Scene from the film "Witness": The Amish Way v. John Book's way

 How accurate is this depiction of the Amish?

   There are folks who would much prefer the Amish way. The Amish way will keep the peace. However, will it keep your freedom?

   Let's dissect this scene. The Amish were getting harassed by a few thugs, who thought it funny to make fun of, and abuse people who were fundamentally passive and non-violent. The Amish Way was to do nothing about the harassment. But John Book, being a Philadelphia detective, was accustomed to using violence when he thought it necessary.

  So, when John Book was asked to stand down, because it wasn't the Amish way, he refused. Book went over to the guy, who proceeded to act in a provocative way towards someone who he took to be non-violent. Instead of being non-violent, he got a punch in the nose. That was John Book's way. It is easily contrasted here in this scene.

  There are many folks who think the Amish way is the better way. But what do YOU think?

  Let's take a situation in which a thug is harassing an elderly person, who cannot fight back. This is a scene that you'll see repeated often these days. It happens all the time in the "blue" cities. The police do nothing. But what happens to the helpless ones? Aren't the police supposed to protect the helpless? Well, in blue cities, it doesn't happen anymore.

  In my opinion, I'm more in line with Book's way, than the Amish way. People who will abuse the helpless need an ass kicking. That's plain and simple common-sense. How else are you going to protect the innocent, but to intervene forcefully when something wrong is occuring? If the police won't do it, then somebody else MUST.

  The thug faction, particularly in the Democrat commie party, is acting this way towards the helpless. Yet, they have the gall to call you violent if you oppose them. Bullshit.

   The Democrats, whether they know it or not, are acting EXACTLY the way the Nazis and Communists did in Europe prior to WW II, in Germany. You see, that is what the Amish type fear. They seem to believe that if you wish it all to go away, then it will. But the only way to stop Hitler was to kill him. The only way to stop the commies, was to be armed to the teeth, and be prepared to fight them on their own terms AT ANY TIME.

  The so-called "free" world won the Cold War, only to the lose the peace. The Amish faction has taken hold, and is demanded of the citizenry to be still, and take the abuse from the political left. So, we "won" the Cold War only to surrender to the left in order to keep the peace with them? Screw that!

  The commies want your guns so that they can abuse "WE THE PEOPLE" at their leisure.  I sure hope that there are enough patriots who can see through this shell game, and call it out.  If need be, to kick their asses once and for all.  If there isn't, we will be subjugated by them.   There IS NO OTHER WAY.  The Amish way will not result in keeping our freedom.  It will invariably lead to the loss of our freedom.  You can take that to the bank.  It is what the commies tried to do during the Cold War, and they are at it again.
