Winston Churchill Quote

"We must never cease to proclaim in fearless tones the great principles of freedom and the rights of man which are the joint inheritance of the English-speaking world and which through Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus, Trial by Jury, and the English common law, find their most famous expression in the American Declaration of Independence."

We hold this truth to be self evident.  -- Mike, Norwalk      7

The freedom we love and our rights are the inheritance of people who speak English !?!?!?!? AHHH HAAA HAA HAAA !!! Is he NUTS ????  -- Renegade, Lansing,MI      3 4
I like it but I understand Renegade's reaction. I have read that from the Indian or Asian subcontinent point of view and from the colonists point of view the Brits were just about the same as Nazi soldiers in thier brutality. Winston was a bit of an Anglofile but there is something also good about our English heritage. But just don't ask the Irish, Scots or Welsh what they think about it.  -- Waffler, Smith      2 1
Renegade, great point, especially when you consider the freedom points of the here expressed interest are directly derived from their Christian heritage and Hebrew language history (organized through Roman, Greek, etc. historical experiences). The here quote though is specifically drawing on the English speaking people's freedom highlights. Most, if not all, linguistic associated people have had great points of freedom and liberty in their own history. One phenomenal thing about natural law is that it is an absolute. Men of all langues can learn from each and every historical experience, no matter the language, to define liberty's administration, best fitting that society of free individuals.  -- Mike, Norwalk      4
Well, it looks like we HAVE ceased to proclaim in fearless tones that the rights of man are being violated. Habeas Corpus has been suspended in the USA!!! (Meaning that you can be held without charge indefinitely -- i.e. imprison a man and take his property/money without trial or due process.) The Common Law jurisdiction has no courts!! Courts in ALL former/current British Commonwealths are now Commercial/Admiralty-Maritime courts. Trial by Jury has become so corrupted that few defendents even get a trial -- and in trial by jury, if one juror declares 'Not Guilty' then the verdict is supposed to be 'not guilty' -- but now they call that a 'hung jury' or 'mistrial' and try the person again, or remove the 'offending' juror and replace them with someone who declares the defendent 'guilty.' As for the principles espoused in the Declaration of Independence, if you were to read it today, you would think its authors were speaking of today's corrupt government! We've come a long way, baby...  -- E Archer, NYC      8

Archer, you must have got up this morning with your WOW cap on. Very well said in all 3 posts today.  -- Mike, Norwalk      6
He's 100% right. Know your history.  -- Miyah, London      3
I agree with Churchill. The English speaking people delivered the idea of liberty to the modern world. It is our postmodern sensitivity to the natives and primitive people that is essential to the popular process of undoing the achievements of great men, and replacing them with the childish, muddled half-thoughts and non-ideas of the so-called intellectuals.  -- Buddy, thistown      6
We so easily give up these rights fore which our forefathers gave up their lives. Our heads now are deeply implanted in the sand.. We await the awakening! hopefully it will come before our demise.  -- Robert, Somewhere in the USA      2
Robert, don't "await the awakening," wake up! The time is now. Awake, awake, awake! When we make the shift from passenger to driver, the world awakens with us. The shift in consciousness is contagious -- as long as you don't have too much invested in being dependent. That's the one opportunity of a crash -- you have nothing to lose now! End the Blame Game -- I AM RESPONSIBLE!  -- E Archer, NYC      1
Many thanks to the wise statement of Winston Churchill. Kudos to those who so wisely admired his statement and beautifully extended their defense of what Churchill stated --- i.e., Mike, Norwalk, E Archer, NYC, Buddy, thistown, Miyah, London and all others who believe in honoring and protecting our Natural Born, God given) Unalienable Individual Rights and protections.  -- Mary - MI      4
God has nothing to do with your inalienable rights - as archer said, it is us who effects our rights and to do so we must be awake! Archer, you may well be responsible, but there are many who are not, they too are our responsibility. My friends know, I am the last person not to be awake! I have always commented on this subject to the point of tedium, but I press on hoping to make a difference. Most are slaves to the system (the Matrix) and will remain there unless they become conscious of the moment, for in the moment all becomes apparent. Bruce Lee understood the power of the moment!  -- Robert, Somewhere in the USA
Preditors have no principles. They gang up on the human to try to facilitate a misrepresentation of the human and justify the way of the predator. The way of the gangster predator is never justified. Humans are justice to nature.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Sillik, it is amusing to watch you speak out of both sides of your mouth. On one hand, you praise the socialist predators that have NO noble principles (by example, all NEED be equal in earthly possessions); and then, on the other hand, declare socialists and their theocratic dogmas - that of gangster predators that facilitate misrepresentations of the noble being, man. A question for you — is it the single human (with individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty and nature's law) or the multiple cogs of socialism that is/are the nobility of humanity ?  -- Mike, Norwalk
Which is it?  It can't be both ways.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Mike Norwalk this a chicken sh*t strategy to avoid answering my question about you ever meeting a Socialist. I'll try to get your childishness as soon as I'm able to address the kid, you.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Sillik, lolololol — hahahaha. I've had no strategy to avoid your inane request — you are wrong again. Yes, I've met a Socialist. I've met socialists that worshiped after pure Marxism, communistic and fascist desired administrations, those that genuflect to varying degrees of wokeism, independent socialists that think they have the magic bullet for applying socialism because everyone has done it wrong before them and those that call themselves socialists that can't even explain what that is. Again, I will write this real slow so that you may grasp that I have met a socialist before.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Mike Norwalk, you just met maybe some Hollywood actors like yourself. I searched much of the world over this concept. Never found anyone that knew the slightest component of this ideology. Like every other interest in the conventional world, the schemer was trying profit from the ignoramuses.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Mike Norwalk To respond to your question: Socialism is the only ideological direction we have available. There is nothing inherent in this course. Anyone is acceptable who chooses  the road to reasonable and logical life processes. The Socialist is the brave independent and productive result of nature's amazing resilience. It is Socialist who possess the noble character.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Correction: It is the Socialist who possesses the chosen noble path and therefore possesses the noble character.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Sillik, by what definition this week are you classifying "Hollywood actors"?  What concept have you searched the world over? That which you are calling ideology is distinctly different from the well established and defined economic system that is socialism. Your continuing pattern of changing word and concept definitions only depicts an ideology of a mentally ill child's self created / ever changing religion.Your last depiction of socialism was extremely antithetical to "the great principles of freedom and the rights of man".  -- Mike, Norwalk
Sillik, wrong again. As to availability, that which is antithetical to ideologies based on socialism are nature's law manifestations such as the Divine nobility of the being man, individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty. I doubt you will ever find anyone that is capable of harmonizing with your delusions of grandeur and mental illnesses associated with such childish mental dissonance.    -- Mike, Norwalk
Correction: Mike, Norwalk I"ll try to address your childishness as soon as I'm able to address the kid, you.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
