And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The painted hall at the old royal naval college. London, England.
That all was not created by the crop of baboons in power in Great Britain today. But history is circular. Lot of amazing things have come from the great British Isles thru history, that is a remarkable thing being just how small compared to the rest if Europe. Says a lot.
With respect, what the heck is going on there? Dancing babies, half naked women, one pouring water from a jug into the jug of another, a ship stern, men and boys in their finest flippery, a scroll, flying bed sheets. However, I do spy a navigational instrument
Wife and I were invited for dinner at the Painted Hall, 29 years ago this month, had (Many!) drinks personally engaged with ADM Sir Jeremy Black and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston... There are other Sea-Stories from that night alone, but it was a tremendous privilege to be the only AD USN sailor present at that gig. Thanks for bringing back that memory...! Barco Sin Vela II

I wonder if this "almost-holy" painting is a controversial as the painting that was taken out of storage and redisplayed at the US Naval Academy.

ReplyDeleteShortly to be painted over because it offends the Muzzies.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the Christian world pulls its collective heads out of their butts and send those camel humpers back to the desert where they belong.
