A masterly spin job on a rather grubby contest about taxes

.. says Conrad Black about the American Revolution. They don't feed him good enough porridge down there in the Big House?

In his speech "On American Taxation" Burke came out on America's side. While Burke had hoped for reconciliation with the British in America, he always recognized the decency and justice of the American cause — a marked contrast with Burke's views on the evils of the French Revolution. During the war, Burke was not only dismayed that his German-descended king was waging war against the "American English" with the "the hireling sword of German boors and vassals," he grew convinced that American victory was the only way to ensure the survival of liberty in Britain.

Burke was a great guy.

They don't make them like that in England any more. Well, not anywhere else, while at it.
