Furthermore, I admit, I am not a particular fan of this sculpture style, but it is the symbolism that is important here.
Churchill once said: "You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."
Truer words were never spoken. Let's make more enemies, and start by bringing back the sculpture of that most important and honorable of men, making enemies of the people who went to such lengths to disparage his meaning and memory.
Trump should ask for the bust of Churhhill to be returned to America.
The bust should be among his first moves after taking office.
Reaching out to PM Theresa May, to graciously welcome a return of the Jacob Epstein bust of Winston Churchill to it’s place of honor in the White House, will I’m sure be on the agenda for the first 100 days.
A few other symbolic gestures:
CNN, and Washington Post, MSNBC, and a couple of others are barred from access to the white house. CNN will no longer play in any federal facility. Too far gone. Irredemable. Megyn - nice knowing you.
Comey resign! Just go. You soiled your self.
I was thinking the same thing.
I think one of President Trump’s first official actions should be respectfully requesting that the people of the U.K. return that bust to its rightful place in the Whitehouse.
YES!!!
YUP. Undo everything that was done, and then some. And let the Clinton and Foundation crime investigations lead wherever they go, to Obama himself if they go there.
He should send the letter now. It should be carried with his inauguration party and installed in the WH upon his arrival there after the inauguration.
Everything from the word "gay" and the rainbow, to the word "liberal" itself, which used to have quite a different political meaning.
Hm. Who else in the world (besides liberals) shares this perverted philosophy about destroying symbols of their opponents? Let me think...
I like the way you put that...:)
I’m an art school grad and studied semiotics. There’s way more going on in music, art and design than most conservatives would ever believe.
YES! Bring back Winnie! Nothing would get the Brits “on side” quicker and be more popular than this simple act. It sticks it to Obozo big time.
Do it now
And Nigel Farage is just the guy who should do it at their first meeting in the White House.
I think I’m going to use that Churchill quote as my tag-line.
(If you aren't familiar with Bill Whittle-the guy is brilliant in presenting his views)
As I was driving through Missouri (of all places) I saw a sign for...the Winston Churchill Museum! (It was where he gave his famous "Iron Curtin" speech) I have always regarded Winston Churchill as one of the most important and significant figures of the 20th century, so...I pulled right off the highway and followed the signs to Fulton, Missouri.
I loved it. They had a great museum store, and I bought a book of Churchill quotes!
Based on your map you probably passed within 25 miles of my house. If you’re going to be visiting Virginia again any time soon let me know and maybe we can get together. Bourbon and cigars will be on me.
You bet! I made a bunch of trips down that way (I was born in Norfolk, lived in VA and MD for a few years) and spent a lot of time and became good friends with a lot of the DC Chapter of FR...they just sent me an invite to their Christmas Party, but I can’t go...darn it.
So, yes...I look forward to meeting any Freeper in person, because I haven’t been disappointed!
