Along with so many FReepers from the north, I usually say nothing when this anti-American crap is flung about here on a regular basis.

Tonight, though, I'm so sorry to inform you that we, too, are Americans.

So take your silly separatist, anti-American crap and cram it up your Obama-like divisive southern pride.

God Bless America--not the confederacy, not the union--AMERICA.

You sir are a dork !! so bite me and mine.
The drivel you suppose is more than nonsense!!
It is braindead barfdom. There is not an iota of “anti-American” notions in the quote. It is a sentiment of resistance and defiance of an imposed statist situation which is the very situation we are presently IN - duh ?!.
All combatants in the War of Northern Aggression felt so moved to their sense of alliegence to the US Constitution that they fought the forces of oppression as they knew them to be. You should be ashamed for such stupidity and ignorance about American history.

Why are you here at FR ?? You seem to be a silly snit and that is as I sense your remarks!!

I used to live in Seattle and voted for Dino Rossi once. It would be wonderful if Murray got her a$$ kicked tomorrow.

Please, Lord, please get those vote-stealing ba$tards out of beautiful WA state.

The Norwich boys whooped up on the VMI and Citadel boys pretty bad. Stonewall should have stayed there another semester and taught them a little better.

(Kind of kidding...a little inter mil-school rivalry humor.)

"Xerxes was actually not too bad as ancient despots go"

And the Spartans weren't exactly paragons of freedom either - go ask the Helots.

You are of course correct. The Spartans were fighting for their freedom and the freedom of Greece while at the same time being some of the most brutal masters of their own slaves in history.

The helots revolted several times and even came close to winning their own freedom which says a lot considering they were going up against the best warriors the world has ever known.

We all learn form our elders’ mistakes !!
And America is the better for it.

And as history has described - the citizen-forces that hold America together has many facets.
So what Gen. Jackson had to say at that time is just as applicable today as WE ALL face and implacable enemy and I repeat his sentiment and my comment;
NO RETREAT !! NO SURRENDER !! NO PRISONNERS !! “...kill them sir, kill them all, they are the enemy !!”

I admire the stand of the 300 against overwhelming odds, but when you look closely at Spartan society, it was absolutely repellent.

Yes, they were taught to be brutal killers and murderers too. They also were taught to steal but not be caught.

They did have some good in them. After they defeated Athens in the Peloponesian war their allies the Thebans wanted to wipe Athens from the map. The Spartans remembered the Athenians serving with them against the Persians and refused to do so.

I have my suspicions that the Athenians would not have been so kind to the Spartans had they won.

It is near ‘The Witching Hour’, where I live. It is the second evening of the New Year, as I hold to a different calendar (but I can dance between the calendar that is used for business, and the one that I mark the seasons, days, and moons). It is the aggregate of all my prayers, supplications, offerings, libations, and movements of nature. It is the time, that The Usurper shall see, the greatest denial of power to him. His nature, revealed as I have asked, has become manifest, to the most blinded of them, who were once glamoured by him.

Patriots! Americans! Now! Now is the time for those who love Freedom to act! If you have NOT voted, Go! For all those who have lived before you, and all those that your family has knowledge of, that have died defending YOUR freedom, Vote!
