The Only Way to Restore the Norms Is to Finish Them Off
Townhall ^ | 4/6/23 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 04/09/2023 2:07:34 AM PDT by CFW

Conservatives whose reaction to the banana republic shenanigans of a leftist DA in a leftist city using a ridiculous perversion of the law to take out an enemy of the leftists is anything less than a desire to deal the pain right back are worse than useless. They are a menace. Their channeling of Kevin Bacon in “Animal House” empowers our enemies to ruin our country – and us. If you love the rule of law, if you want to bring back our precious norms and hold to our precious principles, then it’s time to go Full Truman and nuke ‘em ‘til they glow.

I note that Japan hasn’t gotten uppity since we tossed them a couple of hot rocks. And that’s what we need to do to the left.

Mutually assured destruction works. But the “mutual” part is just as important as the “destruction” part. When you don’t make it mutual, when your sissy rectitude reacts to them wrecking you by whimpering about how hypocritical they are, then it’s only us who get destroyed. And that does not work for me.

This piece is from a couple days ago, but I haven't seen it posted here. Kurt is right and many here have stated the same over the past few days. We have got to stop taking the "high road" and resting on our "principles". That attitude is what has allowed our nation to get to this point.

From the article:

“Is this the kind of country we always wanted? Nah. I greatly prefer the rule that you are reluctant to jail your political enemies and to use the law to squash your opponents’ ability to compete. But you know what? The Dems decided they wanted different rules. I warned them. I opposed their changes. But no one can deny that the changes happened. We do live in a country where you jail your political enemies and use the law to squash your opponents’ ability to compete. And we will live in such a country right up until the moment that us doing it to them causes them so much pain that they beg us to change the rules back again.”

Somehow, suburban women run this country. Pearl Harbor wouldn’t have swayed them into declaring war.

“He reminds me of my ex-husband” is NO way to go through life.

(Or a Republic)...

Maybe If we had billions of dollars we could pay people to do the right thing... That seems to work for the left..

It's a lack of morality that's killing America...

Yep. Retaliation in kind is the ONLY thing Leftists will ever understand.

Seems like options are dwindling, we all see it coming. There seems to be no solution when you come up against people who will resort to immediate violence if you don’t agree with them and their cause. We still see most as misinformed and reasonable to some extent, they are not. Especially when the government is protecting them and encouraging them. They see us “all” as the enemy that needs to be eliminated. May cool heads prevail but it doesn’t look good

“ May cool heads prevail but it doesn’t look good”

Sometimes responding to attack IS cool per heads prevailing.

I would go further and propose dropping real nukes on the 10 most populated Rat cities, including the FBI/State Department and the New York Slimes/Washington Compost. /spit

Agreed. It's time we fight back using their tactics. We need to do so within the constrains of the law however if push comes to shove ......

Secession will never be practical so we need to change the system from within. We can start off by getting a ground swell of popular support. We can start off by defying the institutions who are pushing the woke quasi-marxist claptrap on us. We need to look at the reason why the left is winning this culture war and use those very same tactics.

Given a progressive an inch, and they will take a country. We have to stop compromising away our freedoms.

“And we will live in such a country right up until the moment that us doing it to them causes them so much pain that they beg us to change the rules back again.”

I hope Sarah Huckabee Sanders is paying attention. She could start the ball rolling by hauling in the Clintons for their crimes in AR. There’s no Statute of Limitations on murder.

Of course, her father and Asa Hutchison should have taken care of business when they were in office. They’re weenies.

They will push, push, escalate, push, push until we take them behind the shed and beat the living Obamastuff out of them. I wish that I were wrong, but that’s life. If they want to be weird, so be it. But weird in our faces means we should return to them their contempt for us with a hell of a lot of interest.

“BUT THE RULE OF LAW!!!!”

Yeah, what rule of law is that?

One law for Dems; other laws for the rest of us.

“And that does not work for me”

It doesn’t work for a lot of folks on the left end of the spectrum either.
Because THEY never run out of enemies...even if they have to eat their own..and they will.

DA Bragg’s,any number of people in the FBI,any number of people in the Biden Clinton clan.. may think they are safe.
