Says the guy that's been here since last December........the irony......
The problem is we are targets and the government ain't gonna do anything about it.
Hell, we don't even protest against getting killed...... We just go back to work the next day with our tails between our legs and continue to pay our taxes....
250 some years ago, we would have killed a bunch of red coats. Now, we sit idle while we conservatives get murdered.
How many of us have been murdered this year now by the lefties? How many have been mowed down in the past few years by crazy liberals, or shot in schools, or shot in churches and left to bleed out.
But yes, let's keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome. That's the definition of insanity folks.

No one is saying that violence is never justified, which is just another way of saying that nothing is worth fighting for and sacrificing your life for. Just judging by the number of veterans who have taken the oath, are in this community, and who shoot matches I'd say that's false on it's face.
What we are saying that the murder of Charlie Kirk is not the spark that lights the fuse. This is especially true because of his testimony, and his core belief that in a free exchange of ideas his ideas (our ideas) will win. His whole trajectory was to debate and talk and not resort to violence. Calling for a civil war because he was murdered is not just wrong. It dishonors his memory and his hopes for his brothers and sisters, and if you've ever watched him debate it is abundantly clear that he considered all Americans to be his brothers and sisters, and he wanted them to repent, not to die. His funeral was exactly what he was about, and his wife forgiving the assassin through anger and tears is the highest expression of the message of Jesus Christ, who was and is at the center of Charlie Kirk's world.
The left will get power again. Some of the Trump administration's court victories and policies may be turned against us and against the Republic, as cancel culture is somewhat being turned against the radical left. No one can see the future. There may be a time to fight with more than words, but it isn't now, and IMO this administration and the people in it are moving further away from that point and not towards it. That's why the inartful comments of Bondi and the FFC head were troubling to those on the right who are not the targets of it. We remember how the Obama/Biden Administrations attacked free speech, and we don't want to repeat their mistakes tit for tat. Never forget that the Biden administration proposed a real life Ministry of Truth with no sense of irony at all. It's like the entire left has never read any literature about totalitarianism or fascism at all as they hurl their insults and projections instead of looking in the mirror at what a real, totalitarian fascist looks like.
If your reality doesn't jibe with the shared one we all experience you are going to be violent, because only the insane will buy into it, and you are never going to go very far in a Republic. If your reality aligns with our shared one then talk and debate is the way to go, and our fight is at the ballot box and not in the streets like ANTIFA.
