Random Quote:

“King Edward of England inherited control of Gascony in France from his mother, Eleanor of Provence. But when the 27-year-old King of France decided in 1295 not to let the King of England control a fat chunk of his country, Edward went to his English nobles to raise an army so that he could regain control of his property on the other side of the water.

His nobles said, “Edward, that doesn’t really belong to England, that belongs to you, personally. So we’re out. You need to deal with that on your own.”

A con man who wants your money will present you with a phony opportunity. But a con man who wants your vote will present you with a phony emergency.

Having thus been rebuffed by the Earls of England, Edward summoned a vast assembly of barons and bishops, knights and burgesses, men of the shires, and representatives of towns and cities and told them their nation was in danger.

“The King of France, not satisfied with the treacherous invasion of Gascony, has prepared a mighty fleet and army for the purpose of invading England and wiping the English tongue from the face of the earth.”

It was complete bullshit, but it worked.

And it still works today.”
