Some years ago, I was in the office of a straitlaced, middle-aged lady who was in charge of my law firm’s support staff. I noticed a photograph on her desk of herself with a long-haired guy who looked like a rock musician. It seemed incongruous, so I asked about the picture, and she told me this story.

Some people just live to wail "blog pimp!" If the info or opinion is interesting and enlightening, who gives a rusty rat's patoot if it comes from a blog and heaven forbid, I should visit that blog?

One time I was on a thread that was really getting interesting when some self-righteous self-appointed Blog Pimp Monitor hijacked the discussion and almost ruined it by screaming about "blog pimping!!!"

I asked straight-out, "Why do you care? -- because I sure as hell don't."

All he/she could do was sputter. The truth is the only reason they have is about the same reason that little Judy Hensler was always tattle-tailing to Miss Landers (the teacher) on Leave it to Beaver.

Truman had the similar problems with his (FDR’s) cabinet.

Why not post the whole thing?

Because there's no need to risk infringing copyright and it's perfectly okay if people visit the blog?

“I think anti-Semitism in Britain is a holdover from the religious wars of the Middle Ages”.

You think too much.

It’s liberalism and leftism infecting all aspects of their society.

tl;dr: Roger Waters criticized Bon Jovi for a planned concert in Israel. Bon Jovi went anyway and John explicitly stated his admiration for Israel during the concert.

Churchill understood that without a homeland of their own, the Jewish people would never have peace. He also understood that promised a homeland of their own that the Jewish people would serve as a throttle to Arab aggression upon Britain’s departure from Egypt and region. Like Churchill and the rest of the folks in the British govt, Churchill was a died in the wool colonialist, he was just more prescient than the rest, who were indeed largely antisemitic. Just my $.02...

Churchill definitely was a supporter of the British Empire and didn’t want to see it dissolved. But he did back full rights for the citizens of those countries. He wasn’t right on everything, but he was right on most things. He also backed home rule for Ireland.

Thanks Berlin_Freeper. I'm getting impatient with the whole waiting for Roger Waters to drop dead thing.
