Kosta: “Your igorance is most regrettable.”
Not regrettable ignorance, Kosta, contemptible. Sadly it is emblematic of the mindset which gave birth to the present disastrous foreign policy of Washington, started by Bush 41, advanced by the execrable Clinton and brought to its inevitable nadir by Bush 43. By the way, UC, one of my ancestors died on the walls of Constantinople at the side of Constantine XI in battle with the Eastern Barbarian Turks on May 29, 1453. He died for civilization and Christianity, UC. Generations of Eastern Christians have fought and died for that at the hands of the Mohammedans. What about you Protestants? How many centuries have you been suffering for Christianity and Christian civilization at the hands of Islam? You think that Western Protestantism has the right to scorn the sacrifice of the Eastern Romans? My God, no wonder we're in the state we're in!
UC, the Greek partisan resistance on Crete delayed Operation Barbarossa. Do you understand what that delay meant? Did they teach you about what went on in the Balkans during WWII? Did they teach you about October 28, 1940? Do you know what Ioannis Metaxas told Mussolini that day and what meaning that had for the ultimate triumph of the Allies in WWII? Do you know what Churchill had to say about the Greek and the Serbian partisans? Do you know what allies they were to the United States? Or are you just a Mohammedan supporting neo con with no understanding of history or culture beyond the Eastern seabord who thinks its just peachy that America picks up the tab for KLA terrorism against our Christian allies because that man Bush has been advised by his Saudi business partners that Islam is the Religion of Peace and its good for business?

Unfortunately, many here are think that CNN is the beginning and finish of world news. Even the BBC is awful compared to its glory years in the 50s and 60s. We must educate rather than chastise because these people have not had the information, they have not had the education, they do not understand because everything that they have been taught has short sheeted their world view.
If you do not get CBC and CTV, where is your extra-American view that lends some sort of alternative to the world view? If you do not get ITV or some English language European or even Australian channel, where is the world wide perspective?
I think of it as duty to provide these otherwise goodly folks with the information and the perspective to use it. It is not much different with providing them with the Good News, you know. They are veritable Visigoths, understanding little except destruction, with no regard as to consequences.
American history as taught in schools is dismal at best. It is almost as if it is designed to make students uninterested and therefore not understand or remember any of it. Do not shrink, Kolo. It is our duty.
Like I said he must have been from the Augustinian [just war] wing of the EO not the compromised wing that collaborated with the Communists in Eastern Europe after WWII until a Protestant brought the Iron Curtain down in 1989. You are welcome ---
What about you Protestants? How many centuries have you been suffering for Christianity and Christian civilization at the hands of Islam? You think that Western Protestantism has the right to scorn the sacrifice of the Eastern Romans? My God, no wonder we're in the state we're in!
And just what has the EO done lately???? Does it support the Jewish people in their battle against Islam in Israel today or are those EO Patriarchs there siding continuously with the Muslims???? Wake up and smell the compromise and get off your high horse.
UC, the Greek partisan resistance on Crete delayed Operation Barbarossa.... Do you know what allies they were to the United States?
But that was Greek and Serbian not resistance from within the EO Church itself. These must have been secularists or fallen away EOs or from the Augustinian branch of the EO because they knew right from wrong and were willing to fight for it.
Or are you just a Mohammedan supporting neo con with no understanding of history or culture beyond the Eastern seabord who thinks its just peachy that America picks up the tab for KLA terrorism against our Christian allies because that man Bush has been advised by his Saudi business partners that Islam is the Religion of Peace and its good for business?
Are you signed up for the support of Israeli lobby here on Freerepublic or are you just another one of those EO hypocrites who opposes Islamic aggression except when it comes to taking over the land of Israel from the Jews.
