It’s terrible and I honestly don’t know what we can do...but I think we’ll know when the time comes, and then we have to be ready to go through with it.
I was watching the English series “The Tudors,” and one of the things was that the Pilgrimage of Grace (Northern Englishmen who wanted the restoration of the monasteries, a cessation of attacks upon them for their religion, etc.) believed the deceitful promises of Henry VIII and laid down their arms - before getting control of cities they could easily have controlled and where many people were on their side. This was because it was essentially a religious movement, whose leaders (who died under torture later) eschewed violence and were desperate to prove themselves loyal citizens.
So I think that our biggest danger is the fact that everybody knows that we are so peaceful and law abiding that even falsely claiming that we are hostile throws us into a tizzy and makes us retreat.
I’m not sure how this should be handled, because Bambi and the Dems only respond to fear - but I’m not sure we’re capable of generating that fear, because the thing that plays against us in their minds is that we are law abiding and are good Americans.
You are so right, and Dennis Miller was touching on this last night. The Left tried to engender fear immediately after 9/11 that there would be a backlash and muslims in the U.S. would be targeted and killed. As Dennis (and I) recalled, only one mistakenly i.d.’d Sikh grocer in AZ was shot. Dennis mentioned how amazing this was given how we had been attacked. The Left is using the same fear meme now, but it’s more like a taunt: “Bring it on!!” Didn’t zer0 actually say that in Iowa yesterday??
I think we are actually being ridiculed for being the peaceful ones with class. But how much can we gain by continuing in this way?
