During the Punic Wars Cato and other notable Romans argued that Carthago Delenda Est, that is, Carthage must be destroyed. Substitute sympathetic ordinary Americans, like Cliven Bundy, Joe the Plumber, and the superbly talented Sarah Palin for Carthage, and you have the rallying cry of the Democrats and their media enablers who will use any pretext to demonize those who dare to challenge their power..........
........... This weeks victim was a nice rancher, Cliven Bundy, who got the sort of isolate and target Alinsky-style treatment weve seen others get. His opponents hurl a false charge against him, rely on doctored quotes from an unsophisticated speaker and people who should know better run away from the forum for fear their sparkling white togas might get spattered with mud. They still dont get it. Wait to see what the person actually said, instead of taking the word of Media Matters or the New York Times. Think about why the person is being attacked and by whom before you hoof it away.........
He is no more a racist than is E.W. Jackson, Thomas Sowell, or honest observers like the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Government welfare programs have destroyed the black family with horrible consequences. And the blacks who support Bundy and protect him have defended him against these spurious charges of racism.
But Bundy must be tarred because this latest government action against him exposes the corruption of Majority Senate Leader Reid, brings into question the continued control of such vast stretches of the West by the federal government and shows horrified Americans the brutal tactics, lies, and objectives of the Bureau of Land Management. Its race used as a look, squirrel distraction from the obvious. Dont be like the white toga ninnies. Do not flee from the forum.

But, but... The super patriot said that if I stand with Bundy I am supporting evil, and that my duty as a creature of God is to stand with LOVE against the forces of darkness... or something.
what is that supposed to mean. What language is it in. Talking bout Nevada It might be Spanish. It could be Chinese also since Harry Ried is over his head in Chinese monies. Is it latin or Italian?
“Delenda Est” is a short story written by Poul Anderson, part of his Time Patrol (1960) series. The title alludes to the Latin phrase Carthago delenda est (”Carthage must be destroyed”) from the Third Punic War.

Latin.
How soon before the “zampolit” arrives?
I have seen him in some key threads recently.
Just a heads up about a recent “political officer” that will infest a thread, dominate it, debase free thinkers and castigate those that question him.
Such as in the recent MH370 threads.
I took Latin in 1963, ouch.
Thanks...marked for later FULL read.
All of it true, 100%
But the damage is done.
Even if the NYT and Media Matters were to publish retractions, few will hear of it.
Because the MSM, Academia, Entertainment, and the DemonRAT party are one and the same, they own the public perspective.
We are just discontented rabble to them, and they are even working now to shut us completely out of the public square. We are as a mouse to a lion: safely ignored regardless of our quixotic attempts to take it down.
Soon, their worldview will not just dominate, but prevail.
The only hope we have is to infiltrate their institutions with right-thinking people, to work from the inside out. This is what the demonic Left has been doing for over 100 years! It is quixotic at best to think we can take that down in any less time with any less effort.
Problem is, unlike the demonic Left, we love our families and our work. Most, if not all, of us work. I heard a stat on Howie Carr the other night that 40% of DemonRAT voters work, 77% of independents work, and 90% of Republican voters work.
Most of us are really to busy to really DO anything about this, except vent off in forums like this one.
It will take millions of people who are willing to sacrifice their jobs, their homes, even their families to overcome what the Left has done to this country.
And I don’t mean armed insurrection.
I mean infiltration into Academia, Entertainment, MSM, and even the DemonRAT party itself.
This is a kickassed thread worthwhile for everyone here to read.
Almost as far back as the Punic Wars there was this.
Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."

Naturally, the progressive establishment found their prey and devoured it before anyone could even figure out that Bundy’s statements were doctored.
Not that we should be surprised one single bit.
But it is ironic that Bundy is forever tainted as a racist by the low information crowd for pointing out the obvious and tragic circumstance of the plight of blacks in the United States, a circumstance that was created with the full approval and thunderous applause of the very people that are lynching Bundy right now.
It will be a great day indeed when the New York Times finally goes bankrupt and ceases publication. A more traitorous rag could hardly be found
of the Day!
What shall we call Hannity, Beck etc that now have turned on Bundy? This wasn’t about the rancher, it was about the excessive use of force by the BLM.
Much of what I’ve been saying here. Thanks for posting this.
I believe Clarice Feldman is targeting her excellent piece at the shameful “toga elites” who shamelessly and blindly threw Rancher Bundy under the wheels of their fleeing chariots. Rather clever of her.
Idiot
It is not done. This "damage" needs to be highlighted for the lies it represents. Letting it go reinforces all the hateful characterizations the Left has hung on conservatives. Bundy's lynching presents us with a place to stand and fight -- not retreat. It needs to be highlighted and ridiculed, NOT dismissed by turning tail and running.
Be very careful of whom you hate because you soon become just like them.
