Re: “Politically speaking, I wish those who “represent us on the Right” would take this warrior mindset to heart versus rolling up in the fetal position and wetting their massive Republican diaper once they’re faced with the teeth of the liberal beast.”

The author’s advice is useless, because he completely misunderstands the problem.

The GOP leadership is not fearful - in fact, they lash out often, and with great effect, against their Conservative colleagues.

The reason GOP leaders are not warriors against the Left is because our GOP leaders agree with most of the goals and most of the principles of the Left.

I am astounded repeatedly how misunderstood are our own scriptures and how we allow them to be turned against us. When He said turn the other cheek he was saying that after you have been demeaned by the slapping of your right cheek with the back of the hand as one would do a slave, turn the left cheek for a blow from the palm. As one would do to an equal, a challenge to a contest between peers. FORCE THEM TO DEAL WITH YOU AS PEERS EVEN IF IT MEANS A BRIEF HUMILIATION. In the end you win because they will not want to elevate you to peer status but your passive defiance humiliates them. This is the true meaning of turn the other cheek. Not the “be a doormat” for thugs that one hears too often.

If conservatives want to throttle the enemy, REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN FROM THEIR CARE!

Give the enemy unemployment!

1) Businesses and corporation use SAT and ACT scores to find bright and trainable employees. For technical work, hire people from the technical schools. The fact is very very very little of the work done to run your business requires a college education. Historically all that was needed was a solid 8th grade education.

The fewer kids in college, the better!

2) Take your kids out of government K-12 school.

3) Homeschool. Encourage your friends to homeschool. Start small neighbor-based cooperatives. And...Remember, beware of private schools! Nearly all teachers in this nation ( even private school) were trained by godless Marxists in godless colleges of education.

4) Stop treating government teachers and college professors like they are resurrected Mother Teresas. They aren't. They **willingly** go to work every to support, uphold, and establish a system of indoctrination that HURTS children!

Where did you hear that explanation? I’ve never heard that and it doesn’t seem to fit considering the verse prior (Mat 5:38) and verses 40 to the end of the chapter.

Not difficult. Took me ten seconds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_the_other_cheek.

I believe I originally read it in MacArthur.
