Churchill’s view was not that uncommon for the time period. It is sometimes weird, for a lack of a better term, when you read the biographies of the world leaders of the time, like Churchill, DeGaulle, etc, who viewed the US as a country of the Left. This view of our country from Western Europe persists right up to the Nixon administration. The Conservative orientation of the United States was only true in the later quarter of the twentieth century. For example, in France, the United States felt more comfortable with the Socialists in charge than the more conservative Gaullists. Mitterand and Mendes France were always welcome in Washington than DeGaulle. DeGaulle believed, I know he was paranoid, the US and the Franch Left were in cohoots.
Thereafter his closest advisors were increasingly drawn from the ranks of the far Left. Only later did we learn that many of them were actually Soviet agents!
It is hard for many to believe that the hard-core Left took over DC in the 1930's and that today, their actual descendants are still there, still in government agencies, and still have enormous power over the life of every American. The Left has created a true ruling caste.
If one were to poll the DC staffs of Republican representatives today, you would quickly find that they are well to the left of most Americans and have no qualms about sabotaging Republican efforts at reform, such as they are.
Interesting.
