I'm tired of hearing some people, even from FR say that we need to "rise above the fray"!

I suppose you think someone like George Washington would agree with you?

You are just plain wrong on many levels.

In the political sphere, and in the religious sphere, a lot of people who understand what is really important have, unfortunately, taken the view that "The world is an awful place. I don't like the way things are going ... so I'll just go over here and surround myself with a small group of people who agree with me that the world is messed up. That will make me feel better about things."

Conservatives and Christians need to be out there overturning tables and shouting at people that they're "doing it wrong".

The Dr. Phil Show’s sponsors should be boycotted.

A few days ago, Dr. Phil played what he said was an excerpt of the Tucson shooter’s YouTube video, but the only line cut from the video was where Jared uttered “these two illegal wars.”

Now, what side of the political aisle would use the term “two illegal wars?”

The shooter is a leftist, but yet 75% of the country is still believing he is tea party or GOP, just believe the media lies.

I tend to come more from the opinion of smile sweetly as you stick the knife in their eye.

No quarter to liberals. Ever.

Jesus did the same without crude and abusive language. As a Christian, I'd suggest you try that model.

Just speak the truth. Shine the spotlight of truth on the RATs and they scurry into hiding.

she fought back in a very reasonable, calm manner, stating the facts.
If this is too much then we lose again!

I think it has to be MADE CLEAR that attacks will be answered, and too bad what Washington would have done. Who knows, anyway?

He WAS a warrior, after all...

It’s called righteous indignation....the keyword being “righteous”. If you’re in the right, it’s ok to show your anger at the wrongs being done.

Of course, the leftists all think they are in the right and never, ever question the possibility that they might be 100% wrong.

And yes...the leftists wish we would all just ‘turn the other cheek’ as was mentioned last week. I think not.

Amen brother! Now is not the time to sit back and take it. We need to bring a gun to the knife fight (I’m allowed to say that since our barry did).

I couldn’t agree more. The “New Tone” is a ticket to oblivion for conservatism.

It’s not time to sit down, shut up, and go to the “back of the bus.”

Wimps, weenies and hand-wringing weaklings are going to be the death of the Republican party.

Exactly!! Time for us to start overturning those evil tables.

No, I'm not doing any such thing. It is clear, however, that many who post on FR or engage in political conversations resort very quickly to vulgar and abusive language. I just want to remind people that little exchange of ideas occur that way, and nobody yields in an argument to verbal duress. Fostering hard feelings will not solve the woes faced by our Nation. So, I agree with the original poster just as long as he intends to "push back" with skillful use of language.

Interesting that you did not name a single level he was wrong on.

I don’t have a problem at all defending ourselves. In fact we should defend ourselves and not sit idly by and allow it to go on. I do however have a problem with using the same tactics they use. It’s unnecessary and all you end up doing is getting dirty with them. Like boxing, let your opponent get all riled up, then when they have gotten all spun up and flailing about, you let them have it. And keep it as simple as possible. If you do this long drawn out explanation, or you start shouting, name calling ect, you’ve lost, they aren’t listening and neither is anyone else.
