MOLON LABE VS THE ANTI-GUN CRUSADE

     

     μολὼν λαβέ, pronounced moˈLON laˈVE, and sometimes written in the modern age as ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ or Molon Labe; is a truly classical and laconic expression of defiance reportedly spoken by Sparta’s King Leonidas I, in response to to Xerxes I of Persia’s demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. 

     It means simply, “Come and take them!”

     No matter the spelling, the sentiment is clear and is as true, right, and applicable in the America of 2014 as it was in the Greece of 480 BC!!

     2493 years don’t change anything of meaning!

     The same “offer” is being made to Americans today. Our lives in exchange for our ability to defend both those lives and the liberties that make those lives the lives of free men and women. 

     We, free men and women, law abiding citizens, must give the same response  to our modern day Xerxes; Obumble and Pelosi, the bloviating Harry Reid, and misguided ex NYC Mayor Bloomberg!

     All, to there core, mean well (? do they), but are wrong way Liberal and Progressive gun-grabbers! Way more interested in publicity than in solving the problem by digging down to the root cause.

     A gun, legally owned by a citizen, having mental health, is a threat to no one! 

      I own, and it is locked away (per NJ Law) :) in safe; as a responsible gun owner in NJ; but a very similar if not exact: Colt Model 1911A1 is pictured here. (.45)

Anyone feel threatened? No, didn't think so.

     A gun in the hands of the mentally "challenged" "IS" a BIG PROBLEM!!! 

     Can we finally, now, today, have an honest and open discussion on the ramifications of the progressive Left's negative impact on society in relation to mental health?TBC

 

 

     Palestine aligns itself with Hamas, and gives them government position and standing. Hamas shoots 1000s of missiles into Israel. Hamas tunnels under the border to attack and kidnap Israelis. Hamas hides their arms and missiles in schools, hospitals, and homes, essentially hiding behind children and women and using their deaths as propaganda.
     Israel calls and tells the civilians IN GAZA to evacuate when they are going to take out the missile batteries, but Hamas makes the women and children stay, so they can have a photo op of death and destruction to feed the biased lib news. 

     Hamas says they want to annihilate Israel and kill all Jews. 

     Israel signs peace deal after peace deal and Hamas refuses to sign. 

     What does the world do when Israel says enough and defends herself? They condemn her. 

     They do not condemn the terrorists, Hamas or the Palestinian government who aligned itself with them. 

     

      What kind of craziness is that? I would hope my nation would protect me if our neighbors did what Hamas does every day, to Israel

Hamas rockets launched from Gaza on a daily basis, What would your reaction be?

Some thoughts...

Pull out a map of Israel and the surrounding countries.

Now, scratch out the word "Israel" and in its place write in the letters,"USA". Ready, GO!

     Now...tell me again just what you would do differently when the rockets began to impact in your neighborhood! I can’t begin to understand how the citizens in the south of Israel feel after this day-to-day reality since 2005.

May it be God's will that prayers be accepted so that distress and anguish are heard no more on these borders.

A "gorgeous dame"?

 A "gorgeous dame"? 

     I was watching an old movie on TCN the other night, and I thought; "Wow, that's a gorgeous dame". I realized as well in that moment that "Dame" is a word no longer in fashion. But, why? It is not derogatory in any way- in how I mean it. I'll expain, but first: Who today, in my minds eye, defines the term, "gorgeous dame"? Well, in my humble opinion, I nominate Miranda Kerr.

     The world is awash with girls, but every once in a while there rises a woman of inspiration, of such beauty, wit and charm who steals wonder from the clear night sky, who outshines the sun. That's a dame. 

     Thus, the title given to women of aristocratic rank in the realm of Shakespeare, and the essence of praise from men who have engaged the world in its base and best                   places!                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                

 Apudne te vel me? (Your place or mine?) 

    Personally, I think she'd look even better on my scoot, but, I suppose, if you notice the bike, you're missing the point, right?  

    Boy, do I wish I knew photoshop......

      

     Yes, a dame, one who yet captivates a man's thoughts by the depth of her person, long, long after the "ride" is over.

BUFF, out.

Ode To The Welfare State

I am not against helping those folks who genuinely need assistance, I am taking aim specifically at those who game and use the system and the politicians who use people's naiveté (sic: ignorance) with promises they know full well are false, misleading and not in the best interest (long-term) of those they profess to be "helping".
 

 

     Unfortunately, for the future of our nation and the world, we are too focused on government handouts rather than the most basic function of government: defending us from barbarians.
