I'm starting NOT to agree with this. One can only turn their cheek so many times until it come time to hit back. If a bully knows that they can get away with slapping you ... they will continue to slap you until you grow some and hit back ... IMO it is WAY past that time
It's a tough issue, all right. I, too, believe that turning the other cheek only works when the hitter has the ability to feel shame, the precursor to changing one's ways. The extreme leftists in this country have no such ability. Any effort to appease them or give them the benefit of the doubt is futile--they simply seize on it as another weapon to use against us. In my judgment they're as savage and unreachable as the Islamofascists.
That said, whatever we do to fight them has to be effective. Driving through their camp just increases their perception of their own victimization, and their feelings of righteousness.
Barring a divine flood to carry them all away, do you have any suggestions? I'd love to find a way to embarrass them and turn them into laughingstocks in the eyes of other Americans. I do think they're marginalizing themselves, but it's infuriating to watch the MSM promoting their cause.
