Since Catherine seems cordial with you I'm gonna be sweet with you

But I do think you should really ponder your declaration that you share with fellow traveler Beck....

. History has taught that violence is never the answer

That could not be further from the truth.'....that is a canard used by those with a loose grasp of history and culture......liberty has always been paid for by blood

So very true. thanks for saying that. Quite a bit has been "solved" through violence. When violence is met with acquiescing, we have the exact scenario which exists today. When violence is met with equal force, the good guys usually win. The whole idea of the "hippie-Jesus" movement pisses me off. Jesus was indeed the Savior of the World. But, that doesn't mean he never got or gets angry. They say "slow to anger." He has mercy...and He meets out justice.

The whole idea of "thou shalt not murder" being turned into "thou shalt not kill" is a means to move towards pacifism...which hasn't solved a single damn thing....except for making sure Ron Paul didn't win the Presidency...

Wardaddy, that honors me...thank you.

But I missed that part. Lucky, violence is never the answer? Surely you can’t mean that. How many times in the past has freedom been obtained/retained by bloodshed, when necessary? Was Hitler prepared to accept a peaceful solution? Was King George?

As for Ferguson, it’s a disgrace that those ferals are being allowed to run wild and destroy everything in their path simply because they’re members of an approved victim class. If you’re inside the convenience store that you own, and a mob is outside, breaking the glass, battering down the doors-—are you going to meet that with peaceful slogans and ask them to rethink?

If you do, you’ll be dead. They deserve to be met with firepower. That’s the only answer they understand.
