Pacifism vs hypocricy

Posted in response to this message, Christian Nelson writes,

My wife's grandfather was a concientious objector during WW2. Her father was during Vietnam. I respect both of them. They served thier country in other ways when they were up for the draft. Her grandfather worked in a lumber camp for the years he would have served for the government. He simply didn't want to kill anyone. He didn't take to the streets, block traffic, start fights with police officers about it.

Her father did the same during Vietnam, he was drafted, they had him milk testing for the government. They both were true pacifists, and I respect them for it. when was the last time you saw Menonites, or Amish serving in the military? When have you seen them mounting massive protests, and causing riots? When have you seen them block traffic when the nation was at war because they don't think killing is right? You see, real pacifists who really don't agree with violence don't commit violence in order to draw attention to themselves.

You see, there is a difference between not suppporting an action, and directly subverting your neighbors, and family who are prepared to die for your wellbeing.

There's a difference between not liking war, and fighting with national guard troops, and burning draft cards "sticking it to the man"..

There is a difference between reporting news that happens, and having contacts with subversives who give you tipoffs of when heinous crimes will be committed so you can get a good story, and maybe some good photos of it.

What I am talking about is the fact that peace, and social responsibility are not the true motives of these very outspoken and in your face people. They use these issues to legitimize thier actions, and to cover over thier true motives.

They are not nice people, they don't care about others, or the environment, they want USA to fall, and they want socializm to take root. The point I am trying to make is, they use anything they can to destroy or disparage the USA, and hide behind freedom of speech, and press, and pretend they have some moral superiority for being an "activist".

Intruth, they are petty violent subversives, who really should be inprisoned. Not for disagreeing, not for daring to have a different oppinion, not for trying to make a positive change about something they believe in, but for the people they hurt, for the crimes they commit, and for the damage they do, they should pay.

Our military is essential for our continued existence, they fight to reduce it to insignificance, while attempting to limit 2nd ammendment freedoms, and hope that someday, we will lose and be "cut down to size". This isn't about priorities, it is about weakening the enemy. That is thier goal. My priority is to help out whomever I can. I have strong religeous convictions about that. I don't need the government to do it for me by taking my money from me. I don't feel better if the government forces others who aren't generous to give either.

I see through the charade, they don't care about the poor. They don't care about the environment. what they want to do is bog the USA government down in domestic and humanitarian issues, to the point that they cannot defend them selves from attack.

Americans are generous, we give more money (I am not talking about official government gifts only here) and aid of our own free wills than any other nation in existence, and history, yet we are told we don't do enough. we don't give enough, we are too strong, we polute too much..

All it is is a smoke screen for weakening us so they can attack..
