What violence?
The question is:
Is this Beck’s way of saying “Keep your powder dry” or is this his way of saying “Better to Capitulate than to instagate” ?
Glenn is bipolar. Pay him no mind.
Glenn calls for patriotism and then tells people to back down when patriotism shows up. He needs to make up his mind.
I think he needs to go rest somewhere. Listening to him is stressful.
Beck has turned himself into a no-entity who’s in love with himself.
So is Michael Savage a fake . Savage is a marxist just like news media reporters are not reporters but marxist propagandists
Was he crying or giggling when he said this?
I think he’s back drinking again.
. . . Let us now trace the apostle's reasoning in favor of submission to the higher powers, a little more particularly and exactly. For by this it will appear, on one hand, how good and conclusive it is, for submission to those rulers who exercise their power in a proper manner: And, on the other, how weak and trifling and unconnected it is, if it be supposed to be meant by the apostle to show the obligation and duty of obedience to tyrannical, oppressive rulers in common with others of a different character. The apostle enters upon his subject thus--Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers; for there is no power but of God: the powers that be, are ordained of God. Here he urges the duty of obedience from this topic of argument, that civil rulers, as they are supposed to fulfill the pleasure of God, are the ordinance of God.
But how is this an argument for obedience to such rulers as do not perform the pleasure of God, by doing good; but the pleasure of the devil, by doing evil; and such as are not, therefore, God's ministers, but the devil's! Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. Here the apostle argues, that those who resist a reasonable and just authority, which is agreeable to the will of God, do really resist the will of God himself; and will, therefore, be punished by him.
But how does this prove, that those who resist a lawless, unreasonable power, which is contrary to the will of God, do therein resist the will and ordinance of God? Is resisting those who resist God's will, the same thing with resisting God? Or shall those who do so, receive to themselves damnation! For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good; and thou shalt have praise of the same. For he is the minister of God to thee for good...
Fascinating counterpoint to Mr Beck's pleadings - addresses many question I have, anyway. Entire speech available online.
Violence usually involves small numbers of participants and gives the government the edge, so should be the last resort.
However, the non-violent resistance must involve large numbers if it is to be successful. When the time comes, Americans must show the same intensity and bravery as Ghandi's people, as the Poles, as the citizens of Cairo. Government officials quake when large numbers demonstrate -- that's why the Dems fear the Tea Party so much.
Ghandi had the British fair play on his side.
Clive Bundy has the corrupt Harry Reid against him and he is willing to murder the family to get that land.
Over 200 armed men show up!
Violence is sometimes necessary. What is needed at this time is the consumption of more meat, militarism, with real fighting letting certain peoples know the time for play is over and governance is really a serious business.
uh oh ... Any idea where to find an honest media except at Free Republic?
Initiating violence is a no-go.
Retaliating against that initiation with your own violence is MANDATORY.
King had the Panthers and other terrorists do his dirty work so he could keep his hands clean.
Ghandi Junior.
The threat of violence is coming from the government, not the patriots who showed up to prevent it.
What violence Beck?
There was no violence BECAUSE patriots showed up to defend Bundy.
Peace through strength, as Reagan used to say.
Of course, the slaves were freed after five years of civil nonviolence from 1860 - 1865.
