Well, no not personally anyway. However, I do read a bit and have seen
several documentaries that have noted his penchant for alcohol.

Op --****! I too could be a genius!--

Could be, but Bill Clinton was more inventive with cigars.

Good advice. Take it.
How did you manage to read "The Art of War" ?
You must have gotten a Conservative to read the big words for you.

"Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.
Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains. -
Winston Churchill"

Sir Winston was a genius.

He must have been a plagiarist, too -- or maybe you're just a moron and
Churchill is innocent:

Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at
thirty is proof of want of head. -Francois Guisot (1787-1874)

[BTW, "republican" meant something quite different in those days. It
meant more-or-less what you mean by "liberal" -- someone supporting
independence, democracy, and human rights, and opposing monarchy.]

Also:

Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at
thirty is proof of want of head. -Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929)

Proof that it took a man like Churchill to get it right.

Churchill was very quotable, but he obviously stole that one. Here are
some ORIGINAL Chruchill quotes that are more apropos of current events:

There are a lot of lies going around... and half of them are true.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a
bodyguard of lies.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get
its pants on.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

Truth is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it,
malice may destroy it, but there it is.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick
themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened.

Awe, see, there's your problem. One often ascribes his or her own failings
and frailties to others, because others can't possibly be, in your mind,
better than you. Try http://www.nifl.gov/
By the way, defending the Constitution is not a done by affiliation to a
single party. It is done by folks on both sides. Without liberals and
conservatives, there are no checks and balances, we have no middle, we have
one party rule. I spent too big a part of my life ensuring that doesn't
happen. Learn to live with the concept that people across the spectrum made
the Constitution and, through the history of democracy, have added to it to
make it what it is today.

What you say is true, however, when I see a small segment of the
population, notably liberals, willing to cede the sovereignty of the
US, I must oppose them.

What you say is true, however, when I see a small segment of the
population, notably liberals, willing to cede the sovereignty of the
US, I must oppose them.

If true, i.e. the liberals are part of what makes this country great, then
this leads me to believe you don't like that dualism formed by the
conjunction of the two, as you continually denigrate it. By extension, you
don't like the rule of law, formed by that dualism. That rule of law is
based upon the Constitution. Why do you hate America so much?
Secondly, who is willing to cede our sovereignty and how? Could it be
bowing to international pressure on steel prices (George Jr.)? Having NATO
troops stationed on US soil (Ronny)? Using the United Nations to bolster
our own forces (including Russian ships to haul our troops)(George Sr.)?
Face it, its an international world. Oh, and by the way, the Democratic
party (those pesky liberals) are not a small segment, but close to 50% of
the voting population.
