The Truclent And Bullying

"The word ‘appeasement’ is not popular, but appeasement has its place in all policy. Make sure you put it in the right place. Appease the weak, defy the strong.”

Churchill argued that “appeasement from strength is magnanimous and noble and might be the surest and perhaps the only path to world peace.”

And he remarked on the painful irony: “When nations or individuals get strong they are often truculent and bullying, but when they are weak they become better-mannered. But this is the reverse of what is healthy and wise."

- Winston Churchill in 1950

Watch this clip from 2008. Intellectual dishonesty from the Right in it's pure form.

The least intellectual and least inquisitive are the easiest to radicalize. They believe the propaganda the quickest. No objectivity. No research.

Just like the host in the video clip, he makes a disparaging statement and has no understanding of its meaning. It's mental candy floss and the GOP has a massive sweet tooth for it.
