Winston Churchill on the Nazi threat
In another one of those Blair Government original degenerative acts back in July 2007, the British government has deleted Winston Churchill from the school history syllabus. Since modern Britain can’t refute their greatest Prime Minister, they’ve simply deleted any reference to him.
And why not? I’ve read recently that a sizable portion of the British people already believe that Winston Churchill, that eternal figure with a cigar and square-ish hat, was actually a myth and not the reality of the heroic leader who navigated Britain through the worst conflagration in her long history.
Perhaps Britain has become too educated laud courage and valor and too lazy to hold dear their former glory.
But I, an immigrant to these American shores, am not too blind to see greatness when see it. I am sure many “pacifist” Americans would like to also delete Churchill from memory, since we have no other figure in the English speaking world to pronounce the case for action and national patriotism in a clearer manner than Sir Winston Churchill.
And no, this rot is not because of subversive homosexual, weak-kneed surrender artists as many on the Right would accuse. But perhaps it’s because the course our country’s forefathers took demanded much of them, and they asked so very little of their country.
As many of my fellow countrymen mull over the anxiety of conflict and war in the Middle East and our manifold threats worldwide, they would do well to remember the spirit and the words of this great man.
In this speech, think on our war with Islamofascism and see if his argument against the Nazis could be applied it…

He was an important figure in WWI as well as WWII. He saw the evil of not just Hitler but of Stalin as well before anyone else did.
