I've had past discussions with leftist morons on this very subject (the failure/refusal of the elders to respond to the aggression) and gotten shouted down.
The story (history) is usually told by the victors and in this case, the glorification of a warped, murderous and evil culture has been disguised and few can see that or even want to see it.
The glorification of a warped, murderous and evil culture (islam) is now underway again, with the leftist sycophants leading the way.
In our schools, our governments, our entertainment...you name it, our children and impressionable youth are being indoctrinated.
I'm an old warrior...I only know one way to fight it, and should it come to that, I will...with every thing I have at my disposal.
My deep, abiding concern is that your message, and any other message of this nature, is being effectively shunted aside by the leftist loons that are permeating every segment of society.
They cannot turn it aside with intelligent responses, so they throw labels of racism, ignorance, bigotry.
Keep up the good work...and watch your six.
Your “Tet, Take 2” explains this depressingly well.
