Just go back to what one of the Founders had to say on the subject:

Thomas Jefferson:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. “

I kept thinking about Mr. Jefferson’s statement on that. I posted to another thread yesterday that it was running through my mind. I had one reply of “Don’t go there...”

To me that seems to be the problem all over. Everyone is intimidated by PC, scared of standing up and saying why they are standing up, telling the truth without mincing words and so-forth.

Once, a very wise friend of mine told me simply, “When manners take a back-seat, when public discourse becomes crude, when people feel that they no longer have a voice in affairs of their native country, that is the time to focus on what ugliness is really coming down the road.”
