"Is this how the average old Roman felt when the Barbarians where at the gates??" Where are Horatius, Spurius Lartius and Herminius when we really need them??
For you who went to Govt Schools after about 1970, here is the pertinent verse of Macaulay's poem:

"Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods, "And for the tender mother who dandled him to rest, And for the wife who nurses his baby at her breast, And for the holy maidens who feed the eternal flame, To save them from false Sextus, that wrought the deed of shame? "Hew down the bridge, Sir Consul, with all the speed ye may! I, with two more to help me, will hold the foe in play. In yon strait path, a thousand may well be stopped by three: Now, who will stand on either hand and keep the bridge with me?' Then out spake Spurius Lartius; a Ramnian proud was he: "Lo, I will stand at thy right hand and keep the bridge with thee." And out spake strong Herminius; of Titian blood was he: "I will abide on thy left side, and keep the bridge with thee."
Who in America today has the right and left of President Donald Trump??
PS: Note the DIFFERENT Bloodlines of all 3 of our heroes - yet all Romans!! That used to be America before LBJ, Obama and Biden's Democrat Party spread their vile lies.

Sutton, Give me a break. It is Trump that is a world class liar. According to The NY Times fact checkers, Trump has told over 20,000 lies since taking office. The Times has won more Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in journalism than any other paper in the nation. Of course, Trump has no answer for the Times, so he just calls the paper, "false news".

according to the liberal dull dung ? President Trump does exaggerate about quite a few things . although as i hear him it is mostly about trivial stuff . not like obumer , keep your Dr. Ins. and your rates WILL go down . 3 massive LIES . or selling military fire arms to the cartel , with a pretence of "tracers " being implanted in the arms so they could be traced to their hide out . ha,ha,ha, what a joke "LIE" so odd that the supposed tracers just some how quit working as soon as those PALLETS of fire arms crossed the boarder . OR the LIE about B******i , where an American Ambassador and American service men were left to die . OR the millions that he had loaned to some solar co. down in Fl. that just happened to file BANKRUPCY soon after they received all of that money .
F**E NEWS , your bimbocratic propagandist for 4 years have spewed out nothing but h**e for President Trump . be it a news paper , your msm or a bimbocratic LIAR . their all in bed together . destroy Trump .
you believe their lies you support their lies so you are you a liar ?

We're all across the land, from sea to sea and north to south. Fear not, the battle has begun, just not in earnest yet. We do not worship pagan gods, or temple whores. And we don't worship our dead ancestors either, though we remember them with gratitude. They fought in their day and we'll fight in our day. Our duty is preserving hearth and home and to the one true God, be all the glory. Only He is worthy! And only He can assure victory. May our sacrifices be accounted worthy, to Him alone.

Salty in case you don't know NYT is the liar. Trump too, but he didn't say there was no holocaust. The Times did.

At least this time you comment was a tad more civil. It's an improvement or are you just tired?
