Anything the left does, it should result in a reaction of 10X the intensity. That is how you stop bullies.

"Turn the other cheek" has a very narrow application and Jesus never said not to defend one's self from physical attack.

Jesus' statement above dealt with the issue of personal revenge or retaliation, not self-defense.

Romans 12:19 tells us: Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord.

Revenge and defending one's self and one's physical well being therefore are two distinctly separate things.

This is what Sweden would sound like if it could write a retarded column.

Each to their own, but I shall never surrender.

“”If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,””

Barack Obama June 2008.

I’m tired of turning the other cheek.

Amen. Marquee if Queensbury rules don’t apply when battling communists.

If Conservatives Set Aside Civility To Fight The Left’s Rude Provocation, We Will All Lose

The entire premise of this article is naïve, and laughably so.

Mutually Assured Destruction has kept the US safe for 70 years. The concept works, even on small scales. Take a chunk out of the high school bully and they think twice about bothering you again.

[Pollard]

Moral high ground aside. If we do the things they do, which one is going to end up all over the TV screens, in newspapers, on websites, social media and just how do you think it will be betrayed?

We’re already winning, albeit slowly. That’s why the left is doing what they’re doing.

Be patient, trust in Trump and have Faith in God. And if a leftist comes at you, beat the living shit out of them.

Sometimes so called “juvenile rhetoric” is required!

[60Gunner]

No. In fact I think it will be answered loud and clear ... with a new conservative justice on the Supreme Court and a huge conservative voter turnout later this year that will give us huge, bigly gains in Congress.

Yeah, that's going to make those bastards cower in fear and return to their basements. Just like after we took the White House in 2016.

Oh wait. They became more violent after 2016.

If you are hanging your hopes on our enemies' respect of the law and justice, then you are living in a dream world.

I wasn’t aware that there was a whole lot of civility to be found on either side.

[al_c]

All that is true. But my point still stands ... the Dems are destroying themselves with these actions.

[Justa]

The Bushes are from the same class as the Clintons and Obama -the Patronage class. Obama being the ultimate expression of patronage.

The Patronage class earns nothing through effort or merit. Everything is given to them through associations of mutual support. I.e. Patronage.

Remember antifa in Berkeley last year
They got pummeled
Now they are thinking twice

Gotta say the Brits had the best names for ships.

If and when the shiite really hits the fan, I would suggest going after the leftist media whores first. They are the primary enablers of increased tension and violence. Then turn to the useful idiot thugs.

[vespa300]

The german citizens were pretty civil to hitlers bullies and thugs. Look what it got them. The only thing a bully understands is a punch in the mouth. Trump gets that too. I can assure you.

The tactics, bullying, threats, violence of today’s left is shockingly similar to hitlers thugs.

[familyop]

So lefties are wanting a backlash. They should be careful what they ask for. Look at what the young folks are up to.
