Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Well, conservatives have been playing kissy-kissy with the Communists for decades and have been losing ground the entire time. We only win when they fear us.
Actually, this is not completely accurate. A better statement would be that this is not how civilized Americans, i.e. conservatives, do things. The unhinged Left, led by Obama, has no problem with destroying private property, rioting, and beating people they don't agree with.
Precisely.
You will learn Nuance. We gnomes are really good at Nuancing.

Perfect correction.
When things are destroyed completely, there's only one way to rebuild them...
...brick by brick.
Oh yes...the "Bring an etiquette book to a knife fight" strategy.
Oh shut up. I’m in no mood to read this crap.
That’s why we are in this situation now. ONE brick through ONE window is a big fing deal.
I guess he figures if we add cookies and bigger signs to the tea parties, that will do it. By golly, that’s the answer. Off to make bigger signs and bake cookies.
Not being the first one to strike isn't the same as never fighting back EVER.
That's where the burden of proof should be, and maybe it would be in a court of law, but in the media they'll try to smear the accused. But as many of these recent incidents that were perpetrated by a 'victim' group trying to smear innocent political opponents, the first place a rational person would for the perpetrators would be among the 'victim' group that would benefit from a bogus, staged incident. - Of course, our MSM is neither rational nor honest, so others will have to expose the real perpetrators.
In 1964 they told me that if I voted for Goldwater there would be riots in the streets and we would have half a million troops in Vietnam. They were right. I voted for Goldwater and we had riots in the streets and half a million troops in Vietnam.
The residents of Boston in 1773 did not vote in British elections. The Parliament was using the American Colonies as a cash cow, collecting taxes from people not represented in Parliament. For good or ill, we, the American People, elected these clowns.
Response: Maybe this failure is part of the problem!
LOL!
You and I will be part of the 10% who fight back. I turned 56 today, but I am not a coward, and I can still shoot a flea off the nose of a Marxist(with glasses on)
That’s what the saps did in the early Russian “Duma” between the Czars and Lenin. They played Marquis de Queensbury parliamentary rules, and the Bolsheviks marched in with rifles and that was that.
So all those Son's of Liberty were blowing rose water through cornstalks from Concord through Lexington back to Boston? I think not; they were real guns and real bullets. It's about pledging your life, fortune and sacred honor. Unalienable rights are worth the blood spilled to protect. To pretend otherwise is to kick dirt on the Graves of Thousands of patriots who gave their lives. If all it takes is a brick through a window to get the message across then great. If not then we live in a house divided.
Indeed, it is counter-productive. It allows our enemies to brand us as poor losers and dangerous extremists.
That is why it is easy to believe that some leftist threw the brick so a conservative would be blamed -- such tactics have been effective in the past.
