“Because the Spartan women at the age of nine gave up their male sons.”
I kinda thought the mothers were older than nine. Did they get to keep their female sons?
(I couldn’t resist.)
He is a good Man and speaks the truth.
I already did, Colonel.

Children having children leads to perpetual abortion on demand and that is a one big reason why we have so many problems in our society today.
what made the Spartan men strong?
Part of it was that if you were born runt, they threw you off a cliff.
Celebrate that.
A visiting Athenian sampled a spoonful of Spartan standard mess black bean gruel and said, “I can see why you Spartans aren’t afraid to die.”
So turning your kids over to the government is a good idea?
Sounds like a totalitarian, statist notion to me.
My grandson will complete basic next week, not all American kids are metrosexuals.
Minor correction: Queen Gorgo never said any such thing to a Persian emmissary. That was a creation of the movie 300. It was a woman from another Greek city-state who asked her what made her think that she could speak amongst men, and Gorgo answered that it was because only Spartan women gave birth to real men.
A “conservative” who admires the socialist/militarist/totalitarian Spartans should never be president.
“Who is going to tell us who this man is? Is he legally there or not?” said Karch. “What are we going to do to ensure that, if he isn’t legally there, it doesn’t happen again?”
Said West: “I will tell you this: That is the dog chasing its tail. The most important thing is, it’s the policies. That’s what we have to be standing on.”
The crowd of about 400 applauded, but Karch wasn’t satisfied.
“But if he’s not, it’s treason,” Karch said.
Said West: “You will waste more time worrying yourself to death about that instead of making sure that you expand the majority in the House of Representatives, you win back the U.S. Senate so that you can stand against the policies that are emanating out of the White House… “What is your objective? Your objective is getting back to a constitutional republic principles and values. If you spend your time worrying about someone’s citizenship, you will never get to that objective.”
West didn’t offer his own opinion on Obama’s citizenship during the public forum. So PostOnPolitics asked him after the meeting.
“He is a citizen. He’s the president. I mean, that’s all I know. I am concerned about his policies,” West said.
I have done my part.
I like the way this guy talks.

There are other aspects of the Spartan martial tradition which are best forgotten. (They took male camaraderie a little too far...)
