When your father is a big, mean, violent, alcoholic who beats your mother, you and your sisters with regularity, and the sound of his voice, footsteps, or car coming up the drive, makes your heart race – this creates a certain mentality. You can either duplicate it, succumb to victimhood, or never surrender, and work to ensure no one else every experiences such tyranny.
Turns out credibly promising to kill such people changes their temperament radically. It worked for me. It has worked throughout history. It is in man’s nature.
We need fear none. We need show no mercy. We need offer no forgiveness. Yet we need to rely upon reason not wrath. Anger defeats the mind, and tires the body. And we need all the will and energy we have.
Someone reminded me today that the left never had their Nuremberg Trials.
Well now, that’s a goal for us, isn’t it?
