God you have to love Winston Churchill...for those of you who do not know this great man or what some of his accomplishments were I suggest that you do some research on this brilliant person. For he held out and made his country stand fast in the face of an aggressor. An aggressor that sought to disrupt the everyday lives of British citizens and use propoganda to discredit them in the face of adversity. That aggressor of course was Nazi Germany and when war loomed with a resurgent Germany, it was Churchill who reminded the British people to stand fast and prepare for the fight of their life against a megolomaniacal ruler. For those of you that are a little weak on what the meaning on megalomaniac is, allow me to lament for you: 1 : a mania for great or grandiose performance
2 : a delusional mental disorder that is marked by infantile feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur. After the invasion by Germany, and later the Soviet Union, of Poland; World War II began. Here is a speech from Churchill that held his people together and made them aware of the impending bloodshed that the people of Britain and France faced.Winnie I
Churchill truly was a great speaker and a great man who recognized a threat when it loomed ever so close. But he stayed the course in the face of such actions and helped lead the British Empire to its greatest victory. The speech above came one month after the start of World War Two, a time when there seemed to be no actions made by the British and French against the Nazi aggression. Some writers started to call the war the "sitskrieg", as a way of mocking the horrifying, yet effective fighting tactic used by the Germans against Poland, and later against the western nations of Belguim, Holland, and even France. People could hardly believe there was a war going on since there were no actions. No front lines. And more importantly, no deaths of British and French soldiers. Similiar to the situation here in this nation where many question the reasons why we fight the war that we are fighting. And whom fail to comprehend the idea that there is still fighting going on over there. And there is still death.
Just think about this lesson in history when you fall asleep under the balnket of freedom that is provided for by the troops who are fighting the war to contain the actions of a modern-day megalomaniac. That while it seems almost impossible to fathom the fact that we are at war, not to forget that fact either. Thank you very much for allowing me to present this to you. Have a good night, a pleasant tommorow. And may the Lord shine brightly upon your face the bounty of happiness which we all deserve.
