We need a civil war to stiffen our sinews and weed out the weak and the treacherous within us, so that, strengthened by the tempering flames of vicious inter-familial conflict, we may turn our attention to the real threat to world peace. The expansionist policies of Fuhrerin Merkel.
I'm not outraged, just increasingly astonished by the way in which the left seems to have abandoned all critical faculties and judgement because someone they don't like has been elected President of the USA.
I'm sorry, but if you can honestly look at that sentence and not see anything wrong with it in terms of taste, verity or basic journalistic standards, I can only conclude that you, too, are afflicted with this condition.
I've been reading a lot about the Wars of the Roses lately. Lord, but that was a mess. Did you know Towton is still the bloodiest battle ever fought on British soil? Possibly as many as 28,000 dead. And the whole thing dragged on for 30 years, slaughtering most of the English nobility along the way. Such was the slaughter that by the end, Henry Tudor (whose claim would normally have been absurdly weak) ended up king simply by virtue of being the last man left standing with any claim at all.
Bring. It. On.
The more dead, the better. Let only the strong of will and the pure of spirit prevail. We have God and Right with us, b, and, even if we fall on the Field of Glory, our names shall live forever in the hearts of believers everywhere and our example shall give courage to those who continue the struggle.
For God! For England! For decent Claret!
