The US has a history of wiping its feet all over us. Why are we desperate to be Donald's doormat?
UK Mail on Sunday ^ | January 28, 2018 | Peter Hitchens

Posted on 01/28/2018 6:45:47 AM PST by Mr Ramsbotham

Why does the Prime Minister think it does her good to be seen with that global embarrassment, Donald Trump? Why do politicians and media commentators in Britain prattle about how the ‘Special Relationship’ between Britain and the USA is still flourishing?

I found these remarks by Peter Hitchens to be quite interesting, in light of the fact that Hitchens is often looked upon as a conservative voice in world affairs. In fact, he's anything but conservative, even in the broad sense of the term. The archives of his Mail on Sunday column make for interesting reading.

Heh, the UK had better look to it’s third world problem lest it become Britainistan.

They need only look to the words of Churchill about Islam.

Of course, thanks to their corrupt (just as ours are) politicians, those Churchill words are not allowed be expressed in public.

I wish Christopher Hitchens was around to kick his little brother's ass like he did back in the day.

Old Peter sure got sassy since his brother died.

For a good time, go watch youtube videos of Christopher vs. Peter debates. That's what Peter should be embarrassed by.

Yeah, we’ve wiped our feet all over them. Saved their butts in WWII, and numerous times before and since.

Strange he does not complain about Muslim prayer rugs carpeting London instead of the American values that won him his freedom in World War II.

Well his new masters will solve his freedom problem for him I guess.

Between WWI and WWII, the British would be speaking German if it were not for the USA.

Amazing how so many top box office films are addressing this right now..

No, the UK would rather be the EU’s *itch, rather than our partner and ally.

Note to the UK: If your government had a hand in the dirty dossier, and that info becomes public knowledge, God help you.

Saved their tails in two World Wars; the first made absolutely no sense, whatever, for the US to join, and was the direct incubator for the Second, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini. I admit they were lied into the Second Iraq War, courtesy of Tony Blair, but so were we, courtesy of the dimwit GW Bush.

I think that's at least half of his problem, always being eclipsed by big brother. He wants desperately to shine in his own light, which is why, I think, he takes such contrarian positions on everything.

He's very queer, but he's not a queer, if you follow my drift.

“global embarrassment”

That is called group think.

Something that is not true shared as fact among group members who put the importance of group inclusion above the truth.

Mr. Hitchens remembers how smart he was as a teenage boy about Vietnam but skipped History class and didn’t get the memo since about the Nazi’s bombing London or the Nazi’s running the Brits off the mainland at Dunkirk. Great Britain is no longer “Great” and is a failed State with it’s largest city controlled by Muslims. Hitchens should write an article on that FACT.................but, alas, Liberals don’t do FACTS. Someone once called them “Inconvenient Truths”. The Bible says “to thine own self be true”. I recommend Liberal Hitchens try a little dose of that.

Especially WWI, the Brits complained that the U-Boats were sinking their ships, while Britain was enforcing a Naval blockade on Germany. It was much easier to cut-off Germany from ships than Britain, the U-Boats were just trying to level the playing field.

And the fact is, if the US was truly neutral, they would have told the Brits they wouldn’t get anything from us, unless they ended their blockade of Germany.

Ah yes, but if you follow Hitchens, that was only for our own self-interest, because "we" wanted to weaken Britain, and look what actually happened ... in the event, Britain was weakened, and has never been the same. No mention of galloping Socialism, crippling taxation, the nationalization of healthcare and industry, and other self-inflicted woes, of course.

"Wilson was a fairly nasty piece of work who made a terrible mess of Europe and pretty much caused the Second World War."

True, Peter.

"But he spoke the truth."

No, Peter, he gave his opinion, and just remember what a nasty piece of work he was.

He was a Democrat, the Party of nasty pieces of work, e.g. slavery, the ku klux klan, Jim Crow laws, segregation, corruption, voter fraud, a political party that championed slavery and has never changed its morality, which made Robert Byrd, former Grand Dragon (or whatever they call it) of the ku klux klan, Majority Leader of the US Senate in the 21st century, and whose most recent President removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office.

Wake up to reality, Peter.
