If violence isn't the way?
Posted on 1/9/21 at 9:46 pm

Then what is?
Was there a non-violent or political way to overcome Hitler and the 3rd Reich?
I certainly don't want to see my children grow up in a world of violence in the streets of our community but the left wants to eradicate us and our way of life.
What is the non-violent answer?

There’s no nonviolent answer, but you can’t post about this online.

“Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum. And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.” Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits–not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. “
Ronald Reagan

EVERYTHING in politics is backed up by violence at the end of the day. Stating the obvious would get us banned and arrested though.

I'll do my part by satirizing the powerful

Winning public opinion is the way. Violence only needs to happen when we are actually physically met with violence. Study the 15-20 years leading up the the American Revolution. Anyone attempting violence will be out down immediately by fsr superior force and will be used as crisis to shove sh*t down our throats.
Ss for the Nazis, they actually weren't very popular until the early 30's. The Nazis staged the Reichtag fire to blame the opposition. Public opinion went back to the Nazis.
There may come a time to fight, but right now we have to bring the middle over to our side. But not sure violence and militias will interest them much.That will give MSM all the cover they need.

You are definitely right Burger Bearcat, I dont understand the lefts need to force this issue. Why can't they just live and let live?
The only thing that makes any sense to me is that they represent pure evil.
I think a lot of the middle are beginning to wake up. This stunt being pulled right now with the censorship is going backfire.
In the end I pray we achieve a peaceful and non violent resolution but I feel there are elements on the left that crave a violent scenario.

Have you watched the news in the past 24 hours? I mean the liberal mainstream media? If you can't see the parallels then I pray for you.

I also hope and pray that you adopt a positive attitude about this. It doesn't do any good to imagine the worst. Plus the worst hardly ever happens.
