And STILL most of society turns blind eyes because ‘their stuff’ isn’t in immediate danger. The other guys’ is.

One of your good posts I can agree with, Norm.
The other day I was thinking about doing a column about starting “Teach a liberal the word ‘No” Day. But WE are the ones that could benefit from learning that word a little better I think.
All those little things we just give up? How about saying ‘No’? If only we would stop conditioning ourselves to accept bigger and bigger concessions.
It’s so simple a thing. But we really would rather just accept ‘whatever’ than to have to actually fight, even verbally. Can you imagine what will happen when it goes beyond having to fight verbally? We are going to have a repeat of the German trains for a lot of people.
Liberals conditioned us to give in. They have been teaching the avoid confrontation thing since the 70s at least, in schools. They have made us actually FEAR confrontation because it can cost you your job to argue and lately even disagree with a liberal.
So we abandoned the whole Chivalry/fight the good fight mentality to keep our stuff intact. And we will only turn this mess around when we get over the conditioning and realize the alligator will eventually bite us too. The founders understood the hang together or separately thing. We would do well to remember their wisdom.
