My mother used to say, “Don’t become what you hate”.
I don’t disagree with any of the comments here in principal, but in reality, we are better than that. We will go along to get along. We’ll choose our battles, but we’ll fight fair. Maybe we are suckers for doing so, but we’re not DUmmies, KosKids or MoveOn loonies. We know that America is better than any one ideology or any one leader.

I think in general I agree, but I mean to keep on reminding the left of how they’ve acted for the past 8 years.

There comes a time when you MUST defend yourself by whatever means are both possible and necessary. I get righteously nauseated when someone comes along and tries to say “But I’m BETTER than that” while he or she does NOTHING to alleviate the threat facing him. That is someone who ultimately is suicidal... Sometimes we HAVE TO become what we hate to survive... but we don’t have to STAY that way after the threat has been removed. THAT is what civilization is for.

When we go to war, we have to go in and kill and do everything possible to defeat, demoralize and kill the will to resist of our enemies. We HAVE TO become even as they are, with the sole proviso that we do not DELIBERATELY target innocents, as they do. Then when we win and come home, we become civilized once more. It’s called SURVIVING AND WINNING and if we are not willing to do that, well, then why don’t we just sign over everything we own to the Rats, the go curl up and die “with honor?”

All's fair in love and war. And this is war. We're not buying that "nicy nice we're better than them" jazz as you can tell by the level of anger at a fraudulent election. We do not accept that the election was conducted fairly. In fact we should be demanding investigations and recounts.

Nice people finish last - in political fights like this one.

We're going for the jugular.

I have pretty much come to ignore everything my mother used to say cause she's a kool aid drinker.
