Here's Some Old School Conservatism...

Here's just a little tidbit my pop sent me recently:

I can just see the twinkle in his eye as he says this. The lead mathematician at Bletchley Park that broke the Enigma Codes was quite gay.

"It is impossible to obtain a conviction for sodomy from an English jury. Half of them don't believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it."

Winston Churchill


So here's something for my dad, a brilliant piece on Eisenhower's Realism by Jonathan Rauch (as discovered by reading Andrew Sullivan again.) The man who knew a little something about war used the philosophy that peace cannot be forced, it is merely a product maintaining a proper balance of forces.

I wanna be like Ike~
