you said:
OK....you lost me right here. Overall, a fine piece, I must say.....yet you openly admit to being one who doesn’t want to be confrontational.
So, you want someone else to do it for you? You feel that the mess we find ourselves in will be rectified without confrontation?
What I said was that I am not normally a confrontational person. I don’t go seeking it. I don’t WANT power, because with it comes responsibility. Christ, in the Garden, sweated blood praying “ If possible, let this cup pass from me”. We all know He still did it. There’s nothing wrong with not being of a nature that doesn’t seek confrontation.
But if you run for office... and you get elected... YOU OWN THIS MESS AND YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FIX IT. I’m known in my world as a “really nice guy”.
IF I were to be in office, then I would have a sacred obligation to not just be a little confrontational - a la Gov Christie and some shmuck reporter - but to be the toughest, meanest, most devious, determined and unflagging General there ever was. To rally every troop determined to fight and to fight to the last man standing in the best and most effective way possible. To use every possible weapon at my disposal to do the right thing.
After all, what needs to be done is not just the “Right thing”, but the imperative, due to the consequences.
SEIU thugs are naturally confrontational, but they’re just bullies. Put good men, with good conviction with their backs to the wall, and they truly fight. Even if that’s not their first nature.
Keep in mind what I said. This isn’t just about Congress or the Governor’s mansion. It’s about facing down liberalism/socialism where EVER you encounter it. That takes a degree of courage (although not much), and you definitely have to be in-your-face about it.
I’m not afraid to be confrontational one little bit, so I find this easy. If you don’t, then go along with someone or a few others who do. Just DO it.
“I don’t WANT power, because with it comes responsibility. “
OK, so you are self-admitting a lack of responsibility.
Then you might temper your criticism of those who HAVE stepped up to take the responsibility, by considering that THEY too are just human, fallible, and can only do what they can do.
“IF I were to be in office, then I would have a sacred obligation to not just be a little confrontational - a la Gov Christie and some shmuck reporter - but to be the toughest, meanest, most devious, determined and unflagging General there ever was.”
And if such selfless super-humans dont exist - but merely human conservative Patriots willing to serve in office who dont measure up to your super-human standard ... then what? you toss them aside blithely ... leaving only socialist thugs to rule over us?
