From being anonymice...to banning...to deleting...to hiding and crying to moderators to shut someone up so they can talk freely and without fear of contradiction...in all these ways these guys all prove our ideas about them...what David expressed so simply and eloquently by pointing out the "Assyrian" is a verb, not a noun. I'll add that being Assyrian and wrapping yourself up in the blood of "martyrs" is no hiding place or safe haven from which to practice good old Christian hatred...in this case of the Moslems.
I would meet anyone of these turkeys, but preferably all of them at once...anywhere and at anytime with both hands tied behind my back...intellectually speaking of course. They will never do the same...and just listen to the reasons they would give, if they bothered to come out from hiding behind Mother Assyria`s skirts...and you`ll know they aren`t Assyrian at all. They have been associating themselves with that noble name in hopes its luster would obscure their meager accomplishments and lowly status.
They will be gone soon...because they will be too ashamned to admit to being Assyrian once the standard is raised beyond their puny reach...and the world chooses to ignore them...as it does now without even knowing they exist. Jeff and David and Doc and Alli and Stella and Rabel and a growing number of Assyrians will be what the world will know of our Heritage soon...that and the Aprims we bring out OURSELVES for comic relief.
