” Answering the violence with violence, as has been suggested on this forum many times, will not work. Passive resistance will work. We need a better strategy to work.”
Why doesn’t violence on violence not work? Always has worked in the past. Are you just a coward? Afraid of a fight? Won’t fight to keep your freedoms? Think disciplining children is too harsh? Spankings never your thing?
Okay,
I watched 13 minutes of
the 1:22 vid.——
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.This was expounded on further in the Goldwater book, The Conscience of a Conservative:
The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”They attempted violent revolution in the 1960s with the support of the then-USSR; and now that Trump finally pushed back on Red China, they are trying it again today.
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. […]
Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …
“Answering the violence with violence, as has been suggested on this forum many times, will not work.”
Bullcrap. Utter bullcrap.
Ask the Imperial Japanese or the Nazi High Command if violence worked it not.

Water hoses were used very effectively against protesters in the 1960’s, which is why the Left HATES them.
That would require the FBI. They are part of the problem.
With a pocket full of ball bearings.
Yep
Yep
You are correct on all points. Being passive is inevitably seen as weakness. Weakness invites attack. Once the situation reaches a certain point, a person MUST either stand up, or bend over. And we all know what bending over brings.
Yep, and Millie is a limited hangout.
The press are the propaganda arm of the deep state.
Ecclesiastes 3:3
We have used ‘passive resistance’ since the 1960’s with the domestic Marxists and look where we are today. Time to ‘punch them in the nose’.

Ture that !
And this statement needs to be repeated !
Marxism and communism is economic and physical violence.
No, not at all. I am armed to the teeth and intend on continuing to be so. And if anyone comes to my castle with ill intent, they will pay for it with their lives. However, I was looking for a way to resist the resistors, and I read about the way the MLK resistance worked, as opposed to Malcom X, the Black Panthers, etc. I served in the Navy during those times (although I served during Vietnam, but Stateside), and am well qualified and prepared to defend myself, my family, and my country. But it seems to me that what the rioters and protestors are doing is to provoke armed resistance, which I do not believe will work. IN fact, as King pointed out, it will only inflame tensions and lead to further violence. God is the answer. I can think of nothing that will inflame the liberal left more than Gospel songs that are shouted out when they proceed to shout out their blasphemy. That is how to drown out their message. Contrary to what you might think, I am certainly no pacifist - I did take an oath to defend the Constitution and love my country. However, I did not sign on to blow people away because I don’t like their message. I can counter their message with the truth. That is my point entirely. Alas, I am an old man now and cannot fight with them physically any longer, but as the good book says, truth is mightier than the sword. And even though I am old, I can still shoot better than most folks when I have to. My truth bullets will hurt much more than my S&W .45, my shotguns, my rifles, or my other weapons.
Mine too. Truth is a severe weapon.
Liberal Democrats are behind it, and many run the government. Shine a bright light on them. Truth will defeat them all...
