So, Obama replaces a statue of a foreign leader with that of an American president (a Republican, no less) and these people are complaining? Why does Warner Todd Huston hate America? Has he no bukkit?

Hoo boy - if they’re getting rid of the Churchill bust, they must be gearing up to do a big bunch of appeasing, those Dhimmicrat traitors.

If they ask for a bust of Neville Chamberlain, watch out!

Why not go ahead and suggest rejoining the Empire?

It would make McMegan happy.

In return, he could send the Brits a bust of The Worst President Ever, and let them figure out the most diplomatic thing to do with it.

Lordy, there’s a lot of good stuff here this morning, but this one reaaly made me laugh out loud.

I would point out that the “repression of the Mau Mau” was one that expanded to all members of Kikuyu society and other groups as well (Obamas gf was Luo). The Mau Mau were, in fact, terrorists, who killed civilians (mainly other indigenous Kenyans) in quite nasty ways and left their remains as symbols of what happens to people that did not give them aid and comfort. But the rebellion was used as an excuse to suppress all the liberation and anti-colonialist groups. It was, in fact, recognized as a serious error to do this…and most of the trials actually went nowhere since the British couldn’t show any linkage at all between 95% of the people they arrested and the Mau Mau movement. It also gave the people tried a springboard to more widespread fame…Julius Nyerere and Jomo Kenyatta were both tried. Both wrote works about their jailing and the repression of the British colonialists (of which the reaction to the Mau Mau played a central part).

I personally think that Obama could have held a bit of an official ceremony for this and point out Churchill’s contributions before returning it (or moving it to a public area perhaps with this quote underneath it).

“”…the great principle of habeas corpus and trial by jury, which are the supreme protection invented by the British people for ordinary individuals against the state. The power of the executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him judgement by his peers for an indefinite period, is in the highest degree odious, and is the foundation of all totalitarian governments….
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy. This is really the test of civilisation.”

[Winston Churchill in a minute about the Mosley family to the Home Secretary, 21 November 1943]

correct usage: one word: dipshit

really, I was taught by an English jewess who swore very pointedly, knew all the variations and their best applications.
