#14  (in transliteration) Molon labe, i.e. "Come and take them."

Ah! Thanks. The Spartans could've used a flag.

#12  When the Persian king Xerxes offered to spare the lives of the vastly outnumbered Spartans at Thermopylae if they would lay down their weapons, the Spartan king replied,

(in transliteration) Molon labe, i.e. "Come and take them."

It's since become a slogan for those who support the right to keep and bear arms, among others.

Hokay, what's this mean? Wind Rider at Silent Running posted the same words (in Greek), which has something to do with the movie 300. But what?

#10  Well, I'm glad you agreed with me Dreamsmith, as far as I went. However, I didn't say anything about the west not surviving, or 'silencing the seditious media'. Good luck with that...never happen. I'm talking about an individual backlash, primarily at the ballot box. Let the seditious media spout their lies, and they will continue to lose power, influence, readers and listeners, just as they have been doing for some time now.

The backlash will come, if I'm right, in a changing of the political landscape. Real Americans are sick of the lies.

#8  I agree with mcsegeek1. I can feel a storm brewing in this country. I fear things may get very ugly indeed. People are starting to talk not only in private but also publicly about the Mooselimbs latest atrocities and the need for change in our political system, schools and media outlets. The people are beginning to understand that if we do not put a stop to this multicultural PC Bull Sh*t that we are all doomed. The west will not survive the coming onslaught. We must clean our house before we can win this war. All of us must be on the same page. The seditious media must be silenced and the traitors among us prosecuted with extreme prejudice.

#7  Wonder how many people died in Darfur today? But I suppose everybody has to have their priorities. Right, Kofi?

#5  Everybody has a breaking point. I think freedom loving westerners have almost reached theirs. I see an incredible backlash coming against not only muzzies, but the entire PC apparatus that mollycoddles and protects them.

Or to put it more eloquently, in the inimitable words of Rob, "F**k that. And them."

#4  Rob: It doesn't stop there. As I'm sure they'll get 'round to telling you eventually, cartoons should also not be used to make unfair criticisms of public servants and undermine confidence in public institutions. Especially the UN.

#3  We're supposed to give up our liberty to keep from offending Muslims.

F**k that. And them.
