Coming soon to the US.

I do not doubt that this menace of political correctness, which has sunk fear into honest men is a looming possibility. I will quote William Pitt, Earl of Chatham who opposed the attack of America. This invasion was at the behest of George 111, born of German parents and descended from the German monarchs.

William Pitt the Elder to the Parliament, circa 1777.

You cannot, I venture to say it, you cannot conquer America. If foreign troops landed in my country I would never lay down my arms, never, never, never.

He was referring to the mercenaries from Germany called the Hessians who supported British troops. What I am trying to say, is that quoting Edmund Burke :

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Surely these politically correct (expletive) manipulative swines can be cut off at the pass, so to speak.

Great quote, even if Burke never said it. Just as Voltaire never uttered his equally superb famous comment.
