Happy Birthday, Winston!

November 30, 2006 Posted by John at 7:30 PM

Winston Churchill was born 132 years ago today. Blog of the Week Gay Patriot has an appreciation.

Which reminds me that I must have missed the Claremont Institute's annual Churchill Dinner this year. Probably because I wasn't invited...

Our situation is a little different from the one Churchill faced in the 1930s. Rather than being a voice in the wilderness, our Churchill is actually President. But taking a firm stand against the great evil of our time has made President Bush as unpopular as Churchill was before Munich. And who knows? Bush may yet preside over a Munich of his own. But I doubt it.
