  1. Woodrow Wilson is often held as your most dictatorial president.

  2. Not accurate: The Dumont flight was a powered balloon, an early airship really, it was not heavier-than-air controlled flight. Use of a catapult to assist take-off doesn't invalidate the Wright's claims as some aircraft today, have catapult assisted launch. I am no fan of them, with their penchant for litigation and patent claims, but they have the evidence in their favour.

  3. Well apart from the fact that he was a consumate BS artist, especially regarding his war record, his political incorrectness is something that sterile modern literature, which has to be PC it seems, cannot beat.

  4. Damn, you cut to the truth!

  5.  @-souls-5989  What do you consider to have been incorrect information? Seriously, what are your thoughts? My view is at least this presentation didn't gloss over his negative side, though it did, at the start, elevate Lindbergh to sone sort of high cultural status that is not really true now, and likely never was true, even at his height of frame.

  6. It was a lot more complicated than that.

  7.  @aaropajari7058  The slave trade was ancient, even back then. Funny how the riles of Africans and the Muslim world in the slave trade are never much mentioned and only white people are expected to feel guilt for it, even non-American whites.

  8. Might get messy in the comments section.

  9. Hellenic, specifically Macedonian, with a touch of Persian. The Ptolmey dynasty bred true, as was the habit of the time, with the possible exception of Cleopatra's mother about which little is known (cue Afrocentrists...). Depictions of her, as well as descriptions by historians, suggest she looked typical of the dynasty: Macedonian Greek in appearance.

  10. No more than Ronald Reagan was present at the liberation of concentration camps or Hillary did a dash from a plane under fire in Kosovo.

  11. Blame his researchers and scriptwriters and editors, who are American.

  12. Hillary happily wanted him dead too, along with Assange.

  14. I think so.

  15. With pictures!

  16. No fan of Mac but proper preparation would have required resources that idiot, FDR, didn't allow him to have. That said he did underestimate the Japanese.

  17. @blackjackleee I don't think anyone needs to create a negative image of Amin, he did a fine job of buggering his own reputation, as did those assorted idiots who supported him.

  18.  @phantomfreeman283  Most of the world could easily do that, given we have a less partisan view of FDR, but liberal Americans appear unable to make that distinction, given they see FDR as a saint.

  19. Que? College basketball is an American thing. Simon is British and lives, as far as I know, in Prague. US college basketball really isn't big outside the US.

  20. A fascinating man. Might not always agree with his beliefs and politics, but achieved a great deal in tumultuous times.

  21.  @KingEddo8  Well said!

  22. Funny how the recording of Obama asking for Russian help in the 2012 election doesn't get mentioned.

  23. Why? He won. No PC revisionism needed, he achieved more than you ever will.

  24.  Hamish McIndy  Isn't it the Dems who are the paedophiles? Pervert Podesta? The old fart you think might beat Trump this year?

  25. It was a different world, her general hygiene was hardly exceptional.

  26. As Churchill said, "...apart from all the others". No other system has worked as well, despite its many faults.

  27. Not all of Australia honour Ned Kelly. Doesn't necessarily mean we have much time for Vicpol, given its history, but the Kelly gang were murderers. The Jerilderie Letter is just arrogant posturing.

  28. G'day from Australia!

  32. None of those. Closer to Gogg or Gock in Dutch.

  33. Hard 'c' os also correct in British English.

  34. @Tattle Boad They all think they are cutting edge individuals, whhen they are really sheep.

  35. @Tattle Boad oh, easy, if they all bleat the same inane claptrap, yet claim to be unique, then just walk away. There are sometimes external signs, such as man-buns and skinny jeans, but not always.

  36.  @fvckyoutubescensorshipandt2718  Most who advocate this sort of thing rarely follow these belifs themselves

  37.  @howtocossackdance  Where does it say fellow political travellers have to like one another? People in political parties in Western democracies often loathe one another too.

  38.  @fhialsdhkt43tg72  Mega-authoritarian methods are the only way to implement a Communist government.

  40. Well, you can fight for historical reasons, or remain in the UK for welfare. The Scots chose the latter as independence will cut off funds from Westminster, and the Scots would have to go it alone. Most Scots don't want that.

  41. It was missing. Poor editing, I reckon.

  42. I got force-fed Romeo and Juliet in school, and we saw it on stage. The fact that Juliet appeared topless in several scenes increased my appreciation...for the script, of course! Very artistic.

  43.  @swampivy12  Wow, you must be the life of every party!

  44.  @t.j.payeur5331  True! We need more good leaders, whatever their sex.

  45.  Forsaken Pumpkin  Semantics: it is well known that people flew before the Wrights, but they are credited with the first heavier-than-air powered flight. As for the Kiwi bloke, there is no proof. One thing the Wrights were was being very good at self-promotion, and this is what backs up their claims.

  46. Actually the tourism value of the royal family returns more to the nation than is spent on the Civil List, and this has been the case for years. As for your description of her, it says more about you than hef.

  47. Bollocks! The Monarchy has defined roles as well as a tradition, the Kardashians are as you describe.

  48. Funny how liberals can whinge about BC/AD without question, but we have to respect BCE/CE without question. Politically correcting and policing language is petty but typical of Lefties.

  49.  @EternalModerate  As was mentioned: we will never know. That said, his history suggests otherwise.

  50. Find a population that, at any time, doesn't want to be ruled, especially in these times of Big Government Leftism? Few people are cut out for life with no government, the US being no exception.
