Source is irrelevant when dealing with facts, as you may recall from evidentiary principles 101.

Actually, the burden of proof is on the person advancing the arguments as truth.

In the thread-head article, points made by McKinley generally comport with the Republican Party platform of 1900; thus, I think that the quotes from McK are likely accurate.

I don't know about the situation in England, but there's no question that they did lose 'the Empire on which the sun never sets' for SOME reason, and the article is persuasive, if not convincing. Losing an entire Empire takes more than just economic incompetence...

So far as I am concerned, the McK quotes will stand unless you or M1968 (whoever) demonstrates that they are false or cut/paste doctored.
