Kurt Schlichter: There’s a great scene in the movie Witness where a bunch of bullies start picking on some Amish farmers, and then they pick on Harrison Ford, who is sporting Extreme Mennonite drag. They knock off his straw hat, laugh at him, and then he beats the crap out of them.
The bullies are shocked, stunned, and bewildered. Why, he’s not supposed to fight back! Why, the Amish, they’re better than that! But Harrison’s not. As his buddy says, he’s from Ohio.
I am not better than that either. How about you?
Because today, being “better than that” means being willing to allow other people to control you by defining you, and the definition is always “a pushover.” You’re supposed to be “conservative,” our conservasuperiors tell us, and we must therefore rigidly adhere to their precious “conservative principles.” But these bear no resemblance to real principles, much less conservative ones.
Allow me to sum up these fake principles: Don’t ever fight.
As has been said previously by those more intelligent than me:
“And this is why Trump won – conservatives tired of being walked all over found someone who will get in the mud and destroy the enemy on their own terms.” (add: and that quite handily). 🙂
I have noticed over the last thirty years or so that this VERY TOXIC LESSON is being pushed by public schools and by most single mothers of boys.
The pushing of the belief that pacifism is moral and that fighting back “makes you just as bad as they are”, or that “violence never solved anything” is somehow part of the system’s plan to control you.
Sometime you just have to get violent and punch the other guy right in the nose to shut him up.
Ignoring the bullies is the absolute worst possible thing you can do, yet that concept is pushed by every public school in the land.
They don’t care if your kid is bullied into suicide, it’s less paperwork for them.
They really do hate you and they really do want you dead.
“Apparently, the going rate for professional conservatives is thirty pieces of silver and a byline in American Pravda. ”
Million dollar quote right there.
Don’t bring me movies on this stuff. MJA, why do you present movies as reality in this battle.
Kurt Schlichter means YOU, George Will!
@ anon – think Breitbart, your strategy is incorrect if I may.
MJA – great movie.
Older guy (‘old guard’) at the end of the clip says
“never seen anything like this”.
Yeah, come to think of it…Old Guard/Media… me neither.

I had a brainstorm this morning. It was as simple as it could possibly be.
Two things:
When responding to a anti-American (Leftist, anti-Trump, RINO’s, etc.): “What you say sounds like a personal problem that has nothing to do with me. So why are you telling me this?” It’s a universal utility response to any statement one of those people might make. Don’t let them put their monkey on your back. “It’s (whatever it is) your problem. Sorry.”
Second thing: If you get a chance sometime listen to C.S. Lewis’s “Why I am Not a Pacifist”. It was a WWII radio talk that he gave to the people of England.
@ AA: I still have to wonder if those fools are born that stupid or if they have to be intensively trained.
I’m getting the sense that it’s getting really close to Darwin time – and I hope, at age 77, that I live long enough to see the results.
I know all this goes on somewhere and I’m bombarded daily with news about it. I have never been confronted or threatened here where I live. They exist here too {voting shows that} but they don’t have the numbers to try any bullying.
Thats what cowards do, bully people when they have an unfair advantage.
I wish at times someone would try their luck because they really piss me off.

Say it loud !
I’m right and I’m proud of it.
Your problems are not mine, I refuse to accept the blame for school shootings, or for your bigotry and racism.
It’s driving the left nutz now that we are using their rules against them.
We finally got our hands on their playbook.
@Dr Riff, EXACTLY!!
The polite society of the elitists (who aren’t so polite when disobeyed) have all been castrated in exchange for their 30 (million) pieces of silver.
I traveled this weekend, and I enjoyed listening to a lot of radio talking heads whine about the NFL “caving.” But what happened to the NFL wasn’t the application of “new rules,” it was an example of old rules coming back.
The NFL is a business, and they can have whatever lawful rules they want; however, they cannot force the public to consume their product. The NFL decided they wanted to allow a few players to protest during the national anthem, and a lot of the paying public decided to spend their entertainment dollars elsewhere. The NFL “caved” because they know that once people get used to ignoring football, it is very difficult to get those customers back. These aren’t new rules; they are tried and true old rules under which the NFL learned that the public doesn’t need their product.
There is another old rule as well – overall, there are far more conservatives than liberals, although the liberals are far louder. Companies who rely on voluntary customer patronage may want to keep this in mind.
As long as you’re paying income tax and that tax is being used for leftist causes then you’re putting up with their shit and allowing other people to control you.
Let them throw the first punch.
After that anything you do is
self defense.

That’s where you’re wrong. Traitors hire Patriots™ (whom none dare call traitors) to extort you. To threaten you. To bully you. And to rob you. This they must succeed at, as the Patriots™ contract with the traitors only allows them to split what they take from you. Traitors don’t pay. That’s not who they are. Patriots™… well we know who Patriots™ are. Courageous™ Men™, Good™ Men™, Men™ whose baby mommas would be proud of them, know what Patriots™ are. (The rest of you are just deplorable.)
Someone attacks you, you fight back – unless you’re a yellabelly coward.
