March 5, 1946 | Winston Churchill Warns of Soviet “Iron Curtain”
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous “Iron Curtain” speech, officially titled “Sinews of Peace,” at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. After being introduced by President Harry Truman, Churchill, the former prime minister of Britain and now the opposition leader, warned of the threat posed by the Soviet Union, a World War II ally of Britain and the United States. The New York Times reported that “Mr. Churchill painted a dark picture of post-war Europe, on which ‘an iron curtain has descended across the Continent’ from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic.” “He strongly intimated...

Gingrich Looking Churchillian
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
Leadership: A great debater. Politically polarizing. Prone to error, but also prone to spectacular success. Steeped in history. Politically brilliant. Unorthodox. Audacious. All these qualities were once used to describe Winston Churchill. Today, you might use the same words to describe Newt Gingrich. Sound absurd? Not when you think about it. Churchill, like Gingrich, was a brilliant politician with a powerful sense of the occasion. Sometimes prickly, often witty, but never dull, his career had lots of ups and downs — ranging from being blamed for the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in World War I to being credited as the father...

Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
There is a great World War Two documentary, that was made in 2005, that shows the diplomatic disputes between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, as they planned their military campaigns against Hitler.

Obama Says Americans “Will Do The Right Thing” And Reelect Him, Quotes Winston Churchill…
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
Same guy who had Churchill’s bust removed from Oval Office. Via Beltway Confidential: President Obama, speaking at a million-dollar fundraiser yesterday, told supporters that he believes Americans “will do the right thing” by supporting his reelection bid and second term agenda. “I think it was Churchill who said that the Americans always end up doing the right thing after they’ve tried every other alternative,” Obama said, to laughter, after summarizing the policies discussed in his State of the Union speech. “And that’s true.

Churchill Belonged There: Can the GOP Save the Alliance?
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
As the GOP field thins out during primary season, British conservatives with an interest in American politics have been forced to re-examine their preferred candidate. The rapid rise and fall of many “flavours of the month” has made it increasingly difficult to follow from across the Atlantic. Mainstream media tends to present the nominees as caricatures of themselves, while the liberal media delights in picking out quotes to make candidates seem more extreme. British Conservative MP Nadine Dorries Britain’s secular nature attempts to extract religion from elections. Tony Blair has been involved in a number of faith-based initiatives since leaving...

The Gingrich-Churchill Comparison
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
Newt Gingrich is not our "Next Reagan," the leader for whom we have pined since 1989, but could he be our next Churchill? Jeffrey Lord at American Spectator has made the comparison, and it deserves more attention. Consider all the baggage that Winston Churchill carried with him when he first became prime minister in 1940. His personal life was far from normal. Clementine Churchill had a brief affair with Terence Phillip, and she offered her fourth child with Churchill to a friend. Sarah, the Churchills' eldest child, committed suicide with an overdose of sleeping pills. Is this a perfect parallel...

Newt: The Civil Warrior
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
Over the last couple of days, several well-regarded Republican pundits have taken it upon themselves to educate Republican primary voters about the many shortcomings of Newt Gingrich. As I read them, I was reminded of Abraham Lincoln's reaction to the series of military and political experts who warned him that Ulysses S. Grant was an overly ambitious, incompetent drunk. When these experts demanded Grant's removal after the then-unprecedented casualties at Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, Lincoln acknowledge Grant's shortcomings but responded, "I can't spare this man; he fights." Many of Grant's critics were enamored of George B. McClellan, a...

Palin: Gingrich won the debate
Posted by admin / Under Churchill Insurance Company
While candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry battled it out in the CNN Western Republican Presidential Debate, Sarah Palin said she thought Newt Gingrich took home the winner's belt. "Everybody could learn from Newt Gingrich and the way - his calm, cool, collected manner," Palin said Tuesday in an interview on Fox News. "He's kind of seen it all before in this political game, if you will." Palin said the former House Speaker, often described as the most professor-like among the pool of candidates, would "clobber Barack Obama in any debate, any forum that had to do with substance."
