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!--

Trying to deal with liberal pond scum while in the midst of a war
likely contributed to his problem.

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.

Reversing forty years of liberal failure?

Well you've failed your Constitutional knowledge inquiry.

Of course civil rights don't me squat to a good 'ol white boy, well

until
his home and property have been seized without due process. I'm sure

you'll
never have to worry about that though.

Op --no one cries like a conservative who's rights have been

violated.--


Not as long as Americans keep ignoring leftwing whiners.

The Constitution would work just fine if it weren't for a bunch of
tofu sucking Liberals trying to "redefine" it every other week.

You might want to check and see what good 'ol Ronnie Reagan did and

what
your buddy Georgie Jr is doin' to it.

Op --death to the fascists--

Let's adopt the following two amendments to the U.S. Constitution:

"The Congress shall have the power to declare war, and this time we
really do mean it."

"No person shall be denied life, liberty, or
property without due process of law, and this time we really do mean
it."

Don't diss haggis. It's a pate' that can be delicious. Okay, maybe
it should go as a terraine instead of a pate'. My most memorable
haggis was one guaranteed to be bad. It was made by a Scot who was a
SF fan (and who wrote overblown poetry) and served at an SF convention
(think Clave with much stranger clothing and lots of teenagers). I
loved it. I'm a very picky eater. I think the list of ingredients is
what turns most people off.

However, I'll agree with you on tofu. When it was just beginning to
be hyped, I bought a 1 pound tray. I did not try several ways of
cooking it. One tiny taste of the uncooked, one large bite of the
sauteed and it went to the trash. My family got to see it, but I
refused to inflict it on them. I went back to the 'frig and got out
a new dinner menu. My only disagreement would be on the colour. I
thought it looked the way an albino with jaundice would.

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.

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.

LOL. All I can assume is that it's some bizarre kind of cyber staring
match.
