The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." ~~Thomas Jefferson
"Who will protect us from those who protect us?"
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." ~~Goethe

As far as I know, neither Philip, nor his son Alexander, ever attacked Sparta.

Use to be that way with the US. No one messed with us because we spoke from a position of strength and unity. Our adversaries love to see us crumble from within. Our credibility is quickly shot when you betray your allies and coddle your enemies. Other world leaders only listen in order to hear what bizarre fabrications and delusions our administration can come up with next.

I always loved that quote.

MADDOG... Yes, we use to be a force to be reckoned with. Mostly a force for good, I think. Not perfect, but better than the alternative.
Miss V. ... It's a pretty big word :)
Minds me of Gen. McCauliffe's response to Major Wagner when asked to surrender Bastogne: "Nuts!"
bocopro... exactly! :)
Eloquence in a single word.
Puts me in mind of something Mattis might say.
Just a reminder.. That response was so clear and understood, that BOTH Phillip II and his son Alexander left Sparta alone.
Time to be clear and understood again
