Good quotes. My favorite: "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last." ~ Winston Churchill
'My position on cake is pro- having it and pro-eating it. Boris Johnson'.
I just love Boris. :)
Very true!
Granny Annie: that is a good one.
Lom: typical Boris.
John: which one- or all?
I must say I like a lot of these EXCEPT, the Ann Coulter quote. She is an Ultra Conservative Tea-Party A**Hole!! (Sorry for swearing on your Blog, my dear Pat...But, I just cannot abide her! If anything the quote should be about her. She claims to love America, but in actuality HATES Americans...! OY!
"Attila The Hen"...mean, but funny!
I quite like the Rifkind quote.
Sx
I'm not sure what Ann Coulter is trying to say / do.
Is she saying that American citizens who hold political views different from hers should be compared to a man who was accused of murder? What if Nicole had family / friends who are Liberals? How do they feel about what she said?
It's a strange way to persuade others to consider your point of view. It's a good way to alienate citizens.
