The Gathering Storm

I just watched this movie about the life of Winston Churchill in the years directly preceeding the Declaration of War by England against Germany in the late 1930's. It reminded me much of today's modern American left in that so many people were either misled about the gathering threat posed by Hitler, or they simply chose to ignore it.

Sadly, it took the consistent and persistent warnings of Churchill and a few others to overcome the popular opinion held by Neville Chamberlin and the anti-war leftists in the English Parliament at that time. Similar to today's America, the alarm had been going off for years yet some remained oblivious to the coming battle which appeared more inevitable every day.

Hell bent on world domination, the islamo-fascists are the Nazis and fascists of yester year. Hopefully the reelection of George Bush is a sign that America has finally arisen from its 30 year slumber in which it dwelled since the bombings in Munich during the 1972 Olympics.
