The high ground is useful in war only in defense. To win, you have to attack, and that means going into the valley.

I believe that leftists need to be brutally crushed, and stomped out of existence.

The term I prefer to now use is ...

TERMINATE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE

Oh, sure. Civility is the Bush’s bad mouthing Trump and Marco Rube talking about penis size. Screw civility. Bury it deep and break it off.

He’s right. Whichever side appears more unhinged loses.

Congressional fist fights would be entertaining.

I have been hearing this claptrap my whole life. The left needs to be confronted aggressively.

I’m with you. The media are our greatest enemies. They should be first on the firing line.

“Trump can, and most often does, fight back effectively, but he can also get into juvenile rhetoric.”

One battle he has won: name calling:

Crooked Hillary, Little Marco, Pocahontas, Cryin’ Chuck....

The left has always been the one utilizing that tactic, Trump has turned it around and left them shell-shocked.

What damage to our side has the likes of Maxine Waters

Has Mad Maxine cast even ONE vote in Congress that did not damage these United States?

I believe that al_c may have meant: "What damage to our side have the natterings of Maxine Waters and her ilk inflicted?"

I agree that we Conservatives should fight back - at the ballot box.

Regards,

I fought in the first Gulf War.
I am for fighting exactly that way.

The red hen is a win for us. the woman who owns it resigned from a business board, her restaurant is closed until july 5 because of protestors, so she loses all that business. She may lose more when she reopens.

Yes, for her the short-term pleasure is not worth the long-term pain. The left is so short-sighted.

It’s all well and good to be dignified and try to stand above the fray but if we don’t stand up to these Brownshirt Leftists then they’ll continue to rampage through the streets and intimidate people into ceding power. Trump has it right that when they hit him he hits back twice as hard. No more wimpy Republicrat whining, real leadership is sometimes making the choice to fight back and to win, not to come to some negotiated settlement. That only keeps the animosities simmering. What would have happened if someone stood up to the Brownshirts, the Communist mobs, the Maoists, the Iranian “students”? The world would have been a much better place. The Dems and their Antifa allies are waging street wars and have to be stopped early.

Agreed. Do not provoke or incite - only defend or respond.
Stay classy and be a Conservative.

But if you punch me you might get shot.

There is a time for peace and a time for war. We are undergoing a silent coup via weaponized population, just like Europe is. It’s time to wake the heck up and recognize it as such.

Even in the Liberal’s favorite book TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, Atticus has to shoot the rabid dog.

“I think much of the apoplexy on the left is due to the right changing behavior and fighting back. They’re absolutely unaccustomed to it and want it to stop.

Trump fights back and they sure as heck didn’t expect it, don’t know how to deal with it, and wish it would stop.

In an attempt to find a winning strategy, the left is simply fighting dirtier and more dangerously and then blaming the right for fighting back LOL.

I think they’ve made a seriously bad miscalculation. We are over it. It’s on. This is the end of the road. Buckle up.”

Hit the nail on the head.
