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?”

I'm neither suicidal or stupid and I'm not your enemy. There is a war in the world, but you are ignoring it as you scream about demoralizing and killing. Liberalism is wrong and even fronts pockets of evil that must be rooted out and disposed of, but mostly they are just uneducated and ignorant. Yelling at me about WINNING a political contest of wills when we have just lost (for now), and when there are more urgent threats in the world is futile and hardly a survival strategy. You won't win my support telling me that I must be like them and "HAVE TO become what we hate". Take a deep breath and get over your righteous nausea before your head explodes. I'm simply saying we are better and rather than becoming like them, we must show the misguided fools why they should strive to be like us. I didn't say we shouldn't defend what we believe in, but you are saying we should throw that away for the sake of winning. If you become them, they win.
