@McGentrix,
The Churchillian Drift is quite common nowadays.

@McGentrix,
I know, I said the source was Eban here in a2k many years ago but Churchill's version was a bit wittier and less winded.

@farmerman,
Actually , this is what Aba Eban said in a speech in Japan regarding Israel's position in the world.

“Men and nations behave wisely when they have exhausted all other resources.”

Note that he did NOT specifically highlight America as did Churchill

@farmerman,
I have no beef, but...

Quote:
Historian and top Churchill quotation expert Richard Langworth explored this saying and was unable to find any instances of the phrase in Churchill’s writings or in the memoirs of his colleagues as noted in “Churchill by Himself: The Definitive Collection of Quotations”. Langworth also indicated, however, that he thought the words were compatible with the sentiments that Churchill sometimes felt.


It always just ruffles my feathers a little bit when Americans belittle America. That's all.

@McGentrix,
put yer flag down, youve really gotta be a bit more realistic.

Right now saying that Im an American is embarrassing, what with thi clown in the seat of power.
He doesnt even know when the Civil War occurred .

@farmerman,
He’s losing the plot because he’s lost the argument.

He knows the people he votes for have sided with crooks, racists and environmental criminals to produce a system that only favours billionaires and far right gun nuts.

That’s why he keeps shouting look over there, and saying he’s not racist so why can’t we just forget about Trump’s racism and ineptitude like he has.

It’s quite horrible to watch. He’s tied himself in so many knots he needs another Alexander. Do you suppose this is playing out all over America, Trump supporters going into meltdown as they try to ignore his shitawfulness?

@izzythepush,
Movie gangsters in the 30's and 40's sometimes used 'heaters' as a slang term for guns. But that doesn't have anything to do with Yeates.....oh well. Don't mind me, just some idle musings.

I think it was an alien planet that had got hold of an earth book about prohibition and had modelled its society accordingly.
