Simply. It is not longer the same game. Splits are huge at this point, it's not “hail good fellow well met, although I diplomatically disagree...” anymore, and it's not going to go back there. Lines have been crossed.

We can be nice and above it all, but at some point you have to fight fire with fire. The left has to be made to understand that there are consequences for bad behavior. Perhaps if we do stand up and show a little bit of disgust in the form of verbal “back at you”, a message with be sent. That message is long overdue. This is about our country, it's not about being nice, showing “class” or being above it all.

If that troubles you, then leave it to those of us who will stand up and say “no more”. You can remain above it all.

There it is there, kudos to you.

“Lines have been crossed.”

Now that is true.

China has a problem with Uighurs. Uighurs are met with real, hard military force. No press to speak of. End of story. The US sends Uighurs trained by OBL to the Bahamas or some such.

Jews, Christians and conservatives are in the crosshairs now. To think we wouldn’t be killed if we held up peace signs or made nice or wore some symbol is pure delusion.

You don’t win by dying for your country. You win by making the other guy die for his country (Patton).
