Her shirt. Spartans. "Molon Labe" is Greek for "Come and take them."

At the Battle of Thermopylae there were 5,000 Greeks that went to defend against 120,000 - 300,000 Persians led by King Xerxes. At one point 300 Spartan hoplites went to defend a critical pass to try to stop the Persians (reports of literal walls of bodies that the living Persians had to climb over). It did not end well for the Spartans, but they fought to the most hardcore death you can imagine. Anyway, reportedly, before the battle Xerxes told the Greeks to lay down their swords and Leonidas (Spartan leader) said, "Come and take them."

They fought for three days, all 300 Spartan hoplites died but they took thousands of Persians to the grave with them, according to Herodotus. Reports say there was a literal wall of bodies that advancing Persians had to climb over before they could attack in the later hours of the battle. (There was a whole naval battle that went along with this also... in total something like 3,000 Greeks died and and total Persian deaths were 20,000+)

If you have some time to kill you should listen to the episode of Hardcore History called "King of Kings." It covers this in incredible detail, and it's amazing.



Standing up to the Persians there unified the Greeks back home to actually get their shit together... this battle has been called one of the tipping points actually shaped the world and allowed our current "western" world to even exist today.





tl;dr: you missed the irony of a "come and take them" shirt, with a Spartan logo, while protesting to reduce and/or eliminate gun rights...

This has always reminded me of the Korean War and Fox Company's defense of Toktong Pass. At night the Chinese came at the hill in waves and died by the thousands. The marines used frozen dead Chinese bodies as sandbags.

It's basically the greek version of:

The Texan version is the copy. They would have known the story of Thermopylae.

I've always seen the first step towards full on socialism is the destruction or rewriting of history. That's why leftist leader are tearing down confederate monuments, anything biblical, and lie lie lie to blacks about history. It's a necessary step in their plan. It's also why leftist have invaded education and destroyed critical thinking and problem solving. They just rote teach their talking points.

So whatcha think about ol Donald Trump?

A better question is: what are you going to do with this Congress. Trump is put between a rock and a hard place and the only other option is to burn everything down with a scorched earth veto.
