeded to give them socialized medicine and turn a first rate world power which had played the key role in defeating Nazi Germany into a has been and a honey pot for third worlders intent on transforming Great Britain into no longer great.

Your security?

Who do you think PROVIDES your bloody effing security? David Cameron (or your apparent butt-boy Jeremy Hunter, for God’s sake) sure as hell doesn’t secure your kilted little fanny from the likes of China or Russia or even from a nuclear-armed Pakistan or Iran.

You WERE sneering about 9-11. Let me offer a suggestion: If you plan to run around London giving lessons in manners and diplomacy, as you are doing here, be damned careful which Yanks you select to receive your beery wisdom in person.

There are a hell of a lot of them, like me, who on hearing you spit upon the memory of that day, will instantly make you pay for it in your own blood, and likely a half a dozen of your stained and crooked teeth as well.

‘Who do you think PROVIDES your bloody effing security?’

The Royal Navy, the RAF, the British Army, and the British nuclear deterrent.

‘or your apparent butt-boy Jeremy Hunter, for God’s sake’

Its Hunt, not Hunter. For god’s sake.

‘You WERE sneering about 9-11.’

Did I say anything that wasnt true?.

‘There are a hell of a lot of them, like me, who on hearing you spit upon the memory of that day, will instantly make you pay for it in your own blood, and likely a half a dozen of your stained and crooked teeth as well.’

Course you would. Internet hardman par excellence.

BTW, I spent 7 years in the British Paras. The only teeth being knocked out would be yours.

Bring it, sotboy.

When are you coming over?

I want to hear your little 9-11 comedy act in person.

First few words of it anyway.

BTW what’s your fetish for Hunt, anyway? You’re related to him aren’t you? So your name is Mike?

No dear that “profit” was 50% MORE in costs...

We US taxpayers paid $1.5 BILLION when spend thrift Willard was through spending our money on pork etc...

Willard taught Obama how to spend the taxpayers money...

2 years beforee the Oympics John McCain read off some of Willie the Wastrels expenditures on the Senate floor...

From the Congressional Record:

Senator McCain on the GAO Report
On Sept. 19, 2000, Sen. McCain, speaking in opposition to the Conference Report on the 2001 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill advised the Senate of details from the GAO’s report. As recorded in the Congressional Record, Sen. McCain stated,

“The GAO now determines that $1.3 billion—and some of those I will read: $974,000 for the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command; $5 million for the Utah Communications Agency Network; $3 million to Olympic Regional Development Authority, upgrades at Mt. Van Hoevenberg Sports Complex; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics bus facilities; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics regional park-and-ride lots; $500,000, Salt Lake City Olympics transit bus loan, and on and on; $925,000 to allow the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command to continue to develop and support a public safety program for the 2002 Winter Olympics; $1 million for the 2002 Winter Olympics security training; $2.2 million for the Charleston Water Conservancy District, UT, to meet sewer infrastructure needs associated with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. What the Olympic games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” — Sen. John McCain in the United States Senate, Sept. 19, 2000 - [Page S8731-S8748 - Congressional Record.]

Years ago I watched the Australian Olympics,
________________________________________________

If that was the 1956 one I saw movies of it...

A teacher I had a couple of years later had been to it...

He would show the movies and discuss the sports and what he had seen etc...

It was great...

We were about 12/13 and it was exciting to see so much of the Olympics...

When NBC showed Mitt in the stands, Costas basically said that Mitt saved the 2002 Games.

Romney could not have embarrassed the Brits more than they have embarrassed themselves with the opening ceremonies. They were disgusting.

Impressive! Your post is a very ‘special’ combination of historical innaccuracy, anachronism and narcissism.

Still, mustn’t keep you from your undoubtedly important part in running the world! :D
