...Winston Churchill...an Inspirational Speech
« on: February 07, 2019, 01:15:29 AM »
...Men don't seem to be able to orate like this anymore...it will probably get a lot worse in a few decades...kids just walk around staring at their PDA's.   :(  You even see them sitting together as a group, and they aren't talking...they are EACH just staring at their own I-Phone!   :o 

...I like some of the comments, especially when Lady Astor said to Churchill, "If we were married, I'd put arsnic in your tea".  His response was, "If I was your husband...I would drink it."   :D  He also made a rather rude comment at a dinner to another 'Lady'.  She looked at him, and sniffed, "You are drunk."  His response was, "Yes, I am drunk, but I will be sober in the morning...however...you will still be unattractive."    ::)

...Anyway...here is that inspirational speech.

...I have to add this...He made this speech right after the success of 'Operation Dynamo'...the retrieval of Allied Forces at Dunkirk Beach!  Can you imagine that?  Every civilian with a boat crossed the channel and brought back as many men as they could fit in it!  Such amazing people back then...

If you've not see "Dunkirk", that's what it's about, it was so good.  And i love that speech he gave, Churchill had that unique sense of humor that many forget about.

If any are interested, Hillsdale College has an online course dedicated to Winston Churchill and Statesmanship. I had not taken it, but might have to.
