77. Maybe lefties should quit bringing biodegradable sporks to gunfights

News flash: Having a progressive outlook doesn't mean your strength is as the strength of ten because your heart is pure.

And non-violent civil disobedience doesn't work against people who won't scruple to kill you if you act too uppity.

Sid Hatfield, Mother Jones, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert F. Williams, and the miners of Harlan County, Kentucky are a few examples of progressives and working class Americans who understood this.

Learn from them.

We should never incite or initiate violence, but if violence is used against us we have the right to defend ourselves
in a proportionate manner.
