"DEFENDING EXALTED HUMAN VALUES"
Here are some examples of his brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values:
Churchill on Mahatma:
"It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer of the type well-known in the East, now posing as a fakir, striding half naked up the steps of the Viceregal palace to parley on equal terms with the representative of the King-Emperor."
Churchill on Indians:
"I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."
Churchill about Native Americans and Aborigines:
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
Churchill about striking miners demanding better work conditions:
"Drive the rats back back down their holes."
