Obama's no Churchill

Reflecting on the celebration in Trafalgar Square on Armistice Day, 1918 at the end of World War I, Winston Churchill wrote:

"Too much blood had been spilt. Too much life-essence had been consumed. The gaps in every home were too wide and empty. The shock of an awakening and the sense of disillusion followed swiftly upon the poor rejoicings with which hundreds of millions salute the achievement of hearts’ desire. There still remained the satisfaction of safety assured, of peace restored, of honour preserved, of the comforts of fruitful industry, of the home-coming of the soldier; but these were in the background; and with them all there mingled the ache for those who would never come home."

Churchill’s suggestion for words on a French war memorial after World War I were :
In War Resolution
In Defeat: Defiance
In Victory: Magnanimity
In Peace: Goodwill

Churchill also wrote, "Short of being actually conquered, there is no evil worse than submitting to wrong and violence for fear of war. Once you take the position of not being in any circumstance to defend your rights against aggression of some particular set of people, there is no end to the demands that will be made or to the humiliations that must be accepted."

Does America today stand behind a great leader with character, compassion and foresight? Or will she after this November’s election? We are on the threshold of actually being conquered by liberal, leftist, politically correct, pacifist, obeisance. The reign of Obama would do nothing to reflect Winston Churchill’s eloquence and leadership, but everything to contradict his philosophy of national exceptionalism.
