Dan, until recently (when I watched a PBS show about Churchill) I did not know how his countrymen had done him in his later years. A true shame after all he did to save their bacon.

 

I understand perfectly, Stan. I see all those 20 million dollar per film Hollywood libs standing up for the rights of the homeless. Haven't seen one invite one to live with them, have you?

 

I think the Brits saw Churchill as a wartime leader and once that was over they had no need for someone who like him. Like a wartime consigliere in the mafia.

 

Can I tell you the truth - ?
Christmas 2015. This year we celebrate at Sis's (big) house, Minneapolis.
60 yr old bachelor cousin - odd duck- looks like Dusty from ZZ Top. Hell, I get a kick out of his "uniqueness". Been coming to Christmas with us since 1951 or so. Like I said, he's "odd" but harmless. All his family gone.
For the first time since before I was born in '59 - he does not get a Christmas invite because....I suppose....doesn't fit the mold.
A damn shame.....and so egregious I even felt guilty by association.

 

Like most liberals, Stan, they're only liberal when it suits their purpose.

 

Interesting analogy and it makes sense, Marcus.

 

I could go on but we run the risk of being shunted to the POD ! Ha
I was a liberal once.........because "she" was hot........and "she" was a liberal. Worked that time........

 

When in Rome, do as the Romans!

 

Be a gladiator???

 

Somehow I knew you would understand. I even gave myself a pass that time.
Wonder if she would have insisted I "turn" if we had married...????..the kids you know.
Ahhhhhhhh great memories.
