Nevertheless, I do feel competent to offer two very specific comments, one about Greece and one about Italy. Throughout our visit to Greece, there was
Continue readingThere is a story that Josef Stalin, hearing mention of the Pope, asked dismissively ““How many divisions does the Pope have?” The quotation, if true, is compelling, because it perfectly illustrates the Leftist viewpoint that the only power is that which comes at the point of a gun. The notion

Although many stories attributed to him are apocryphal, he himself admitted that he said “Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take.” My person favorite arose when he entirely
