The little bastard needs more than a message board smackdown to teach him some respect.

A tired leftist tactic of the 1960s.

Pretty damn powerful tactic when you consider the destruction of our culture it has wrought. But by all means, take up your 9mm and rush into the breach. You will become just another "60 minutes" propaganda piece they can archive next to Ruby Ridge.

... government has a monopoly on the use of force, but, as many non-violent revolutions have shown, force is often a deception for those who poses it. They forget from whence their power comes and that is their downfall.

Horse puckey. First, there haven't been "many" non-violent revolutions. And second, those there have been were dependent on the rulers valuing the lives of the rebels more than their own governance.

You speak in fairytales.

As a little kid in the 60s, I remember the violence, the political assassinations and the protests, but I never understood why.

After watching the government take over two of our three car companies, muck about in the finance and banking, demonize insurance and people who fly and now take over the health care and health insurance industries, now I understand.

Interesting that the progressives benefitted the most from the Kennedy and King assassinations.

The non violent Iranians have not had too much luck with a non violent civil war. The other side has the guns, holds the power, and counts the votes.

the first - and essential - step for tyranny to take over a people is the confiscation of guns.

Our enemies know that...and have been trying frenetically for many years.

They have not only not been successful but they have inadvertently, strengthened our rights to bear arms and have, in the last 2 years, been very beneficial to ONE industry: guns and ammo.

It is nigh impossible to take over a country of armed and dedicated citizens. This will prove to be their Achilles Heal - should they push us into it. (another advantage - liberals don't tend to be gun enthusiasts/owners ;o)...)

8) Shrug in every way possible.

9) Deplete the Beast from every angle (get welfare, file paperwork, Alinsky the bastard to death).

Needless to say I became unglued as did my son who then responded and gave this little punk the smack down on respect

In a real shooting war, the lib states don't have a chance. These punks make me laugh.

This was before I found out he was 15 and a keyboard warrior. He called others ignorant, critiqued their spelling, told one man whose Dad was a Nam Vet that he was a hypocrite for his Dad taking medical care through the VA.

personal responsibility is a code word for keeping the feudal and elitist society we have in place. I say that if it's a choice between humanity and "personal responsibility,"then let the latter die. By the way, I assure you I do more charity in a week than you or your sons do in a year. 5/7 days a week I'm giving time to various charities, ... See Moreincluding Haiti, Gift of Life (fridays and saturdays), amnesty(Tuesday), the environment (wed), and GSA (thursday). Furthermore, my avid political action is doing all the literal and symbolic work that it needs to to help those less fortunate out. Then again, you and your family most likely missed the literature class that had lectures on symbolism. I guess this money-before-education philosophy isn't all it's made out to be. By the way, if you want to play an insult game, I can almost assure you that my expected value would, well, let's just say, be very high in your eyes. It's a good thing I don't let dollar sgns cloud my heart and mind.

Thank the Lord my kids would never get sucked into this mentality, they'd kick his ass. We do have a lot of work ahead of us, especially when it comes to our kids and grandkids. The above mentality is a cancer.

The problem with Prager(one of them) is that he is too nice of a guy.

“Thank God this civil war is non-violent.”

Not today.....tomorrow, or next month, it may be another story.

Allot of social struggles have been won this way.

Name ten.

Violent acts, will be used to marginalize us.

Only when "we" agree with the enemy when they (invariably) claim the violence wasn't justified.

“We are facing ruthless SOB’s who HATE us...radicals who want us dead.

Does Dennis not know this?”

Dennis is not emotionally equipped to deal head on with pure evil.

Socialized medicine is an open declaration that “your health, your life, your wealth, is OURS to determine and make use of.”

“I consider immigration to be THE central issue. There is ZERO hope of ever having anything resembling a restored Constitutional Republic once the voting roles are bloated by 20,000,000 hard core leftist/Democratic voters from Mexico.

Anyone who doesn’t get this is delusional. Amnesty is game, set and match in a way that Health Care isn’t. Heath care is a terrible battle to lose, but immigration is the war.

So, yes, I’m obsessed and will continue to be obsessed, until such time as we lose on that at which point I will withdraw from politics, it being at that point a total waste of time. “

Post of the Day!

Nothing else matters compared to this!!
