Too long a time has gone since someone posted a qoute of Heinlein’s.

“Morals – all correct moral rules – derive from the instinct to survive; moral behavior is survival above the individual level – as in the father dying to save his children.”

or why not

“Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.”

Capiche?

VICTORY ONLY VICTORY

Capiche, f*ck-stain?

You are free to leave this country at any time.

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Johnny’s waving bye-bye to ya.

Quite frankly, none of you people treading on this man’s memory is worthy of living here for the simple fact that you do not respect the blood, sweat and other toils not to mention their very lives freely given by other repsonsible indiviuals so you may have a free place to live. Is it truly free? Hell, no. But I would much rather live here than any where else. I like my garbage being picked up, my mail delivered, health care when I need it and the fire and police departments!

If Somalia is so f*cking great, go live there. I have friends in the service and my grandfathers served WW2.

Go hit the bong again, assholes.

So, you are on the side of the immoral? I wouldn’t brag about it.

“Free societies need a middle class committed to liberalism.”

So, what’s wrong with Nick trying to win a few converts with strong arguments?

When enough people get sick and tired of tax slavery, they’ll refuse to work. Then your whole plantation will collapse.

Really, roach, do you enjoy paying your taxes? How about paying mine too? Because I don’t see the worth in it. I get very little for what I pay out.

Or what? You’ll whine. All of this anarchic/libertarian nonsesne is just moralizing. There is no reason it should be persuasive to those that disagree with you. We’ll still “steal” your wages and you’ll do nothing about it.

Free societies need a middle class committed to liberalism. Instead libertarians encoruage us to import more poor people, and we get FDR, matricula consulars, bilingual education, reconquista, and the 9/11 terrorists. But at least you can be purists!

I did change my mind once. I was one signature away from going to the Air Force Academy. Then I realized that my individual life was worth more to me whole than the sacrificing my life for some flaghumping drill seargent or some notion of “duty to country”.

Pat Tillman lived his life how he saw fit. I will live my life how I see fit.

Thanks for the psychological evaluation. But you are wrong. And your anger clouds your reasoning ability. I grew up poor. I was raised by a mother who very loving and who encouraged me to read and think for myself. Yes I did get punched in the mouth in middle school for being smart. But I defended myself with words, and when those failed, fists.
I am not afraid to fight, but I realize that violence and war rarely settle anything.

You can have your “offensive” war and manufacture your dead heroes like Pat Tillman. Just don’t steal my wages to finance it and don’t expect me to bathe in your flag humping patriotism.

O.K., but not by me. Terror is a tactic; it’s hard to win a “war on a tactic”. And, soldiers make cruddy policemen.

Lucky for you that in a democracy you don’t need to change his mind, you can just bill him anyway.

There is obviously no changing the minds of people like Nick. Our nation is at war. We have been attacked by Islamic radialism, and the discourse and debate on how to react is tearing this country apart. This is not about “American Empire”. It is about survival. Unfortunately our world is such that only the strong projection of force can win. Being “nice” or giving up our wealth to other nations will not bring us peace. Only through the defeat of our enemies can true peace be achieved.
