I really, REALLY wish you'd stop saying this. "Cartago delenda est" was a successful slogan for genocidal war, is that really what you're suggesting? Because that's what it sounds like to me. If you don't mean "the country should be defeated in war, the capital city destroyed, the territory taken over, select people sold into slavery, possibly with bonus sowing the ground with salt" then why use that expression?

Plenty of us are working hard to get our country back from the people who are stealing it. To see you wishing for our destruction every time you post is a slap in the face.

Worth considering that Cato the Censor was a rabid conservative who was generally a huge piece of shit.
