Does the Right have the balls for an Actual War?

[tostado22]

That's what I was saying, in fewer words. I don't hold it against anyone for not joining. But to sit back and hulk smash their keyboard about crusading against radical Islam after we've been openly fighting extremists for 15+ YEARS just makes them look like huge tools. It's the same as the guys who never leave high school in their heads, always talking about what would have happened if coach had just put him in. Instead of the stud QB that actually put the effort in all season, before the big game.

In fact I want to add what I wrote and then deleted.

How many people do you know that carry concealed that believe that makes them a "lethal weapon"? .

Like all the "invitation stickers" I see on vehicles, inviting someone to "come and take it." Not the place for overt advertisement IMO.

I actually have a retaliative through marriage, wife's cousin or second cousin, either way; decent guy, but boy is he just to much for himself at times.

We actually got into a debate on evening, he is a "pro-gunner" who used to conceal and carry. To quote him: "Revolvas only, all them fancy shmancy autos just jam when you're lie depends on it. Everytime!" (God forbid you contest that point with any sort of logic).

He claims: He quit carrying because: "Who am I to play god?"

Yeah... After that comment, I was very GLAD he doesn't carry anymore.

Same guy who was going to go show me his shooting pit 6 years ago when the wife and I had just started dating and still hasn't shown me to date. Also, I have never seen any firearms of his, but he claims to have owned a few ARs and such over the years. The only firearm I have seen of his is a broken down 12ga auto that sits on a rack in the garage not being used. Beautiful broken gun, shame to just sit unused. He wouldn't even let me repair it for the giggles.

Long story short, not only do I agree that the training aspect has a big part in all utilization, but the lethal-ability of a person and their weapon seems to never correspond with their level of ego when it comes to actually carrying it.

This was only a couple hundred years ago- not centuries ago

snicker...

Maybe millennia?

I look at it the other way, the Germans that did the Holocaust, the Russian's in the Great Purge, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and all the other 20th Century genocides people were not any different than you or me. So unless some leftist wants to say that we are somehow genetically or culturally superior to those people, those horrible things can happen again, quickly, here this time.

I voted yes but as of right now there is zero reason to do anything except watch the left's slow decline into madness. Provided that Trump doesn't massively screw up or the economy implodes, conservatives are one state away from holding a Constitutional convention and are set to expand our majority in the Senate in 2018 because the democrats are defending 25 seats and the Republicans only 8. Although the protests and occasional riot are concerning, at the end of the day they are only burning down their own stuff and hurting their communities like Berkeley or Portland. They are not going into conservative communities to start trouble and instead are simply throwing bricks into Starbucks windows and other stupid stuff like that.

Although conservative should mainly be focused on big issues, I do think we should occasionally troll the leftists to encourage them to display their madness. For example when we catch illegals who are wanted for violent crimes, we should have a huge media event with big beautiful planes flying them back to Mexico.

Despite what the mainstream media claims, for every one person who thinks protests and rioting is ok, there are probably 2 or 3 people that are disgusted by it and will vote against them.

I think the last time around the "right" showed it had the required balls to do what was needed.

The difference between the right, and I dint mean the Molon Lane, III% wanna be types is that we tend to exhaust every legal method before deciding that enough is enough. The protesting left just throws temper tantrums and breaks shit. Then asks everyone else to fix it for them.

I think there is enough critical mall on both sides to fight. Aside from the temper tantrums, both sides are not letting loose. Thankfully.

The lack of DD214s says no.

I understand the military isn't for everyone and don't lose any respect for anyone who chooses not to enlist. But damn it gets old seeing the same types of people, the "well I mean yeah I would have but ________. Man if those ISIS guys ever come over here, I tell ya what" types.

Three guys I went to HS with just got matching III% tattoos. I think they could have gotten the same message across by having an all dude three way gangbang in the middle of the road and saved some money.

Oh my Jesus......I know of a few other geniuses that are into the homosexual III% BS.

Military recruiters are at the mall, Police and Sheriffs are downtown. Go fill out some forms

"But Ah Haet the Gubmint!"

Join the club, buddy.

"But Ah might get pissed and whip sumbody's ass fer yellin' at me"

I'm willing to take that chance, bucko

...I watched who was making a video of himself fast drawing from conceal while standing 6 inches from one of those "thug" targets. The guy was standing there, looking for butterflies or clowns in the clouds, (apparently because you are going to draw a weapon and shoot someone, you don't actually look at them, you look at the clouds instead. ) Then, when the thug target threatened him, he pulled his concealed weapon out....
And shot himself in the leg. With a .45 no less. I'm sure some of you have seen it. I think it was posted on a "Dumbest....something." on the forum. IMO.

Tex Grebner? Leeroy Jenkins personified.

I'm more worried about foreign state actors taking advantage any strife that might arise.

Hell no the right does not have balls for a civil war. Neither side does. Hell, neither side almost has balls to not even get out and vote. If I remember right, I think less than half of the country voted this last election. If they can't get off their asses even go vote, there's no way in hell they'll take up arms.

If things ever did go to shit, I think you'll see areas just be picked up and controlled by Warlords, or people of power. Our version of tribalism I guess. But it'll be very localized. You'll never have a full on right versus left deal.

People will just want to take care of themselves, on both sides, assuming Society completely breaks down. It won't be so much Politics as right versus left, it'll be more but who controls resources. There could be a skirmish here and there, but a unified unified? no way.

I say, let's not find out. I know enough girls from Bosnia when I was in college, and a guy that I grew up that was a ranger during the Bosnian conflict, to know that that shit's completely ****ed. We don't want any of that noise.

I corrected that post by the way but thanks for pointing that out.

That's just it though, I honestly thought that if we had to endure another eight years of Socialists running the country- that we'd actually see some sparks fly. People were buying up guns and gear for the past eight years just waiting for the shoe to drop. Thank God we did exactly what our founding father's wanted us to do and that is, have a free election, allow the process to work itself out. Good triumphed over evil and the one thing our nation has that very few others have- is that we were founded with the idea of being a free people. We will not be ruled by tyrants. That is why the Socialists are trying so hard to destroy us because the very thought of a free thinking people, a people that put their nation first- is a threat to their globalist rule. The United States is the only remaining free country in the world. All of Europe has fallen to Socialism in one form or another. We are the last free people on this planet.

It's going to come down to the right realizing they have nothing to lose (freedom, job, quality of life) if/when the govt collapses or the police can't protect us from BLM, Antifa, Muslim terrorists, etc....
