Churchill said it best.....

[Bubblehead1980]

In War: Resolution.

In Defeat: Defiance.

In Victory: Magnanimity.

In Peace: Goodwill.

America sure could use him now

America sure could use him now

What use is a drunken arse to America?
Churchill, the man who came to power after another one of his many balls ups brought down the government.

Bubblehead - the only problem is even Churchill would likely struggle to figure out whether we are at peace - or nearing war - with our own government....

Easy to see we are nearing war...not armed uprising or anything, but a war indeed for the future of the US from Obamunism and othe progressive dangers.

Churchill had a brain AND guts and saved the Brits, America could use him now because he would get the RIGHT things done and save this country.Hell Brits could use him again, maybe tackle the nasty muslim problem you guys have

Not an arse, sure he liked his booze, so what, still the best Brit leader

Can you name a few other Brit leaders and their achievements and failings as a measure?
But perhaps given this....

You guys were lucky to have had him

...it might suggest that your knowledge of politics and history match your knowledge of geography

Hell Brits could use him again, maybe tackle the nasty muslim problem you guys have

I fail to see what was wrong with Churchill's leadership, apart from his sometimes poor ideas for grand strategy. Surely it can't be worse than Chamberlain's, whose appeasement policy miserably failed at preventing the war, right?

Oh tribesman, my knowledge of politics and history is pretty broad I assure you, although I know more about US then the UK, I know quite a bit .So hmm other Brit leaders....Atlee, Thatcher, Blair, Brown, Chamberlain, Macmillian, Eden, Walpole etc etc They are the ones I know off the top of my head. Walpole was the first and not regarded well from what I've read.Churchill lead Brits during the war and took the fight to Hitler because Chamberlain was a scumbag appeaser,.Atlee implemented the NHS etc .Eden was PM during Suez Crisis, did not do too well.This should suffice for now.I know geography fairly well also, not sure why you question that.I have not read too many posts by skybird.I have talked to Brits in person and read countless reports about the muslim problem in UK.

Back my original post though, I know Churchill was a Brit leader obviously but having studied him for a long time and authored several papers about him when I was in college, I know a lot about the man.I was simply saying the US could use him or someone like him right now.A leader with the correct ideas and the balls to push them, not the jackass we have right now who seems intent on running this nation into the ground via debt and other policies.

We could all use a little more Churchill.

Ronnie Reagan is probably my favourite US President, his sense of humour and his way of putting words made him stand out, and I know he would have frowned upon the direction that the US government is taking right now, he would certainly frown upon further government involvement within the free market, I do myself, but I don't quite understand the big deal about the Health Care Bill, aside from the desperate measures the government seems to have been considering to get it through, perhaps this is because I come from a nation where free health care is a right, not a privilege or perhaps it is because I do not have a full grasp of how the US system runs. If anyone wishes to enlighten me with calm and level headed facts without dragging this thread into a flame war, then I would be grateful.
