You know..the funny thing about this article is...
If you substitute the word Moron for Pacifist...It reads just as clearly...LOL

Bump.

Believe me, they wouldn't be pacifists once they conquered us. They would be as much terrorists as the taliban.

How many preaching bellicism would accept life as a conquered people?

History shows that the writer does need to be careful. As we saw in the 60's and more recently in Seattle, Washington DC and Genoa, Italy, these alleged "pacifists" are perfectly willing to resort to violence to prove they are peaceful. From rioting to setting cars and buildings on fire to planting bombs that kill innocent bystanders, the "peace" movement is capable of much violence for they were then, are now, and will ever be: liars, frauds and hypocrites.

How many pacifists would be willing to accept the logical outcome of their creed of nonviolence even in face of attack — life as a conquered people? Not many, I would think. How many want the (mostly lower-class) men and women of the United States armed forces to continue to fight so that they may enjoy the luxury of preaching against fighting? Nearly all, I would think.

Very good piece. Thanks for posting it.

OK, I'll bite. I looked up "bellicism," possible roots, and variant spellings in two different dictionaries and found nothing. What the hell does it mean?

[xsmommy]

been serving as a sort of kvetch basin for all sorts of unhappy people who like to yell about the awfulness of “Amerika” or international corporations or rich people or people who drive large cars or drug companies that test their products on bunny rabbits or life its own unfair self.

I love this! "kvetch basin", what a great phrase! i loved the original article and applaud him for the even stronger follow up.

Yes, by "jackass" I do mean you reading this. In what sense are you free, moron?

Imbecile, I've seen your other posts. Slither back to goebbels.com.

I think he meant:

bel·li·cose (bl-ks) adj.
Warlike in manner or temperament; pugnacious. See Synonyms at belligerent.

I have a feeling as this goes on they will do all that here but then they will have started a war too with the US and anything goes. They are actually trying now to get more military killed by making the US seem weak and divided.

[American pacifists are]...future slaves

I couldn't disagree more.

First of all, Americans will never let that happen regardless of how much they ask for and deserve such a fate.

Secondly, their self imposed ignorance makes their slavery very much current.

[GailA]

Not only are they the gun grabers, they are the eco terrorist, and pro-abortion baby killers.

Patrick Henry's words hold true today as they held true when he and the rest of the Founding Fathers fought for our liberty and freedom. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me LIBERTY or give me death.

I think it would depend greatly on who it was that conqured them. There are many countries in the world where a lot of Americans would see little difference.

[Poohbah]

I believe it was George Orwell who said something to the effect that "the only reason you can sleep soundly at night is that rough men stand ready to do violence on your behalf."

BUMP!

All your freedom are belong to us!

Could be. Thanks. I know what bellicose is. What do you expect from someone who make "Baldwin" part of their posting name.
