| #5 On February 9th, 1933, the ruling elite of the world’s great Civilization held a debate in the Oxford Union. With thunderclouds growing dark across the English Channel, at a time when resolute action could still have averted the worst catastrophe the world has ever known, these elites resolved that “This House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country.” I guess these disinterested liberal elites thought it was preferable to live under the boot of a tyrant than to live as free men and women. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke |

| #4 Whittle is someone Winston Churchill would approve of. All I can say about his article is that I'm ready to vote, work and, if necessary fight to insure that the values he espouses are not lost through the corruption of the elites in this country. The good people of this country have been through tougher times than this and survived them. We'll get through this too. |

| #2 But it is certainly so today. And standing against all this hypnotic power — the power of the mythmakers in Hollywood, the power of the information peddlers in the media, the corrosive power of America-hating professors on every campus in America… against all that we find an old warrior — a paladin if ever there was one — an old, beat-up warhorse standing up in defense of his city one last time. And beside him: a wonder. A common person… just a regular mom who goes to work, does a difficult job with intelligence and energy and grace and every-day competence and then puts it away to go home and have dinner with the family. Against all of that stand these two. |
