The question that immediately came to my mind when reading about this bore striking resemblance to a line from Full Metal Jacket:

"Why are you not stomping Pvt Pyle's guts out?"

Ask yourself: Could I honestly sit for long and watch that happen myself?



I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

I remember old timers spitting on the ground at the mention of Turkey or other Mooz nations. Modern nations that think the Mooz are peaceful and well meaning have not looked at history. They do not value life, and want to destroy Christianity and rule the world. They came close to exterminating the Orthodox Greeks in a campaign of religious hatred and intolerance. The left is doing a commendable job in helping achieve their goals.


Growing up Greek in NYC, I never connected the dots. Somehow, I equated the Otterman Empire with being just another despotic regime. My family was forcibly ejected from Constantinople back in the 20's and lost everything (except their lives thank God). My father was then born in Pa. But I digress.

The light bulb just barely popped on reading about the history of the past atrocities that were suffered back then--now I understand the reason for the depth of the animosity and distrust Greece has for Turkey.

Keep your firearms well maintained and fully loaded. Always.

It may start here again, but damn sure will end here.


Have you heard of the devshirme and the Janisarries? That would explain some of the hatred.

An excellent but forgotten film about the old country, Ottoman Empire, is America America, directed by Elia Kazan.

I've never seen a fight like that and be able to sit idly by while someone was being bullied. Never will. Give up my faith, never will.

Today Australia. Tomorrow, maybe somewhere closer to home.

Need to take some of their guests for a trip to the outback




Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Wake the hell up, world; Europe is close to being a lost cause, thanks to the EU.
