Because an irresolute and small-minded age applies its own neuroses backward to history, because actors love to portray internal torment, and because we fancy ourselves so sophisticated that we know the official story of the past to be a ruse, movies about important historical figures have become less inspiring and “more human,” at times even iconoclastic... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well said. Churchill is denigrated because his achievement was to defeat Fascism of every stripe in the entirety of Europe and in the West, not just the Nazis. But now as the Malthusian thought which created the Holocaust is now taken up by the nationalist socialist left, and as the left in Canada and the United States become increasingly Liberal Fascist, they define those who fought for our freedom as mere pikers. It is to laugh. The only reason they get away with it is that now most WWWII veterans are dead or in their dotage.

And we do suffer from an Alisnsky based liberal fascism which governs by political correctness and the selective enforcement of law, and rule by fiat.
( Yes, read it here: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html ),

So the liberal fascists seek to redefine history to make it more palpable, and to rein in the public who revere Churchill, and to define a political correctness to do so, as a matter of control.

Remember Obama removed the bust of Churchill from the oval office on his first day. Churchill was a racist, you see! ( Sheesh!) The Socialist left fear Churchill, his thoughts can result in their undoing.

We have had a plethora of re-definitions like this. I abhor them. The cigars Churchill smoked are cancer agents. Cowboys are broken on Broke Back Mountain. And the rest of us are to shut up?

Eff them one and all.

Join the International Churchill Society, they preserve his true legacy.

I am with you. I desperately hoped this movie would be great, and I like Gary Oldham as an actor. Trump did a lot of things I wholeheartedly agree with, but his rescue of the Churchill Bust was one of the most symbolically significant things he has done as President.

I just looked at my stats which state: "You've posted a total of 110 threads and 51,833 replies."

At least six or seven of those 110 threads I started as a Freeper had to do with the Churchill Bust.

I have always been a huge fan of Churchill, and several years ago I went on a road trip to nowhere and everywhere:

I had one week. My plan (made up as I went) was to drive out to the Four Corners Monument, but as I had dinner in Louisville, KY and planned out, I realized I simply didn't have enough time.

So, I thought "I have never been to Nebraska...I'll go there."

Closed my eyes, put my finger on a map of Nebraska, and chose Humboldt, Nebraska at random. However, the only thing it seemed to be known for was the murder of a transsexual, so I chose again and selected Tecumseh, Nebraska, which had a far more interesting history! (Originally named after the mistress of the General who defeated Tecumseh, and the town people were so incensed by that, they voted to change the name of the town to Tecumseh!

Anyway, I was driving through Missouri (which I came to recognize as an extremely blue state) I saw a sign for the Churchill Museum!

I nearly slammed on my brakes...a Churchill Museum, I never knew there was such a thing in the USA! It was great...where he gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech!
