Quotable Quote

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” — Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945

(And as it turned out, England wasn’t listening. Are we?)

Beer

"Malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man." -- T.S. Eliot

Before you buy the whispered slander and  crucify Brett Kavanaugh for his beer drinking ... please recall that Babe Ruth also loved his beer to excess ... and that Winston Churchill was a high-functioning daily tippler of cognac.

Tommy Robinson

The English people can be stalwart and noble knights (like during World War II) ... and they can be knock-kneed knaves (like when they turned away from Churchill and toward Socialism after the war). I suppose this Jekyll and Hyde national personality flaw is what inspired our founders to cut the cord to this then power ... otherwise we may be wallowing in an even-deeper swamp than we mow find ourselves.

The current head-scratchier from Britain involves Muslim rape gangs, a resister to this mayhem, Tommy Robinson (a pseudonym), and his attempt to mobilize his countrymen against this degenerative behavior. There is a growing outrage over how the English judicial system is manhandling this patriotic protester ... now labeled from the "far right" (shades of our Charlottesvile reporting.)

In order to fill yourself in on the details of this case, see: Powerline Comments.

And to appreciate the push back that is beginning to develop, see:  Diplomad's Comments who can be  rough on Muslims and their apologists ...which, in this case, seems justified.

Note that, since this reporting, the outrageous press gag order has been lifted.
