Churchill looking forward to an early general election. He anticipates the great issue will be Socialism vs. freedom.
Of course, Britain made the wrong choice and has been getting poorer ever since.
On my latest news-gathering trip I came upon some articles about Churchill and Atlee taking sides in that battle. Look for them in June.
One of the few that had that recognition.
Few seem to have recognized it as the great issue since and few today seem to recognize (creeping) Socialism vs. (eroding) freedom as the great issue today, embodied in America as the federal government essentially ignoring without consequence (until the states and the people wake up) the U.S. Constitution, the only legal guardian of freedom against the tyranny of socialism.
A careful study of the history of the United States, especially seen in Supreme Court opinions and decisions, reveals freedom and the Constitution as written and originally intended, have been under attack from the very beginning.
The attack on our precious freedom and our special Constitution which protects it reminds me of how Jesus was under attack even before he was born. The world doesn't like the precious grace of Jesus or liberty.
Reminds me of this scripture (think of America and/or Mary as "the woman")...
and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born (Rev 12:4).
