we are also a large family and when one was threatened all and friends would be near by only if needed as in the case of THEM all jumping in - not to take on 1 .
This was not a fair fight or anything close to one and does not illustrate conservative values.
I love this story. You work with the army you have.
She used brains and brawn and PROVED the principle of “We win, you lose” which is the only way to destroy liberalism.
And it MUST be pulverized.
Exactly
I tend to agree, Much of this seemed over the top. How about this story:
Little Mikey and Danny were in a class together and were told that if they can complete a couple of assignments by the end of the class they could get a candy bar. Well, Mikey worked and worked and by the end of the class had completed the needed assignments and as the teacher promised was given a nice chocolate candy bar.
Danny on the other hand didn’t receive anything and was sad but the teacher said he shouldn’t have spent all his time playing after recess but like Mikey sat down to do the assignments, but not to worry tomorrow is another day.
So on the way home from school Mikey opened up his candy bar to enjoy the fruits of his labor when Danny came by and asked him to share some. Mikey said he’d like to but the candy bar was a small one and there was barely enough for him. Danny not liking that answer reached in and snatched some of the candy bar anyway. After quickly stuffing it in his mouth with a smile he walked away yep he thought, tomorrow IS another day.
Need I explain which one is which?

As my drill instructors told us over and over again - in battle, there are the winners and there are the dead. The same philosophy was used to raise our children.
Rules in any kind of battle are for the dead. Read my tagline. If that’s not conservative, I’d rather stand with George Patton, Chesty Puller, Lew Walt and others espousing similar sentiments.
Very bad. It reads like it was written by a liberal.
Not very fond of this article. Disappointing.
Boys compete against boys, girls compete against girls - for precisely this reason.
Had the school done what they should have done at the start, none of this would have happened.
If she were willing to accept the consequences of her actions, then the story was different. But that’s not the case here. If she were willing to compete against the boys, then she should be willing to go the distance.
Mike is strangely silent as to the motivation of the brothers. It’s not “protect your family”, but rather “protect the girl”. Why? Because that’s what boys do.
Yep, that’s for sure. Disappointed. Mike can do much better.
Mafia thinking. Also LaRaza thinking: For the Raza, everything. For those outside the Raza, nothing.
You're copacetic until you brush up against a bigger clan with automatic weapons and a zeal to practice their small-unit tactics on somebody.
I really thought this was an excellent story. It describes how one ought to compete and how to deal with bullies. Reminded me a bit of the beat the bully teacher scene in “How Green was my Valley.”
He tried to ignore it, etc. But we could tell something bothered him. When he told us, we told him to tell the teacher - but he didn't want to be the snitch. So then we told him to pray about it, and he did. Even to the point of praying FOR the bully.
After awhile my son decided to tell the teacher, but only if he could remain anonymous. The teacher had thought something had been going on with the bully (with previous kids too) - but wasn't sure.
She waited until she caught him in the act of bullying, and had a meeting with the parents. (When she called the father, the father said “I can't come in - that's my wife's job to take care of that kind of stuff”. The teacher replied - “No. As the man of the house - YOU are responsible for the discipline of your child”.
The kid shaped up, got some counseling I think, and he and my son are now pretty good friends! However, if it comes to physical fights or abuse, my kids are allowed to fight to defend themselves - or to defend their siblings or friends.
Agreed. We should defend ourselves.
Where we are going to run into a problem selling our vision of a once-again smaller, strictly Constitutional government is somehow entwined with our religious and moral lives. After all, I belong to a church in which "liberals," and "conservatives," profess the same beliefs and pray with each other and for each other.
If you listen to the "news" on NPR, you'll see what I mean. The Left somehow has been allowed to assume a position of moral superiority. In the end, I believe that will not work for them, because it is not a an "American" trait. In fact, it angers sensible, moral people to be told that their way is wrong and that an elite has all the answers. In religious terms, the Left feels they are the "Elect;" "A Chosen People," to whom others are subject. That won't wash ... from either side.
