You didn’t say anything about appeasement, you indicated that appeasement would be better.

And I didn’t start dissenting immediately. Perhaps it is you who is so recent to the discovery of losing liberty.

You personally, are a liar.

Outright.

Huge tea parties across the nation, one of which filled the Washington DC mall with more people than Obonghit's inauguration preceded this.

There has been no "immediately through violence".

What do you mean “immediately?” I don’t know when you arrived on the planet but I’ve been trying to play by their rules for the past 75 years and look where it’s gotten me. That’s the problem with being a “conservative,” we tend to obey the rules even if it hurts. For the past twenty or so years we’ve been trying to tell the liberals that we were getting tired of backing up... that someday we would get pushed too far. No one believed us. Hell, few believe us now.

You’ve got kids so you should know that continually threatening them with some form of punishment for improper behavior doesn’t do any good unless you occasionally carry through on your threat and warm their little butts. Government is the same way. All those years of threats don’t amount to anything unless they (the government) has some sort of object lesson to refer to.

Just between you and me I think a concerted campaign resulting in a bunch of broken windows is a whole lot better than broken bodies and lives. Still, even a cursory inspection of history will show that - bumper-sticker philosophy to the contrary - violence DOES solve problems. Instead of calling us “goonish” in an effort to bolster your own self-image, perhaps you should applaud those who try to avert real carnage by breaking a few windows.
