The Leftists have no honor and seek power only. This turning of the other cheek does not work in preserving of the republic. Reformation is on the horizon again...

Is the defining measurement based on the eternal "laws of nature and of nature's God", or; is such understanding enforced by/from carnal god's demonic religious ideologies? Reply E Archer, NYC Mike, Norwalk 11/9/25 True, without a 'right' view of 'good' and 'bad' this quote supports any action whether right or not. Take the progressive activism constantly at work because silence is considered submission. That being said, there is too much complacency IMO among those that could rightfully counter the assaults of 'progressive' liberals (i.e. Marxists).
