Kavanaugh said that such questions are "a trap." That is like a physician saying that asking if he believes in the circulation of the blood is a trap.LOL! One cannot really take Kavanaugh seriously, but he provides a great opportunity to educate others about unbelief and all of its subtle manifestations.

I recall when he mentioned that Austrians spoke "Austrian." I also recall that when the Republicans met with him to discuss healthcare reform, he said "I Won" and broke off talks. Quite the compromiser. I also remember such endearing, benign comments such as referring to Republicans as the "enemy" (although he refrained from referring to Islamic terrorists in such terms), and that you need to "bring a gun to a fight, if they bring a knife," and you need to "get in the opposition's faces." He's also a sneak. I forgot that. Hours before Trump took office he authorized transferring $200 million to the Palestinians. You live in fairy land.

From tactical mistakes like allowing uncontrolled immigration and joining the Common Market, to symbolic mistakes like decimalizing the coinage and mobilizing the police, Britain since 1965 has followed a path of national--in the philosophical sense of the word--decline.

The Allies destroyed Caen, killing many French civilians, which was not justified either strategically or tactically.<br /><br />After the war we executed Germans and Japanese for 'war crimes' which we ourselves were equally guilty of - but that is 'victors' justice'<br /><br />I'm glad that Trump has returned Churchill's bust to the Oval Office. WSC had great flaws, but he realized in 1941 that no deal with Hitler was possible since his promises were worthless. In December that year Pearl Harbor was attacked. On hearing the news WSC claimed that he went to bed content for the first time in the war.<br /><br />Victory in WW2 bankrupted Britain and ushered in the Pax Americana. It has been enormously successful in seeing off Soviet communism but challenges remain and it is up to us to support the only remaining Superpower by making a military contribution which reflects national economies. Trump is exactly right on that.<br /><br />Meanwhile, how have we survived over 70 years without a nuclear war? The answer must surely be 'God bless America'. The USA is undoubtedly England's greatest legacy to civilization, along with Shakespeare. <br /><br />John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.com
