Revisionist History in the U.K.

Gordon Brown visited Washington this week, the first European leader to call on President Obama. We got a good chuckle from this visit and the President's expense when he demonstrated, once again, just how amateurish his Presidency is.

On a more serious note, however, the Brown visit also signaled a bit of revisionist history that has angered some over in the motherland. In his address before Congress, Brown announced that the Queen has bestowed upon Senator Kennedy an honorary knighthood, citing peace in Northern Ireland. While peace in Northern Ireland today is only a matter of relative truth, I am sure that the Brits should not be so quick to give any credit for any of it to Ted Kennedy.

To a liberal, peace means surrender. DemonRATs achieved peace in Vietnam and Cambodia. The 10 million or so that were brutally executed after we withdrew will testify to that.
The liberals plan worked so well there that they roll it out whenever it suits them, which by mere coincidence always happens to be when a Republican is in the White House.
Giving Kennedy an honorary knighthood ranks right up there with giving Yassir Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize.
