What was
the last war won on defense alone?
How about a
football game? Baseball? Basketball?
Soccer?
If the
answer is “none” (and it IS, BTW), then I have a question:
What makes
you think that the fight to preserve our Constitution, the fight to preserve
our freedom, our liberty, our NATION, can be won by defense, alone?
Don’t get
me wrong: defense is EXTREMELY important. A boxer in the ring can be as strong
and fast as any of the greatest, but if he can’t defend himself, he will lose.
Period.
Offense AND
defense are equals in importance. One cannot win without relative measures of
both.
So, I’ll
ask:
If we
Conservatives spend all our time on the defense, how can we reasonably expect
to win this war of ideologies?
To be
blunt: we can’t.
I applaud
the efforts of so many Americans, who are speaking up, countering lies, getting
the truth out. We are engaged, right now, in the fight to preserve our
Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence; those
documents that serve as the foundation for the greatest country in history. Our
freedoms, our liberty, our prosperity are rooted in the principles contained
within those documents and defended by not only our military forces, but all of
us as well.
Defense is
not enough.
Be on the
attack. ALWAYS advance. Put THEM on the defense.
Want to
understand the proper frame of mind? Take a lesson from General George S.
Patton, addressing the Third Army:
“When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just
stays there all day, a Boche will get him eventually. The hell with that. My men
don't dig foxholes. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. We'll win
this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and showing the Germans that we've
got more guts than they have or ever will have. We're not just going to shoot
the bastards, we're going to rip out their living goddamned guts and use them
to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun
cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket.”
