These liberals preaching tolerance are the very same kids who let bullies take their lunch money. The same kids who wouldn't fight back when hit by bullies, because they didn't want to make they bully mad. I can remember clearly telling them to just fight back and the bully will go away. They always replied "if I do, he will hit me". I would say "he is already hitting you"! They always chose appeasement. Once in a great while one would change and stand ground. These liberals remind me of submissive dogs who offer their ass and fall in line at the bottom of the pecking order.

If there could be only one greatest battle that shaped the world as we know it, that would likely be the Battle of Thermopylae in which Spartan King Leonidas with 300 Spartans and 7000 Greeks held the pass against enormous odds and slaughtered thousands of Persian invaders. Realizing they were betrayed and outflanked Leonidas released the bulk of the Greeks and fought to the death with approximately 1000 others. Although Athens was eventually burnt by the Persians the victory was pyrrhic in nature and eventually the Persians were driven from Greece and all of their homelands conquered. Without this battle and the spirit it instilled in the forming of "Greece" from rival city/states "democracy" would have never flourished. Interesting that the battle is still being waged today by the relentless Persians and their Muslim calling. Don't be confused when liberals cite the crusades as a brutal Christian invasion of peaceful Muslim/Arabs etc. The crusades followed centuries of European invasions by these people who wish to rule the world to this day.
