Oh, you're very welcome Patrick. Raico's once-over-lightly respsonse was surely telling to any rational reader.
You're dead right in your conclusion: Churchill's reputation deserves to be taken down a peg or two but Raico's inconsistent scattergun approach riddled with inconsistencies is not the way to do it.
It doesn't do the job it purports to do, and it demeans the scholarship of the genuine Mises Institute scholars.
Scenario is that he did what all the experts told him to do and ended up doomed. I liked his last comment regarding following instructions. That was too good. How many people in reality did likewise?
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Sorry if this is off topic but I'd like to thank you for your support for my Churchill comment on Mises.org. It really does make a difference.
