Kennedy declared that the United States would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

Daring to defy the government?
Sounds like the wannabe Fuhrers don't like Americans to stand up for their rights!

Here is the explanation from a SHTFplan.com article:

When Vaus contacted various local and national media outlets in an attempt to air his song as a way to counter the Hollywood and Washington media blitz targeting gun owners, he was denied.
We reached out to Mr. Vaus about his experience and he confirmed the reports.
“Clear Channel refused to allow me to buy time on all of their DC area stations,” said a frustrated but undeterred Vaus.
“On the TV side, the video version has been refused by the two major cable TV carriers in DC – Comcast and ViaMedia. Finally I have attempted to buy time on MSNBC nationally and they have been unresponsive.”

I think ‘banned’ is a bit hyperbolic.

Sounds like banned to me.

In the summer of 480 BC, the Persian army, alleged by the ancient sources to have numbered over one million, but some estimate much less, marched towards Greece and met 300 Spartans at a pass in Thermopylae.

The leader of the barbarians, Xerxes, asking the leader of the Spartans to “Hand over your arms”. Leonidas’ famous response was for the Persians to “Come and take them.”

[Another great quote relates to when one of the soldiers complained that “Because of the arrows of the barbarians it is impossible to see the sun”, Spartan leader Leonidas replied: “Won’t it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them?”]

The vastly outnumbered 300 Spartans held off the Persians for seven days.

On a biblical note, the book of Esther describes what happens during the time of Xerxes reign. Esther is the Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus is traditionally identified with Xerxes.

The battle of Thermopylae takes place between chapters 1 and 2 of the book. It would be included in the “after these things” (2:1).

In the third year of his reign (1:3), Ahasuerus had a “Pep Rally Party” to entice the various kings in his empire to join him on a military expedition to Greece (Esther 1:3-22). At this lavish banquet, each participant got their own gold vessels (1:7). Each vessel was individually hand crafted and different from any other. This banquet was designed to encourage these kings to “sign up for a Greek vacation” with their armies!

{the above has been plagiarized from numerous sources...}

Send me a few of those sources, please. I’ve been trying to find the link between Xerxes and Ahasuerus for a while - and there is some doubt among historians (some of whom say that Xerxes came later). Thanks.

Can anybody tell me (as the article does not) WHO banned the commercial?

I read this thing up, and down, back, and forth, and front to back, but can’t find who allegedly banned the commercial from the airwaves.

I’d really like to know.

I walked into my banker’s office not long ago and there was a COME AND TAKE IT cup on his desk.

He was surprised I knew all about the Gonzales cannon.

The Persians were not barbarians. Persia was, at that time, a vast empire - far more powerful than the Hellenic civilization.

Now just a dang minute here. This is going too far.

I even have a ‘come and take it flag’ on a wreath I made for my front door.

I just did a google on it “Xerxes Ahasuerus”. There many sources that make this claim.

I find this point in history fascinating because of the cool cross over between Greek history and the Bible; along with the specifics regarding the battle of Thermopylae, Molon Labe, and recent history such as in Texas and the current use regarding guns.

Years ago I think the radio stations banned Cole Porter’s song “Birds do it, bees do it...”
