They don’t understand one thing about us. We are goofy, overtolerant, trusting, and filled with guilt for our success.
But, we can turn mean really fast. They will succeed in taking away our comforts, our store shelves may get less full, and perhaps our bellies will too. And then, we stop being Mr Nice Guy and turn back into the people that tamed the west, slaughtered the indians, bought slaves, and crushed the Nazis. They just don’t know nice it was to have fat, complacent Americans living in this world, but they will learn what lean Americans can do to them.
That’s true. Americans tend to take a hiatus or two after changing the world for the better with our blood.
Our enemies *foreign* should take heed that even liberals are arming themselves... that represents a mindset change.
I think your post #2 is right on target. They don’t know what they’re stirring up.
