Nie Wieder

Never again. The vow made against another Holocaust. Then again there have been so many. So many unarmed people have succumbed to tyranny. So many continue to be annihilated. Not always. At least not without a fight.

Thermopylae and the Alamo are major events that summon such thoughts and feeling. So is the fight that took place in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Marek Edelman, a cardiologist, was the last surviving commander of the ca 220 Jewish men and women, boys and girls, who effectively resisted the Nazis for over three weeks and showed the world Jews COULD fight.

Please, as always, read up on this battle. There is much to learn.

The resistance stultified the Nazis, who never expected it. Different from now, when there are those who trample our rights and tighten the grip of tyranny who know they have a fight on their hands on all levels. Some may under or overestimate us, 3pers, Restorationists etc. But we are here and aren't going anywhere.

Arms were a meager few handguns at first and then captured Nazi guns and some from Polish Resistance helped. Also, there were explosives and incendiary bombs.

Remember Warsaw Ghetto! That few fought many and most died.

Yet, they inspire all who would be free.

As Jews vow nie wieder, never again such a Holocaust, so must we all vow to fight for Freedom.

So many seem to cheapen what has been done before. Jews who are antigun join with other liberals in some sick tribal dance of death.

Our rights are bartered away and sleight of hand steals more Freedom.

Let us remember Marek Edelman among those who show us that we CAN resist!

We can stare death in the face and say NO!

We can expose those who destroy us from within with a resolve to make it a price that will cost tyrants everything and bring our Republic back.

April 19 1943 is the usual date seen that the fight began in earnest in the Ghetto. A date much heralded by US for Lexington and Concord.

Don't be amazed that people were still hurt and the communist Polish governemnt tried anti Semitic maneuvers against Jews in 1968. Most remaining Jews left, including edelman's wife and 2 kids. He stayed and doctored in Lodz.

As a heart specialist, he save many lives. The evil that would kill a healer was stopped, but never completely.

The death toll continues round the world, especially where those people have been disarmed.

For me personally, I say NIE WIEDER!

We must not forget that the Second Amendment is just an enumeration of the fact that defense is our Right, not just here but it is true around the world. We must, therefore, be torch/standardbearers and inspire the world to be free. It is our role as Americans.

May we continue to be inspired by Dr. Edelman and all the others through history who stood in hell.

Our turn is coming.
