Everybody loves kumbaya, but we live in a real world. Wake up cupcake.

Once again, I am somewhat displeased to read Betsy's Page.  A supposed conservative, or shall we say, a "moderate".

Of course we would all like everybody to get along.  But there are people who need to be confronted.

It seems that many on the so-called "right" liked Ronald Reagan when he stood up to the Soviet Union.  Yet, many of these same people cannot bring themselves to seeing that there is a principle involved.  When someone acts aggressively, there is a need to respond.

You don't act like Dan Quayle, who said "that's was uncalled for, Senator", when Bentsen took a cheap shot at him.  Frankly, it would have been satisfying to watch Dan Quayle walk across to Bentsen and punch him in the nose.  Quayle was a gentleman, but that didn't cause him to win the debate.  The Democrats made a mockery of Quayle from that point on.

But to punch out Bentsen would have been so uncivilized.  When somebody breaks the bond of mutual consent that we need to live in a civilized society, and acts aggressively like Bentsen did, and which liberals do a lot of, then an aggressive response is necessary.  Otherwise, you look weak.  Weak people do not assume leadership positions.  That is the real world.

But if everybody is nice, that sure would be nice.  Yes, it would!  But not everybody is nice.  When the other side gets mean, you better be ready to defend yourself.

If Trump didn't defend himself, he would have been dismissed as a light weight, just like Quayle.  It is necessary for him to do what he does because the left makes it necessary.  Evidently, people like Betsy Newmark just don't get it.

The left uses aggression because they profit from it.  Until there is a penalty for them, they will continue to do it.  There is only one way to make them stop, and that is to respond in kind to their aggression.

That is why Trump is necessary.
