Thus ends Western Civilization By Joseph Farah
The London Daily Mail reports this week that one in four Britons don't believe Prime Minister Winston Churchill actually existed.
They suspect he is a mythical character, rather than a historical one.
Likewise, they think historical figures such as Florence Nightingale, Sir Walter Raleigh, Mahatma Gandhi and Cleopatra were also fictional personalities created for literature or films.
On the other hand, they believe Sherlock Holmes was a real person.
You can laugh about a survey like this, but I suspect we should all be very, very angry about it – at least the three-quarters of us who understand Churchill was not only a real guy but an important one in the history of Western Civilization.
In fact, he wrote the book on Western Civilization – the classic "A History of the English-Speaking Peoples."
