Winston Churchill couldn’t stop the madness. For a time it affected him, too.
1936 was the last chance to avoid World War II–and Britain’s leaders let it pass. From then on, everything they did was another step closer to disaster.
Will we ever learn? Feckless politicians, daft policies–that combination is never going to turn out right.
How long are we going to get away with it? Britain had not quite four years till the storm broke over their heads. How much time do we have?
Winston Churchill knew: government gets addicted to “emergency measures.”
How dare we fight among ourselves, when God has endowed us with such a multitude of enemies, eager to swallow our freedom, our wealth, and our blood?
Like for instance:
Yeah! Let’s tell the kiddies that the North Pole’s gonna melt and Santa Clause and all his elves are gonna drown–no more Christmas!–unless The Government is given unlimited powers To Save The Freakin’ Planet.
Who’s going to save us from them? From liars who stoop to scaring children.
Winston Churchill was right: government so easily gets addicted to “emergency measures.”
Evil, evil, evil…
Britons should get down on their hands and knees and thank God for Winston Churchill; but of course they don’t. He’s from the past, and everything that existed before today’s Social Justice Warriors came along is evil and worthless.
Well, you can’t have Far Left Stupid unless you’ve got plenty of ingratitude and ignorance to go with it, can you?
Without Winston Churchill, Britain does not survive World War II. Hitler and the Nazis win.
God defend us from wicked idiots.
Now they’ve got him on a postage stamp–for saving women’s lives. But back then… they beat him to death for bucking the establishment.
Establishments don’t like to be shown up for less than omniscient, and they get really, really mad at anyone who dares to do it.
Our political establishment has joined with our “scientific” establishment in a secularist jihad to wipe out “misinformation.” Question: What do you get when you mix science and politics? Answer: More damned politics!
Our only hope, short of God’s personal intervention, is a total wipeout of Democrats in next week’s elections.
No one lives without faith. It’s just a matter of what you put your faith in.
Atheists like to say they put their faith in “reason.” By “reason” they usually mean Democrat talking points mindlessly repeated. But more broadly, it’s faith in things that they themselves have created. Which makes them, in their own eyes, gods.
Faith in… Science. In “progress.” In the Party. In the inherent goodness of man (that’s a knee-slapper!).
Tell me how “reason” produced the transgender movement.
Imagine a world without Winston Churchill. The very best we could hope for would be an America surrounded on all sides by hostile dictatorships. There’s no way Britain would have survived.
Of course, we’re so busy now tearing down statues and erasing our history, there are college graduates who never heard of Churchill, are only just barely cognizant that World War II ever happened, have no idea what it was about, and take the blessings of liberty for granted.
Which is how you lose them.
In the midst of World War II, Winston Churchill said he dreaded the war lasting too long, lest the government grow addicted to “emergency measures” that let them do anything they want.
Sound familiar?
Terrifying little children with Climbit Chains fairy tales is the least of their offenses.
You’ll find a rather lively discussion attached to this post. Once again we find leftids and global government wackos scarfing up our freedoms, not letting a good crisis go to waste, eating our republic and spitting out dictatorship.
They need to be stopped.
Dorothy L. Sayers, best known as one of the best mystery novelists of all time, was at one time in her career called upon to defend Christian writers in Britain in particular, and Christianity in general, from blistering attacks by atheists. Yes, they were doing it back then, too–in the 1950s. You know: after God raised up Winston Churchill to deliver Britain from an enemy that was stronger than she. But they proved no more thankful to Churchill than they were to God.
In 1953 one Kathleen Nott published a book critical of Sayers and other Christian writers. How did Sayers answer it? Like so:
“No one can say that ‘the Church’ as a whole has ever stood for truth and… charity.
“Well, the church does in fact lay a good deal of stress, not only [on] truth, but on love and charity… But it is no use talking as though love and charity were easy. You cannot buy them in the market and slap them on a situation like plasters [band-aids]. If Miss Nott were here now, she and I could establish the Kingdom of Heaven between ourselves immediately–that is, we could if we could. It is quite simple: she has only to love me as well as she loves herself, and I have only to love her as well as I love myself, and there is the Kingdom. It is as simple as that–but would it be easy? Acknowledging myself to be worm-eaten with original sin, I acknowledge that I might find it difficult; and although Miss Nott is presumably without sin (since she does not admit the existence of sinfulness), it is conceivable that for one reason or another she also might encounter a little difficulty. Yet it would be useless for her to protest that one cannot love an unlovable object, since charity is precisely a readiness to love the unlovable. That is the trouble with the Christian graces–that without Grace they are impossible.”
[From Dorothy and Jack, by Gina Dalfonzo, Baker Books, 2020–a wonderful book about the friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis]
Works of the flesh are relatively easy. Works of the spirit are hard. But we have a God whose own Spirit works in us that grace may abound. Works of the flesh do not build the Kingdom of Heaven, but works of the spirit do.
President Trump gave this speech to the Class of 2017. Three years later, it’s even more to the point, more relevant, more inspiring. He sounds like Winston Churchill!
“Never give up, never give in”–can you give me an “Amen”?
Imagine a world in which Winston Churchill died in 1931.
Without Churchill, the Third Reich conquers all of Europe. The United States, if we survive at all, endures a state of perpetual siege–unless our own leaders, as so many of Britain’s were willing to do, enter into some kind of “understanding” with the Nazis.
Liberty is fragile. It’s at odds with Original Sin. Only by God’s providence do we have it; only by His providence do we keep it. There’s always someone lusting to take it away from us.
Remember that freedom is the gift of God, and no one has the right to take it from us.
