Sir Winston Churchill Quote

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

I think this shold be shoved down the throat of every leftist POS supporting jihaad until they relent or choke on it.

this should be given to blair and bush, to remind them of the pitiful state that they have caused in Iraq. Before they drew their attentions to Iran

If we told this to the muslims and carried it out, we could have victory immediately.

    In the war against Islamic fascist terror the easy, sure, inexpensive victory could have been had as recently as the mid 1980s. Thank God that Misters Bush and Blair realize we are quickly approaching that "precarious" time. Pray that their successors don't wait for some more propitious wind to blow, but finish the job.

    I'm less worried about the manufactured terrorist threat than I am about the covert UN / Banker threat to our liberties. Churchill is right on every level though.

    Speaking of dumb, read the Anonymous fourth from the top.

    The Christian Church should pay heed to this before it is too late. Which will be very soon!!

    With the occupying statist theocracy being so intrenched in such large numbers of individuals (by way of example: obedient patrons of god/government compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, social security, police state confiscations, non-recognition of perfected allodium/ownership, etc.), denial of inalienable rights, liberty and natural law and promotion of socialism (communism to fascism, progressives to neocons, etc.) I currently believe it is beyond an easy win without bloodshed.
