Sorry, that should read “I’ve GOT an Englishman”, not “not”. Apologies for not using the checker like I should.
When it comes to flying, I long ago decided that if I’m on a plane that is taken over by Jihadis, and my destiny is to die going down with the plane, so long as I take at least one of those SOB’s out with me, my life will have been worthwhile and I can die in peace.
I plan on two extra and a go beg with another 5 that is not going to leave my immediate control. Ran out of ammo once in a gunfight. Don’t want that to ever happen again.
The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a past master. Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late19th and 20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt.
He was a prophet in his own time. He died on 24th January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and, after a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a State funeral. HERE is the SPEECH:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome." - Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages 248-250 London).
Europe is being invaded. They better get it together, and fast.
Goes without saying we in the USA have a lot of work to do. No more Muslim invasion!
A truly brilliant man. I recall reading a biography about him a number of years ago and was impressed with his ability to persevere in the harshest most difficult conditions.

I’ve always said that when someone tells you they’re going to DO something to you - over and over and over again... you should believe them.
Naiveté kills. So does willful ignorance. History proves it.
And lived to tell the tale...
Is that what he donald thinks of Pamel Geller?
maybe he was “speaking as an entertainer” that time too?.../s
That’s what he said. People have this idea of what Trump is, but if people will listen, he’s telling them what he actually is.
Thank goodness and a few buddies. It was a close call.
I did not know that. It seems weird to me. It would be, to me, as if some city wants to suck up to Christians so they hold an Easter celebration in August. Thanks for the clarification.
Is it time to play cowboys and
Muzziez yet?
I don’t know. I don’t want to get scalped or worse.
