If “fighting” means gleefully taking it in the ass from the Stalinist rodent party, then yes.

Harry Byrd, Sr. was my boyhood model for all that a U.S. Senator should be. Because he was pretty clearly the most Conservative Senator from the 1930s until he left the Senate in the mid 1960s, i considered myself a Harry Byrd Democrat, until I joined the Republican Party to support Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Here is my review of a biography of Harry Byrd, which I posted on the internet 20 years ago:

Harry Byrd of Virginia.

Harry Sr. was succeeded by his son, Harry Byrd, Jr. who I believe liked my review better--a lot better--than the book reviewed.

On the subject of Churchll? He was certainly a great man, but basically a patriotic "Liberal," as was Joseph Chamberlain in the pre-World War I era.

Churchill speech attacking the government of Britain for failing to establish a firm policy of rearmament in the face of Hitler’s massive military expansion:

So they go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent. So we go on preparing more months and years - precious, perhaps vital to the greatness of Britain - for the locusts to eat.

November, 1936. The man’s speeches and writings in the 1930’s read like a book of prophecy.
