Conservatives especially. Cuomo stated that conservatives have no place in New York.
That is the case in my state, as well. I often feel like a stateless man.
The Spartans thought that a man, untethered from other Spartans and standing alone, was the most vulnerable and defenseless of all men.
He was dependent on the Spartan to his right to use half of his shield to cover the right part of his body that couldn’t defend himself because he was holding or using a spear with his right arm.
Without that man and his shield, a Spartan could not be part of the whole, and so a major part of their ethos, like a modern day wingman who is told never to leave his lead pilot alone in a dogfight, their prime directive as a Spartan was to always be the shield for the man on their left.
I might feel that way, if it weren’t for Free Republic and my conservative friends, who are the man to my right covering me with the left side of their shield.
Thank Goodness.
