Christians are well aware of the New Testament verses where Jesus admonishes us to turn the other cheek and to beat our swords into plowshares. What Jesus did NOT say was to stand there and be slapped silly and to NEVER defend yourself.

We are at war - not one we started, but one that we must end.

Not a command, but a prophecy of a future that has not yet come to pass.

Let’s not forget what Jesus was compelled to do in the temple. America is our temple of freedom.
