Richard L. Kent, Esq., One Old Silverback Who Likes Bats Much Better than Bureaucrats
'The greatest evil is not now done... even in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered ... in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.’ - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
There has gbeen a revisionist strain (think Pat Buchanan) which claims that Churchill has been overrated - I strongly disagree. Admittedly Churchill was a lousy military strategist but I agree he was one of the greeatest Englishmen of all time and he must be turning over in his grave as he views what Britian has turned into.
Well, you know what they say about o'l Pat. He's touchy about WWII because he lost a relative in the Holocaust.
His uncle fell out of a guard tower. (ba DUM bump.)
But seriously, folks. Here is a man, Pitchfork Pat, who claims beyond all reason that the Germans were 'forced' into WW2 by attempts by the Allies at encirclement.
This makes as much sense as a bank robber arguing that he had to shoot the guy from the SWAT team because he, the robber, could not have made a getaway otherwise.
Some theories call for abject contempt rather than argument. Pat's is one.
